My last two jobs in the "real" world had me multitasking myself into a corner and bombarded me with a lot of noise as well. I'd come home exhausted every night and very sensitive to loud noises. Gosh that was 15 years ago and I'm just now getting better about noise in the background.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-35192321271367102302009-02-18T02:58:00.000-08:002009-02-18T02:58:00.000-08:00Lots to think about.

I really need some time away to clear my thoughts and feel some new inspiration. Thank you for sharing. Your quilt is beautiful, I have enjoyed watching it come together.

I never learned to drive until I was 37 and when I'm driving I don't do ANYTHING else.<BR/>I didn't read the whole article but remember hearing that the IQ's of people who were doing a lot of multi-tasking actually went down.<BR/>I do knit in front of the Tv. Part of that is a defense against against going to sleep as soon as I sit down.Nora and James McDowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122226614873576802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-24113444236627180222009-02-17T18:36:00.000-08:002009-02-17T18:36:00.000-08:00Rhonda, I hadn't made the connection to the rise i...Rhonda, I hadn't made the connection to the rise in interest of meditation and other "spirituality" movements. Good point.<BR/><BR/>Sheila, I commend you for working in silence. Part of my morning routine is to eat my breakfast, drink my coffee and read a bit while the house is quiet. But once I get dressed and going on my day, I usually don't want total quiet and the radio comes on for background. If I'm doing something that doesn't take much thought, sometimes I'll crank up the music for motivation, to get me moving. But if I'm thinking through something or doing figures, the outside noise needs to be very background or non-existent.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-8236880247754578052009-02-17T14:16:00.000-08:002009-02-17T14:16:00.000-08:00Deep and sobering thoughts indeed.

I find it interesting that the growth of Western society's interest in meditation has come at a time when the world of distraction is increasing the intensity of its intrusion into daily lives.RHONDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373777700517608045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-4879988800372068152009-02-17T10:44:00.000-08:002009-02-17T10:44:00.000-08:00Very interesting interview.

I spend a good bit of time with no radio or TV on for "background noise" while I work and knit. It is easier to think and create.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864486239094681293noreply@blogger.com
