It would be extremely easy to talk about Australian politics right now. The day the party ousted their own, will they give her a make over, will she live at the lodge, will all the women of Australia vote for her cause she’s a arrr women? 
The First Female Prime Minister has taken her chair, but frankly I’ve already had my picture taken with the lady and have moved my thoughts on to bigger issues.
Well it’s been a while since my last post, because I’m still not loving my chosen design of this page. It’s not working for me! However, finally I have put finger to key board as I’ve now dug down to the real issue. It’s called busy mind syndrome. Don’t we all identify with this? Wow how exciting, a diagnosis for why I can start a project strong out of the gate, but this last week or two haven’t had much pace on the finish. This is particularly apparent on the home front. So thanks to BRW this month for moving me into action. http://www.brw.com.au/p/sections/health/over_active_minds_threat_to_productivity_T5nwRT2NWzQI6w6EQmd51L
This month BRW has a fabulous article by Judith Tydd, outlining results from a study that may even have coined this phrase. Busy mind syndrome is defined as “a tendency to juggle multiple activities and multi-task” – every woman I’ve ever known – “and as a result, struggle to concentrate on one [individual] task”. Instigator and researcher, Martina Sheehan said people reported that on weekends there’s a real inability to focus on their kids. 
My hand is up as one of those. I want to be busy and it kills me to sit still and play with my child on the weekend. Could my child also have busy mind syndrome - he starts a puzzle, watches 10 minutes of a movie, wants a drink, and pulls out some toy cars, all in the time it takes me to put the kettle on. Hang on I forgot he’s only 2. So what’s my excuse? I need to move on from busy mind syndrome, the article recommends pausing for one minute before moving on to the next task. Well it’s time to pause and move this diagnosis into a treatment phase. I only hope our PM Julia doesn’t have busy mind syndrome.
What makes you feel like this?
