Yesterday was day #2 of the conference that I mentioned in my blog posting on Thursday and at said conference I won one of the book draw prizes. Oddly, given that there were hundreds of people at this conference, three of six people at my table won book draw prizes over the course of the two days, but I’m not going to complain about that!

Your Brain At Work: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, and Working Smarter All Day Long by David Rock.

I think I could really use some strategies to help me focus.

It will be a nice distraction from the four other books I’m in the middle of reading. 🙂
