I had this image sitting around on my harddrive and I wasn’t sure when I’d ever be able to use it – until now.

I was reading (and re-reading) Leo Babuata‘s book Focus and I wanted to share a excerpt from chapter two (“The Age of Distraction”):
While humanity has never been free of distraction — from swatting those bothersome gnats around the fireplace to dealing with piles of paper mail and ringing telephones — never have the distractions been so voluminous, so overwhelming, so intense, so persistent as they are now.
Ringing phones are one thing, but email notifications, Twitter and Facebook messages, an array of browser tabs open, and mobile devices that are always on and always beeping are quite another. More and more, we are connected, we are up to our necks in the stream of information, we are in the crossfire of the battle for our attention, and we are engaged in a harrying blur of multitasking activity.

Bill wins every time.
I have all but given up on trying to synchronize the multiple different address books and contacts that I have among all the different (and competing) systems through which I communicate with. It’s just impossible.
But I still dream that someday someone will create something so amazing and universal that I’ll be freed from my bondages of disorganization; I’d pay handsomely for a solution!
I remembered this issue when I saw a recent LifeHacker article that made a nice attempt here but it’s not without a few steps. Check it out.
