''working'' from home

7 Oct 2008

so just how easy is it to be distracted and what is it that drags the attention away from the task in hand?
I have to be somewhere at , I came on here to respond to a phone call and that was an hour ago! I've now been on HMV buying films just because some thoughtless person started a thread about favourite film lines and............ well I've added my thoughts to other comments, tried to change my profile to show that intelligent comments are mine and stupid ones belong to james (without success) and now running later than I wanted. Cleaner arrives anytime now and I'm not even dressed properly yet!
Does daytime tv engage? Is it the radio? Newspaper? Chat sites? This site?

have you gone yet?
My wireless connection went phhhuttt last night, and I feared not being able to come online at all on a day off as the cable connection-thingie has a buggered end (I trod on it a plastic wassname cracked-off (!).
So, I thought, whilst waiting for the gasman to come I'd just check whether or not I could jiggle my connector a little and not breath whilst at the lappy, I mayyy just get online... if not, no worries, I can get on with some urgent stuff for work (being online not necessary)... but.. I wiggled just right, so it seems... and the work?... welll......
Turning blue now, must breathe.

I often work from home and find it can be so easy to get distracted, but it is this place which distracts me. Infact, I am supposed to be working now and only nipped on for a quick nosey, but an hour and a half later, Im still here lol

I normally find that using my works laptop, which is very restricted over what it can and cant access on the internet helps, but then I cheat and turn the PC on as well rolleyes

Glad it isnt just me who procrastinates :lol:
