Interesting. My electronics work-bench is right next to my work/personal computer, so when I block on work stuff I can switch to doing a little on my electronics projects. It's made me much more productive.
I'm just too easily distracted. I start on a thing that I think will take five minutes, next thing I realize that it's 7 am, birds are tweeting and there is a stone cold cup of tea sitting next to me and a bunch of non-priority stuff done (but it's so much more fun...).
Most dangerous times: when the administration needs to be brought up to date for the tax man. Then I really have to force myself. Fortunately I've been able to off-load most of that but even the little bit that remains is enough to get me to spend 30 hours on something else to avoid 1/2 an hour of work.
Just that... and here I am... 4:40 and not a soldering iron in sight :) Off to bed!
(Ear training exercises are fun. I just built an ear training module into the beta of pianojacq.com and it's a hoot, what's also interesting is that it seems to have an immediate effect on playing ability, I really didn't expect that)
