Distractions distractions distractions.
The first thing that pops in my head is facebook and twitter for me. I get easily distracted because I have these 2 tabs open all the time withing my web browser (obviously nowadays I don't as i disconnect from the internet whilst working on content etc)
And it's not just social networking sites but TVs aswell. I used to work downstairs in my house away from my 2 brothers playing Xbox in the room next door as this was a distraction. But my new distraction would be the TV and having Sky sports news on in the background and I would easily sway away from my work.
My suggestion.
If you can try to set up an office withing you house with just a desk, your computer and a window. Have a lock on your door so people can't just walk in a easily distract you.

You hit the nail on the head with the office advice...this morning I was texting my husband that I cannot continue to do this perched in the recliner. It's where the younger kids come out and drive me crazy when I'm trying to just read something...because when I'm on the computer it didn't used to bug me when they talked or were around. Now I need to concentrate LOL!!!!

If you are ranked 46, you must be successful to at least a satisfying extent! Is "major major success" for you in the 5 digits per month?
