Lost: My Attention
I've been working hard on writing two papers for ICFP, and on Wednesday at 9pm I submitted them both. For the last month, I've been working very hard, flipping between 2 different topics. On the last day, I probably flipped between the papers about 20 times, correcting one of them while discussing the other with my supervisor. Getting drafts etc.
Anyway, after 1 month of fairly deep concentration, a mild lack of sleep, plus brain switching at unhealthy levels, I've totally lost all concentration. Since Wednesday the only thing I've been able to focus on for more than about 20 mins is sleeping. My brain is wandering all over the place. To take an example, I'm writing this post in the middle of an episode of Peep Show, which is only about 25 minutes long.
Anyway, I am sure with a good weekend getting drunk, and plenty of sleep and trashy DVD's (next in line: Bachelor Party Massacre) I'll be back to normal.
