It's so many things.

- We just moved, so I'd rather be unpacking and organizing our stuff.

- I'm sitting at my home PC, where I normally work on fun projects that I care about, or play games, etc. There are two projects I am itching to do right now that I could be doing at my computer, but instead, I'm reading work emails.

- I am admittedly a bit burnout from my actual job right now.

- Three cats who want to climb all over me and my computer desk all day, and a dog who wants to play and go outside all provide excellent distractions.

That sounds like a lot to deal with. Have you tried to mix your normal work with housework? Eg. working on work-related things from 9 to 11, do some unpacking and organizing from 11 to 12, back to normal work from 12 to 13, so on and so forth. While you are away from your computer, you can check your mails on your phone for "urgent" messages, so if someone really needs you, you can go back to your pc. That's probably not going to solve the issue with your pets :D But maybe it can help with all the other stuff.
