is too disruptive, and the ambient sounds of an office or coffee shop distract me,
especially when I'm writing. http://simplynoise.com/ creates a wall of white
noise that blocks out all distracting sounds, without being distracting, so I can
get into a flow state while working.

www.mattmcwilliams.com For me, there are three keys to getting more done in
less time. First, I divide my day into segments where I must intensely focus and
those where I can be less focused. Checking email does not generally require a
lot of focus, so I can do that while listening to a podcast or eating a snack.
Writing a blog post or writing copy for a product launch requires absolute focus,
though. During those times, I remove all distractions, close all windows, put on
the headphones and listen to some meditation music. Second, meditation.
Speaking of meditation music, meditation is new to me, but has helped
tremendously in helping me to focus. I have a tendency to have an idea a minute
and be easily distracted. Since starting meditation, I can more easily focus for
longer stretches of time. Third, I set deadlines throughout the day and set a
definitive end time to each day. I work better on a deadline, so I set them
throughout the day. I must complete project X by noon, project Y before I eat,
and I must finish all work by 6:00pm. That time varies as my schedule varies but
those self-imposed deadlines keep me moving quickly. My goal is to get the
most done, do it as well as I can, but be content with it being 95% right, moving
to the next thing, and spending my best time with my family, not giving them
my leftovers.
