You know what's bad for productivity? Wimbledon. Or any Grand Slam tournament, for that matter. Even though I wake up before my 8:00am alarm, it's only so that I can turn on ESPN2. I tell myself that I can focus on tennis while I eat breakfast and drink my coffee, then I'll leave it on in the background while I accomplish things. There's just one small problem, tennis commandeers my attention every time I get started. Then I find myself migrating toward the couch, pretending that it's just to watch the end of the set.
Based on the fact that I'm not exactly a women's tennis enthusiast, you would think that I could get something done when they switch coverage to women's matches. You would be wrong. That's because there's a wonderful little innovation known as espn3.com, allowing me to choose the match I want to watch. Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy, concurrently putting one men's match on my computer and another on my TV screen.
Why can't tennis enthusiast be a job title?
