Be a Turtle

So yesterday I was at work and I was doing well, then I started to rush and then I stopped, took a breath and told myself to take my time.  I did and I don't think I forgot anything.  That would make 2days that have gone by without forgetting, ok I admit I forgot to mail my time card but not a big deal.
I think in today's world we are trained to get things done quickly.  I used to be able to do more than one thing at a time,post accident, I could hardly do one I'm now able to do at least 2.  Except when something happens that I didn't anticipate. It can be something as simple as someone talking to me.
I love my job, it allows me to more or less work alone, I have trouble when someone tells me what to do, especially if it's not what I had planned to do or out of order or if I'm interrupted.  I myself am to blame often times this happens because I'm rushing and not keeping focused.
Just like the fable Tortoise and the Hare, TBI means you can't be the Hare, you need to be a Turtle
