This week is Dieter Uchtdorf's talk, "We are doing a great work, and cannot come down".
"Pause for a moment and check where your own heart and thoughts are. Are you focused on the things that matter most? How you spend your quiet time may provide a valuable clue. Where do your thoughts go when the pressure of deadlines is gone? Are your thoughts and heart focused on those short-lived fleeting things that matter only in the moment, or on things that matter most?"
Read the whole talk.

I suppose there are a number of things that distract me from my main purposes. Politics can be a real 20-cent light bulb for me.
Facebook could be for others. And yet those things can be and do good, so I don't think the answer is to eliminate anything that isn't of immediate and great importance. Perhaps it's to make sure the unimportant doesn't shove all the really good out of our lives, that we keep a balance.
Maybe this quote from Pres. Uchtdorf follows your thought Mark:
"Sometimes the things that distract us are not bad in and of themselves; often they even make us feel good. It is possible even to take good things to excess. Then he gives examples like ones you have given.
I also like "Pause for a moment and check where your own heart and thoughts are. Are you focused on the things that matter most? How you spend your quiet time may provide a valuable clue..."
