When I’m blogging I find it hard to stay focused.  I’ll watch a YouTube video, then I’ll get sucked into an article on yahoo, then I’ll check my rss feeds and find something interested.  With so much information isn’t it hard to stay focused?

How I stay focused:

1. Rather than check out all the interesting articles and YouTube videos I want to watch right now, I’ll bookmark the links for later.

2. I write a list of everything I need to do for the day.  The list helps me keep on focus to what I needed to do today, rather than focusing on what I didn’t need to do.

3. I turn off any distractions such as tv, an open door, but I leave the music on.  Often I found music less of a distraction since its not something I have to focus on, but a radio station like NPR (talk radio) will often be more distracting since you actually have to focus in on what your staying.  Often you’ll find yourself focusing in one what they say on the radio and not your own projects.

4. Avoiding email.  Email is a great way to waste time.  As I’ve written time and time again, designate email checking to twice a day.  Before your work and perhaps after, but never in between.
