For Christmas,
a loved one loaded Jungle Style Pinball
on my iPod Touch.
One of the many things
I love about this game
is it trains me to focus
on the doing,
rather than the score.
The best time to look at the score
is between plays.
If I take my eye off the ball
and look at the score
while I’m playing,
I always lose the ball.
It is challenging not to look
while the ball is in play.
I want the feedback.
I crave the feedback.
As it is challenging not to look
constantly
at my Amazon rankings
or at my sales.
But if I wish to win
at either pinball
or business,
I have to keep my eye on the ball
and save the score checking for designated times.
