The Self-Propelled Schedule Destroyer

What is the great schedule destroyer that is not directly tied to other people?

Lethargy?
Fear?
Impatience?
Attention Deficit?
Creativity?
Curiosity?
Disappointment?
Depression?
Ennui?
Entertainment?
Distraction?

My guess is one is far ahead of the others.

In terms of the destroyer not tied to others, it's attention deficit for me. My brain is constantly shifting gears between tasks. My guess is that I am subconsciously trying to seek the shortest path to meaningful results.

As far as destroyers that ARE tied to others, I will make a general statement that most in today's society do not have respect for their peers' schedules. The amount of unnecessary interruptions is mind-boggling and I think we all do it to each other. If it takes 15-20 minutes to truly recover from a distraction, think about what we're doing to ourselves.

My guess is fear as in fear of harm, failure or success.
