Tell Me What Tuesday: What Distracts You the Most While Working from Home?
Working from home is never something that you just jump into just because you’d like to work during your most productive time of the day without a boss breathing down your neck. It’s also about battling it out with distractions at home while writing your articles or finishing coding the website that’s due since yesterday.
My favorite distractions include my niece, a little punk who stops my world whenever she’d walk in my home office; and YouTube.
What about you? What work distractions do you love/hate the most?

I have a funny story about distractions. Normally my dog is pretty good about being quiet while I work. Last week she just kept barking and barking (not normal behavior for her). I kept quieting her down so that I could get back to work, only to have her start barking again.
I didn’t discover what it was until I went aside and found the neighbor kids standing outside of our window making faces at her.

YouTube. Your blog (and some others, LOL! just kidding!
).
Nowadays I just bring back my laptop to my room and take out the LAN connection so I can concentrate on finishing my projects.

Haha. Kids, whether their yours or not, are definitely major distractions. Have you talked to their parents yet?

Good for you! Having self-discipline helps greatly, doesn’t it?
Oh and that reminds me, boy do I need a new laptop!
