8:29pm
installing lightroom.  eating a banana.  got the serial number wrong the first time.  must include "eating bananas while inputting numbers" on my list of inappropriate multi-tasking.  maybe there's something to this ...

9:58pm
well, unitasking has certainly gone well the last hour and a half.  edited a whole folder of photos in lightroom.  of course, that's not really saying anything.  when i get in my photo editing zone, a posse of alien ninjas led by vin diesel could storm the study and i wouldn't notice.

6:45am
ugh.  double ugh.  i effectively unitasked sleep last night, and i am now multi-tasking getting up and staring into space.  somehow i managed to roll the covers into a perfect cocoon since joel got up.  if i stayed in my cocoon another 3 hours, i would emerge a lovely, energetic butterfly.  as it is, i think i'm still in the melted caterpillar phase.

8:45am
i've set a timer.  will work on email and nothing but email until it beeps.

9:15am
score for unitasking.  processed entire inbox. (i was deleting emails from last year...)

9:27am
another entry for inappropriate multi-tasking: attempting to blow out a candle while brushing one's teeth.  enough said.

1:27pm
driving.  drinking a latte. talking on speakerphone. checking voicemail transcriptions.  but not listening to the radio or checking email!  maybe i should have been a little less specific at the outset. ok, no eating, drinking, phone-ing of any sort, putting on makeup, going through purse, or changing clothes while driving.  sigh.

4:30pm
practicing piano.  not allowed to get up for any reason.  not even to trim my fingernails, which are a half a millimeter past the point where i like them and are bugging me.  i keep my fingernails very short.  arg.

7:37pm
writing this blog.  did you know that multi-tasking wastes the united states 650 million dollars per year (according to the official statistical institute of random number generation, presumably)?
