I realized something today. Or rather, I suppose I remembered something today: when I feel a need to get right down to work, I roll up my sleeves (if they're long). And I pull my hair into a ponytail (provided it's long enough).
I used to do this when I wrote papers for my classes. Something about the actual physical act says to me: "Okay, self. It's time to knuckle under."
Today I was wondering to myself why I do this, when it occurred to me... the pushing up the sleeves and the pulling up the hair gets distractions out of the way. Trust me: if I want to put off working on something and my hair is down, I can twirl it for quite a long while. Or braid it. Or use it to make silly little mustaches on my face.
Yes. I suppose that means I'm easily distractable. So be it.
But if these small links are all I sometimes need to convince myself to get down to business, I wonder why I don't do them more often.
Also, I wonder if I have equivalents when my hair is short and I'm wearing short sleeves.
