Being present and being fully committed are closely related, if not two aspects of the same thing.
Faced with a long list of things to do, interruptions and demands on my attention, I often found myself working on one thing while a part of my mind wondered if that was a good idea, perhaps I should be working on a different thing, and another part was wasting energy thinking I could never get everything done, and worrying about the consequences.
I realized that is not being present. Being present is choosing the most important thing to do and committing to it, leaving behind any "what ifs" and "maybe I should insteads."
I had a good day at work today, letting go of tension and working with fuller presence, focusing on one thing at a time. I got more done and felt better while doing it.
