Delightfully Sidetracked

I was delightfully sidetracked!

When a writing colleague used this term, I was delighted for him, and a little envious.

After all, I’m more likely to hear statements like:

I couldn’t focus!

I’m procrastinating!

I haven’t achieved anything!

Of course, there is a cost when we view getting sidetracked only as a negative. We end up focusing on the gap, and not the gain.

My curious colleague was rewarded with something as - perhaps more - valuable as would focusing on his original intention have been. We curious people are often sidetracked on our way to a new discovery, or two, and that is delightful indeed.

It’s the weekend and I’m curious, how might it be an opportunity to be delightfully sidetracked?
