If you asked me this a decade ago I would have said 2003, when I was working 80 hour weeks. But looking back now, in terms of what I accomplished and produced, it was a lot less than I do now in terms of rate-of-production.

I’m writing this on an iPad Pro, which is my computing device for recreational things. I don’t have social media. The niche sites/forums I belong to I can only access from this iPad or my phone. My workstations are for work only and Hacker News and other sites that I frequent are blocked. I disable notifications—no messages, no popups, no email—just work!

In terms of time spent during a week, I spend more time as a single father than I do as a software consultant. My time working is focused and productive but short. On days that I don’t feel productive I tackle the low hanging fruit. On days that I am productive, I go for it.

Sounds like you’re taking the right steps.

Do you work remotely ?

Yes.

Any tips? I know there is a large amount of tips on the internet. But I find it very helpful to talk to people who have done it themselves.
