Freelancing in Real Life

I apologize for using the worst (or best?) of pop culture and relating it back to the wonderful Anywhere lives we live…

Imagine you are Taylor Swift. You are up on stage trying to give a speech in one of the biggest moments of your life, and then doofus jumps up, interrupts you, and well, that’s all folks. Speech over.

Now imagine you are not Taylor Swift. You are at home trying to get some work done.  Maybe Kanye West isn’t the doofus that interrupts you but it doesn’t matter. Interruptions are still interruptions whether Beyonce deserves an award or not.  

This particular event reminded me that we all face distractions.  Today I simply want to link to some good reading on dealing with these types of obstacles in our quest to get work done.
