Distraction

TODO is filled up? Having distractions? bloggers and entrepreneurs suggest these tips:
Go back to 1900s
Put your cellphone in silent mode, Shut down your computer or disconnect internet if your work involves computer. Unplug your cable connection if you are working from home

Dry board
Use dry board and pen to draw something, at least use pen and paper instead of Computer. Do some simple math without using calculator to activate your brain.

Block websites
Blocking the distracting websites would be helpful up to some extent. If you are a avid gamer, uninstall all your games from your current account and install them into a new game account of same computer. Lock that game account with a very long password that you could not memorize, write it down and keep out of your reach. So even if you were tempted to play game you won't remember the password and you will be reluctant to lock down your speedy current account with multiple windows open just to play games. Better leave the password in home if you are planning to slog that day in office.

Get an iPad
An expensive solution would be to buy and iPad. Do all your fun browsing in iPad and come back to work once you are done.
