A big thing for me is, interest in the task. As long as I have an interest, then distractions don't come into play. I would like to add GOOD, capable management and communication in there.

As for my business, probably this: How interesting the job is Amount being paid Helpfulness of client That last one is key. Right now, for example, I'm waiting for a client to send me some files. Been waiting all day, so not terribly productive. As for my late-night creative outlets, I seem to hit my creative peak inside a 2-4 beer window. So I probably would've had: Not enough beer Too much beer Nothing good on TV Depends on the task. As for my business, probably this:

B: agency. C: avoiding important, actual-job-related tasks. i can also be tricked into being productive with the promise of chicken nuggets or cheese-flavored potato chips. productivity for me is the intersection of:

If my computer's program is old and out of date and farting rather than doing what it is supposed to do, and a 10 minute task takes 2 hours, I get frustrated and bored, and go look at blogs. Not productive at all. I agree with ML, I need a manager who will get crap out of my way for me…and I need the tools to get the job done, which sometimes doesn’t happen very well.
