Work at Home Productivity Tips –

Today I am talking about the Power of Single Minded Focus.

It's the way we get into the 'flow' state, the way that we can block out the noise and get things done.

I found this system to be very helpful to me today as a matter of fact.

My cat, who shall remain nameless, woke me up at 4:30 am to come in the house – all three of my cats don't use the door, I'm never at it, so they come to my window, either office or bedroom, depending on the time – they are worse than my teenage son by a long shot I can tell you.

They bang on the window and make a heck of a racket until I give in and let them in.

So… I finally gave in and let him in. And then couldn't go back to sleep of course.

I thought I would have a productive morning as I was surprisingly awake for that ungodly hour. But alas, it was not to be.

My internet connection wasn't working well, in satellite or dial up, so it was a frustrating snails pace of a before dawn work session.

By the time I had dealt with small emergencies in getting the kids off to school and solved various problems that had arisen in the morning with a new product that I have been working on, I found myself unfocused and frustrated by 10:00.

Note: this is product development month around here and I have true to my word, created a product!! It's the launch of my long awaited iShine Community and the product is a Spring Cleaning Challenge course. There is a Work at Home Forum at iShine if you'd like to stop in and say hi or start a discussion.

So off I went to have a shower and refocus, the shower is not only a body cleanse, it cleanses the mind as well I'm sure. By the time I was finished, I had sorted out exactly what I needed to do to get back on track – using my single focus time pocket plan which was going wildly askew this morning. Without it, who knows what I would be doing right now, probably wandering around the house in a daze, or back in bed with the cat – hope he's enjoying his siesta this morning – noon – and evening.

So here I am, back on track.

I hope that you enjoy the podcast.

Speaking of animals who don't like to cooperate, you will hear my bizzie body dog wanna be interrupting my focus, (she's a pomeranian but thinks she is a pit bull who should know everyone's business) and the telephone chimed in as well just as I was talking about the importance of not letting the telephone interupt.

Leave it to me to do a podcast on single minded focus, it's bound to happen.
