We all get distracted and specially when we are not really interested or enthusiastic about what we should be doing.

I read in Flow (the book), procrastination happens when either the task is too challenging (for one's skill) or too mundane.

I have noticed, when I am really interested into work, I never get distracted and have total control over things (IMs, Twitter, etc).

I have recently started doing some side projects (small ones), so whenever I am kindda loosing focus on main task, I switch to other tasks.. So eventually, I am getting distracted but the outcome is positive, learning and being in flow state.

As someone said, addiction can replaced by something else, for smoking can be replaced by chewing gums or chocolates, but if you stop it doing all of sudden, it's not gonna work out..

my 2 cents
