Dealing With Distractions

Web Worker Daily: "As I sit here working on blog posts, I can hear my next door neighbor, aka @crazyneighbor, carry on loudly through the wall of my home office. He seems to be alternating between mowing the lawn, making very loud whooping noises, and fixing his car. Needless to say, it can be pretty distracting."

Distractions are always a big part of my procrastination. I find that music can generally help along with working in quiet community places, like the quiet study. On occasion I enjoy working in my room, but that often brings distractions like cleaning it, just to have space to work!

i agree with katherine, there will always be distractions either from other people of myself that will take me away from my work. i usually work best if I make a workspace. For example, I have a spare room in my apartment that I only use for homework, this helps diminish the amount of distractions present.

Good tutorial. This belongs on lifehacker.
