Thanks for the comments, and the quote. I suppose it really does come down to motivation no matter how much you work to create space…

I'm glad knowing I'm not alone in the distracted creative type category. I have tried using a program called Blank or something like that which blacks out all programs but the one you're currently using - it's OK. But even better I found a quote from the 4-Hour Workweek that I have next to my computer that says: “Am I inventing things to do to avoid the important?” When I do start chasing down bunnies online, I look over at that quote and I get guilted into resuming my workload. For me, it works. My productivity zoomed by using this statement for motivation. This post fits me to a tee. I’m glad knowing I’m not alone in the distracted creative type category.
