Subtracting for Productivity
Yesterday I wrote about using props to create a productive environment. Sometimes you’ll need to subtract distracting items from your environment to be productive. If you’ve got multiple projects going, try only having one at a time in front of you. Keep a pad handy in case you get ideas about the other projects, but don’t keep all your materials on the desk at once. This will encourage you to multitask even when you don’t want to.

Your workspace needn’t look like a monk’s cell. But consider at least removing from your line of vision items that have strong associations that will distract you from work; “reminders” of tasks you’ve been meaning to get to, a book you just borrowed that you’re dying to read, etc.

Thanks for the link! Ironically I came home this afternoon because of a muscle spasm in my shoulder area that made it hard for me to move (not good since I work on the computer most of the day)
