When I have a ton of work to get done, this is the only way it can happen:
(1) Block time off on my calendar for each thing I need to get done.
(2) Take my ADHD meds.
(3) Eat enough food so that I won't have to stop to eat later.
(4) Go to the bathroom so that I won't have to stop to go go to the bathroom later.
(5) Get my computer ready to go, with both big monitors on, iTunes on the "concentrate" playlist, and all relevant emails and documents open.
(6) Waste a little bit of time surfing the Internet, until I realize that I've already started using my blocked off time (see point (1)), and panic.
(7) Grab my dog and pull him onto my lap.
(8) Work.
I'm on (6) right now.
