I work from home, mostly. I work alot from my car, too. I believe that I am more producting since finding this blog and zenhabits. The other thing that helps alot is being an early riser. My day starts at 4am. There is no better time for me to string together continuous hours of writing. By the time my daughter and her daughter (2 years old) get up, I have made a 4 hour dent in the days projects. There is always noise and chaos from 8 until about 9:30 when the two of them get off to their day time places. I usually get part two of the day started at about 10am and go until 3. After that time my brain really isn't sharp or analytical, so I do some organizing and planning. Sometimes I'll watch Oprah, if there is something I find interesting. I may talk to customers after 5pm because that is when they are available, but hopefully, I have prepared for those calls and they don't require a pencil, paper and calculator.

It has taken about six months to truly make working at home much more productive than it was. I fumbled around for years.
