I wrote a piece for Joe Hauckes blog, Working at Home on the Internet. It was interesting to go back and think about how I went from working in a very formal work environment to my home office (or wherever my phone/PDA is). An excerpt:

“I practiced what I preached in my book. Not worrying about if I had success or failure in writing in a particular day- I just wrote as part of the overall cycle and kept “bouncing” to the next chapter. I also tried to “strived for minimal achievement” and I did not get caught up in the enormity of the task. I would focus on one section at a time and not worry about an entire chapter or getting it right perfectly the first time. Focusing is becoming an increasingly difficult skill since there are so many distractions, but it also can become relaxing when you relieve yourself of these things by shutting them off and telling people to stay out. We all need to let go a bit more.”
