Now if I would just stop pretending that that gives me leeway to goof off for a full eight hour day, siiiiiiiigh!

A home work environment is treacherous for someone as easily distracted as I've allowed myself to become. Maybe I should come work for you for a while and let you whip me back into shape?

I allow every distraction to pull me away from work I should be doing. The dogs know this and have formed a conspiracy. They are happy to invite me to redirect my focus dozens of time a day.

However, I wouldn't feel badly about "wasting" time if I could do it as creatively as you! :D Lee, I definitely fall onto the “reality” side of your diagram.

I'm not sure how well it would work for me at screening distractions, though. I have to take calls during business hours, so I can't blot out the sound of the phone. Still, I might try to find a way to incorporate that into my routine. Mahalo! Adam, the headphones tethering one to the desk - that’s a good idea.

My work and private sphere is as tangled as yours. Then again I save myself a two hour commute a day so the time I 'waste' on the internet is still time saved in the big scheme of things.
