www.schoolofpodcasting.com I use an office away from my home. This helps
me focus when I'm there to do work. I use asana.com to create a "to do" list and I
know when I'm in my office what I need to do. I am laser focused. This also
allows me to focus more on my family when I'm home. I actually work less
hours, but because I'm more focused, I get more done.
