I am now, have been and will be wrong

Places you want to be, Places you have to be, and transportation to get to the places.

This fairly summarizes the locations you're in. OK, we can even incorporate 'transportation' as a "place you have to be". Inside a vehicle, the immediate (2 inches away) surroundings are pretty much the same.

Why consider this?

Take it as a challenge to simply to the extreme. Many times it will clarify the problem. If nothing else, it will force you to eliminate the distracting noise, and let you focus on the problem itself.
