[bctt tweet=” I can’t keep going to the coffee shop everyday. So, some solutions.”]

I hate working in my “office”.

The area is in my bedroom.

Never understood why or how I hate it, I just do. It’s a closet, with two monitors and a desk. Above me there is two shelves that hold a bunch of old papers that I don’t care to read and above them is another shelf of papers I REALLY don’t care to read.

I built this office and mid-sized PC to do heavy-duty work. I can’t keep going to the coffee shop everyday. So, some solutions.

• GTD – I looked into GTD in the office, and the implementation was successful. It reinvigorated my organization skills, and I soon found myself on top of everything I had due or projects I wanted to tackle.  I have never, ever, put any system into my personal writing, projects, or art. It is time-consuming to get started, but it takes a ton off the top of your mind.  I am going to do the leg work today and do the final implementation when I grab the book from the office.
• A Sheet – I get distracted easily and part of the reason is that my bedroom has reminders of different functions and I can hear any music or TV happening (I don’t have a TV in my room but my living room isn’t too far away). I will roll a sheet down and put on my headphones with a mix – I have to put the blinders on and get to the races.
• Certified to-do / single tasking – I need to have reminders of my current todo’s avail in front of me. Physical reminders help as well, so, especially after the GTD implementation, I will place rubber bands and a cup and get to work. I think it will help keep me focused and give some meaning to the office in front of me.
