			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been blogging for a few years now. Over the last few months, I&#8217;ve been keeping private notes regularly. I haven&#8217;t been returning to them much after I&#8217;ve written them.</p>
<p>Today I realized that twitter has been a bigger distraction for me than ever after many attempts to deal with it. So I stopped checking it. I was more productive at work today than I&#8217;ve been in months.</p>
<p>After thinking about it, I remembered that I&#8217;ve blogged about various ideas I&#8217;ve had for dealing with twitter productivity problems. I wonder if I would have come to the realization sooner if I made a habit of reading my own blog posts?</p>
<p>I also have a lot of ideas jotted down over the last few months that I haven&#8217;t returned to. I&#8217;m busy right now, but when I get a chance I think I&#8217;ll take a peek.</p>
