I look around the room and I seem to notice that 

we are all distracted! 

Our thoughts are quiet, our news is loud, and technology is...

Doot-doot!...

Ooo I have a tweet!... 

Now, what was I saying? Oh! 


We are all distracted!

It would do us all good to put these distractions away.

 Imagine all the work we will be able to produce in a day! 

If we would put...

Buzz-buzz! ...

Oh my gosh! I'm sorry! My mom is texting me!...

Now, what was I saying about distractions?


 We are all distracted!

It is the bane of our existence! 

We can't just take a day to sit and listen to our surroundings! 

Instead, we occupy ourselves and we always got to be doing something! 

This is what we ought to do...

Woosh!...

Oh! Hang on, I have been expecting an email all week...

Sorry about that. Now, what were we talking about? 


We are all distracted!

It's true! There have been studies done! 

Look at your weekly screen-time report; Do it!

 I think it will surprise you! 

If we take the time to put our distractions away,

 imagine how many wonderful and beautiful things we will notice today! 

There is more to the world other than our screens, all we need to...

Ding!...

Oh, it's just my game! Oh, wait! I finished baking my Souffle!...

Oh shoot! Where were we? Oh! 


We are all distracted!

Woe is the generation who would rather

 "hang-out" with their "friends" on social media 

than with their friends face-to-face! 

If we put our distractions away, 

imagine how much human connection we'll make! 

All we have to do is put our...

Ring!...

Oops! I thought I put this on silent. 

Oh, this is my friend! Sorry, I got to take this...


Sorry about that, I've got to go.

 I wish we could talk longer.

 It was nice to have an honest and free discussion

 with someone who feels the same way about distractions...
