Once back at the house, I sat down at the computer and realized; that danged hangnail had cost me over an hour! Here's how to avoid such distractions:

• Start by examining your work-at-home (or office) habits. Where are your time wasters? (We all have them.)

  Data Exclusivity: The Indian Position

  Time management is a constant challenge for those of us who work from home. For the most part, I have it under control (after years of practice); but sometimes I slip a little. This week's "Enemy of Progress" - Time Snatchers!

  After a little episode earlier this week, I knew that I needed to write about this everyday challenge. Has this ever happened to you?

  I sat down at my computer to start a project. When I looked down at my hands I noticed something, "Oh my, look at that hangnail", and off I trotted to my bathroom dressing table for the cuticle clippers to take care of this urgent condition. In the bathroom I noticed the towels and decided to throw them in the wash. As I was getting out more dirty clothes from the hamper in my closet, I straightened up a couple of items that had fallen off the hangers and rearranged my shoes.

  Out in the laundry room I cleaned out the lint trap and took it to the trash. Seeing that the trash can was full, I took out the bag, replaced it with a fresh one, then got the trash from the bathroom and my office to add to it. I took the garbage bag outside and passing my yard, I stopped to admire the new buds on my favorite cactus, -- and spotted some new weeds, so I spent a few minutes and pulled them.

  As I came back through the patio I saw that the potato bush was thirsty, so I filled up the watering can to give it some water. Well, if it's thirsty, so must be the other plants. Four watering cans later, I start to head back into the kitchen, when I see the mail truck out on the highway which indicated that the mail had arrived. I go inside to change my shoes and get my sunglasses for the walk down the road.

  I could not find my sunglasses and looked everywhere for them. I finally found them out in the truck, and while I was there, cleaned out all of the junk mail that I do not bring into the house.

  It was a nice walk out to the highway, to the line of rickety rural mailboxes. On the way back I stopped to chat with a neighbor.

    How Should You Go About Treating Oily Skin?
    Oily skin sufferers everywhere share the same complaints against their complexion. Shiny, greasy slime that makes you feel like you’ve fallen into a vat of Crisco is not fun, nor is it attractive. There are so many products on the market that claim to fix the problem, but do they really? Do these wonder products actually remedy the problem, or do they do little more than just sop up the slime temporarily

          How to Get Ripped Without Getting Ripped Off - I
          Everyone wants to get ripped but very few people know how to get there and even fewer have actually done it themselves. While there's more than one way to skin a cat I can say, “I have been there done that” when it comes to getting ripped.Although it’s easy for me now to get shredded or to stay shredded it was not always that way.

          • Have rules & "business hours" to lessen family interruptions.

          Staying focused while working from home is a challenge and a discipline that is worth the time and energy to master. And when the stresses pile up, you can always just go for a walk. The boss won't mind!
