• How can I concentrate WFH? I've done this for 11 months ad I swear it's geting worse and worse. there are just TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS - mainly the internet because no-one is looking over my shoulder, also food, cups of tea, music, doing household chores etc etc. Right now I have 3 easy things to do before tomorrow, I'm dicking about on here and I'll have to log on at 22.00 to get them done. I sit on conference calls reading the internet and missing things on the calls. AAARRGHHH I feel like I am going insane. Thank you for listening to my TED talk

  • Improve your reward system, at the moment you are using distractions which leave you unfulfilled and guilty. Try a solid block of work with a good quality reward like a ten minute walk where you can let out a primal scream at a cat/tree/god then go home and carry on.
    Next try a dedicated end to your day, unplug stuff, put away monitor screens and treat it like you cannot work any longer, this will shift your deadlines forward to a better time of day.
    Try to be busier, sometimes people procrastinate the easy stuff because when it is done they have the boredom and emptiness of nothing to achieve. If you take on more you may become more productive, if you have nothing to take on, learn the banjo/bagpipes/bongo’s. Your neighbours will appreciate this.
