I have been working from home for more than 9 years now. I have a serious occupational hazard- not being able to limit my distractions! It doesn't help at all that there are a million things that can be so distracting at home. Everything from facebook to emails, to HongKong Cantonese dramas, to Taiwan Hokien shows, to HBO, to phone calls, to visits from friendly neighbours, to taking out the rubbish, etc...etc...all so easily tempt me away from my concentration. Writing sometimes can be boring particulary when information is insufficient. So it is a lot easier to read a few emails or to switch on the dramas or to take a snack (more like taking many snacks!) on the excuse of "clearing my head".
Most often instead of getting the head cleared, the mind gets totally derailed. And...when the dateline draws nearer, it is usually back to the bad habit of pressing the panic button and burning the midnight oil! It is the same everytime. I have not improved a bit! Anybody can tell me how to?
