This *hopefully* will help me stay focused on the family I'm working on rather than getting sidetracked by a new idea or lead.<br /><br />I hope this will also give me the confidence I'll be able to remember/get back to that new lead when I need it for another project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08541316737018192375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394184517128570144.post-40939354048111313202012-11-28T04:54:35.697-08:002012-11-28T04:54:35.697-08:00I have a text file open, where I state (very brief...I have a text file open, where I state (very briefly) what I was working on, and where I was looking at (weblink, page, etc.).

I close all social media. I turn on some music, set a timer (so I know I won't get lost too long) and close out anything else. It seems to be the combination that works for me.
