Watching soccer

I tend to watch soccer when I’m doing other things, it is nice as background noise and not to distracting when I’m writing emails or doing other productivity stuff. Now I’m using it as a background while writing this post. There is one important caveat. If my favourite team is playing (AFC Ajax) I won’t be able to do this. Then I’m concentrated on the game and shouldn’t even try to perform anything where my concentration is needed.

Currently it is Barcelona against PSG and the game is good on the background, two goals scored (40:57).

Barcelona

I’ve once seen Barcelona play in Nou Camp while I was on a training. One of those opportunities where you decided whatever everybody else is doing, you’ll go to the game in the evening after the training. And what a game it was, Barcelona were having the time of their live and beat Valencia with 6–0, and it was a confirmation of an important lesson I once learned.

if there is an opportunity to do something don’t hesitate and just do it
