Write? Right.

It鈥檚 Wednesday lunchtime and I鈥檓 sat staring at a blank screen. I need to write something for the Blog, but the phone鈥檚 been ringing all morning. And when it wasn鈥檛 ringing I was visited at my desk and questioned by people who tell me they kept getting the engaged tone when they called so they felt a personal visit may help.

It doesn鈥檛 as conversations face to face tend to drift off in all sorts of directions and take up more time than phone calls, which in turn take up far more time than e-mail, or better still, text. I have to go out.

It鈥檚 now Thursday morning and I still haven鈥檛 started writing something for the Blog. When do people find time to write stuff? I鈥檝e got a great idea for a topic, but I have a meeting in five minutes and I鈥檝e just been told I have to stand up and say something.

Thursday lunchtime. My time. I鈥檝e written this. I鈥檒l put some time aside tomorrow to work on my idea for the Blog, but right now I have to go out.
