This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m addicted to my distractions to the point of despair and almost complete lack of productivity. Thank You!!

Great information and awesome insight, it truly is par for the course but it is great to know youc an find a sort of handicap. Or way to do all you can to insure you are getting the most done.

I must agree also that working over multiple desktops or using the fullscreen option can do wonders.

On the pad and pen that works wonderful particularly when you are out and about and as an avid cyclist I am always looking for ways to take things mobile for a great ride and pen and paper is portable.

All other points were good, though I must agree not to sure about the giving the equipment to someone else to hold, though it does make sense.

Regardless thanks for sharing the insight.

Excellent. So true that I’m always tempted to check statistics, read other blocks, connect on Mybloglog etc. that it takes longer than it should to complete a post, or other work. Thanks for very practical tips.

userscripts.org appears to be out of commission, which made me sad since stealth kiwi sounded like a perfect solution for me. but i found something similar under firefox extensions called LeechBlock; it lets you specify times, days, and sites as well as giving you the option to create groups with different blocking restrictions.

I find it downright immature to have to give your equipment to someone else in order to get some work done – you should be able to achieve whatever levels of productivity on your own or at least by collaborating. Not by adopting a nanny of that sort. My 2p.

Hi, great article. About a year ago I read a book called ‘The Now Habit’ by Neil Fiore, Ph.D. which pretty much concurs with the points you’ve made.

One idea of Niel’s that I found particularly helpful was to work in half hour blocks and then take 15 minutes to stretch my legs or catch up on some reading. Short work periods and rewards work well for me.

I’ve recently signed up to a couple of social networks (MySpace, MyBlogLog etc.) as an experiment related to my web work and boy are they distracting! I appreciate your advice for unbundling work and web.
