In blogging and webmastering, it can get very distracting from the purpose. This site is good for helping one avoid those pitfalls. Thanks for turning us on to it. As you said, I am neither a mom nor do I work from home, but hey . . . working on the blog counts right? I am really into templates and charts to plan my goals. With respect to these goals, I've created a few WORD files you can print up and use on a clipboard to arrange your day before you ever get distracted. They're at my site in the freebies section (nothing special, but they help me daily) Sitting down to make a dolist is crucial to being productive.

I don't always get everything I want done, but at the very least it provides some structure to my day. I started doing this about 2 years ago, and it's helped quite a bit. I also thrive at night Derek - less distractions, and usually more motivation. Though I find when I get in a good routine I actually get more done in the morning/early afternoon. It's just hard to keep the routine up all the time. Every morning the first thing I do when I wake up is set new goals for the day/week or review my existing goals.
