The family member decided to cook french fries but  got distracted with video games in another part of the house...Whew..No injuries.  

It helps me from getting too "distracted".What about you guys?

Sorry, I got distracted by the thought of all the innocent people that lost their lives. 

It is easy to get distracted, but where you focus the most attention will get results. 5) It sounds like you want to live a life by design.

@Christian Vann and @Malachi Lindsey "Success usually comes down to choosing the pain of discipline over the ease of distraction."

Interesting but not right for me, just too much within it that I won't use and is a distraction.

It is merely your attempt to distract from the ultimate holding:  Alaska trust law does not apply in Montana. 

But if you hold it still for long enough, that one leaf will catch fire, then you fan the flames and leave it, and move on to the next leaf- Most people get too distracted.

Otherwise you can become distracted by all of the options and end up in an area of the business you are ill suited for or just dislike.

If you don’t want to get distracted by that either than use fundrise or other crowdfunding platforms and let them manage your money (granted it will be lower return but it will free up your time).
