Hi. My name is Tof. I’m a work-a-holic.

I’m never quite sure what to do with myself on my days off.  I have seasons where I am very active in things like disc golf, going to live concerts, racquetball, song writing, ultimate frisbee, meeting friends for coffee.  But now a days I find my self letting my mind become obsessed with work-related projects.  It doesn’t help that I have virtual 24 access to email, planning center online and can take home set lists to craft along with a whole slew of ministry related books.

Part of it, I believe, is my tunnel-vision.  My wife will tell you when I’m in the middle of a project, it doesn’t matter if a nuclear bomb went off outside, I will bring that project to completion before I can think of resting.

And at the same time, I’m easily distracted.  I’m one of those scatter-brained people who has a running list of things in my head.  When I think of that new task to complete, I immediately forget about the thing that I’m doing and start working towards that new goal.  For some funny insight into people like me, check out Peter Mayer’s song “Scatterbrain”: http://www.petermayer.net/music/play.m3u?t=53

I guess I just need to find something outside of work that fuels my creative spark.  Any suggestions?  Anyone?
