I used to have a lot of social medias account and stay in them for long time. But now just Twitter as my main one.

All other tips are okay with me.

Nice article!

@Rachel: star chart reminded the childhood time but really enjoyed how you are still using it. Great tip!

I use a star chart, similar to the ones you can get for kids. Instead of getting a star for cleaning my teeth, tidying my room or being a good girl, I get them for clearing the day’s emails, phoning clients, opening the post straight away and so on. If I hit my weekly star target, I get a prize.

Sounds childish but it really works.

Earplugs have become an absolute necessity. They may not shut out everything, but I find that they help to dull down noise that may otherwise distract me. If I’m working on less technical items that don’t require too much thought, then I listen to podcasts as another way to make myself focus and alert others around me that I am unavailable for conversation.

Thanks for a great article! I agree – I work at home and the distractions are huge that lend to procrastination. I’m thankful that I have a dedicated office. I use a big wall calendar to make lists and stick to a “work” schedule – the laundry and grocery shopping wait for the weekend!

I also try to minimize distraction from the above mentioned but with regards to sounds, sometimes I don and sometimes I don’t listen to music. It depends but overall, I couldn’t agree with you more about fighting procrastination… nice post.

Great advice about something that’s becoming more and more of an issue the more connected we become. I posted this as one of my three links on my Design Thought for the Day blog:

How To Fight Procrastination As A Designer…

In order to maximize your productivity and work time, you need to cut back on procrastination. The more time you spend procrastinating, the less work you get done, which is bad news in the end. Distractions are all around us as designers….

There steps are important to avoid getting distracted especially when you are in the “zone”. But what do you do when you work in a cubicle like environment with papers flying all around. Well, not that bad, but you get the idea. Where you share a phone with the colleague next to you.

I suppose invest in a good pair of noise cancellation headphones.

I’m with you on all but the music , I find my left brain gets bored when I’m designing and my right when coding so to keep them both happy I pit on some funky deep house without vocals on. This, I find, kelps me not only working well but also moving as I bop to the beat. The reason movin is important is so o don’t get aches and pains or RSI.

Lovely post cheers

More good ideas from everyone!

@Mia – it’s a photo from flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/waltersfamily/329286594/ Pretty terrible I know!

@Murlu – Good idea on rewarding yourself. I find that the action of checking an item off my to-do list is rewarding, it doesn’t take much time and it makes me feel really good about it! It allows me to get back to work quickly and I have a list at the end of the day of what I’ve accomplished.
