my biggest distraction is finding the interest in my work again. the spark is gone and chances are it won't come back - powering through is my biggest challenge. i'm productive each day, i make it a point to be, even something small - but not as much as i'd like to be.

one thing that's helped me in the past few days is segmenting my to-do list into three columns: short, mid, and long tasks. anything under 10 minutes in short, 10-60 in mid, and 60+ in long. if i'm not feelin a long task or know i'll be interrupted soon, i'll pick something less time consuming. this of course hinges on knowing how you work and what you can expect.
