True!!

"Concentration
It's maybe a little fashionable to use terms like "information overload" and that all our technology is making us less productive. I'm starting to buy into this theory a little more though. I'm having a lot of trouble keeping myself focused on any one task for an extended period of time. I constantly jump between task A to task B to check email C, making a little progress here and there, but I think I'm hurting myself with all these context switches. I can't seem to stop myself anytime I have to wait for something (even very briefly), my focus switches to something else.
The most problems are at work. Now I'm fairly sure the environment has a lot to do with it. It's an open concept type, with a few cubicle walls here and there. People are constantly interrupting me with questions and random conversations can break out frequently. For the most part I really like these aspects, but it can be very hard to concentrate on a task. Home isn't much better though. I have trouble just concentrating on one task, I almost always have a movie or TV going at the same time, and I can't seem to turn it off."

I found myself saying "same here" ( :( )
