I cant agree more, when working in freelancing, You ‘need’ your concentration so you can be productive, However, working without my music as a background makes you feel that there is something missing while your designing.

By that being said, one of the most distracting things for me is ‘facebook’ it actually ‘burns’ my time and rune my productivity, and I really think I just cant close the window! coz even if I do, I just re open it over again.

Mobile phone is one thing that keeps ANY freelancing designer worried and distracted, I believe and its a fact that most of people who works in art ‘Graphic design is counted here’ need their emotional part the most so they can produce art, It’s just the fact, and by a girlfriend calling you every hour or two ‘if not more’ will keep your mind thinking out side your design cocoon that gets your productivity and time lines sucks.

Lovely post, But I would love for you to suggest solutions as we all need.

Thank you.
Really.
