You want to get the most out of yourself? Get rid of the distractions!

Do you ever find yourself working away then out of nowhere you get drawn away from work to a phone call, IM or something else? Do you find yourself getting bored while working and wandering off to twitter, wickedfire or other websites?

I’m willing to bet your not the only one. I fall into this trap sometimes as well. Some days I just can’t seem to stay motivated and focused. Once that happens productivity drops! Time is money, so I need to be focused all the time so I can be as productive as possible.

How do I get around this? Personally I either ignore it all or sometimes even go as far as unplugging the phone, turning off the cell phone, closing MSN Messenger and closing off anything not related to what I’m working on. Then I run upstairs or run to the washroom or grab a drink and come back to get a fresh start and go at it full force.

Do you get distracted? How do YOU deal with it??
