Quarantined and Working From Home

Do you remember that song from the movie, Grease, when John Travolta starts off singing the words, "Stranded at the Drive-In..." 

Well, today I kind of wanted to write new lyrics for that number.

How do you think it would sound to sing, "Quarantined here at home, following all the rules..."

That is kind of how I'm feeling this morning.  I have loads of work to do but I cannot seem to focus on anything enough to get it going, get in the groove, and get it done.  I've got video scripts to write and videos to record for one of my summer professional development workshops.  I've got visuals to create and examples to update for another PD workshop.  I've got ideas for materials that I could be collaborating with teachers to create for students to continue their learning while they are isolated and at home.  Yet, I cannot seem to settle on any of that.

I'm sort of like a butterfly, fluttering here and there and pausing at first one flower and then another.  I will find an example that needs updating and moving from one folder to another in preparation for being included in a workshop and then I'll get an email notification bing-bonging and I click over to see what it is about.  I will enter a few words that relate to the slide for one of my videos and I'll get a notification on my phone that the Governor is going to give an update about the state of our state and Covid-19.  I will add a catchy graphic to a slide and draw a text box and while my fingers are resting on the keys and my brain is trying to come up with a good heading, a pop-up notification will slide onto the bottom of my screen giving me notice that somebody has a question and might need me to show them how to do something to make their online lesson more interactive.

I'm wondering if I was at a REAL office would I be able to focus and get my work done or am I just using my location and the fact that I've been here in this place for over two weeks as an excuse for not getting things done.
