I used to have focus problems too. That was until I started using Rescuetime. Now it forces myself to work harder every day and to constantly try to break my own record for most hours worked per day. VERY effective!

btw, WTF are you still doing up, stackpaper? (Just kidding, I don't need any fucking sleep today)
I think it's pretty normal. Especially with online biz. Too many distractions.
This is what I do: Get up, walk away from the machine. Make yourself a cup of coffee (weak - you don't need the stimulation, just the placebo). While you are making it, think about what you want to acheive in the next 2 hours. Come back to your screen and just hammer it.
Two hours goes pretty quick when you are right into it. I think it's the most amount of time you can seriously work hard before you get tired and disctracted. You can't keep that pace up all day.
1 or 2 sessions is about as much as you can expect of yourself each day. The rest is for wickedfire

an oz... i envy you mightily. here in new york city the prices are outrageous (but ill pay them... an oz lasts me 3-4 months).... but very rare to get named strains (for me at least.)
its really because i dont know many dealer types. lol
i don't sleep much ;x
i'm surprised i'm not exhausted... wild ass weekend in vegas.
you livin in LA yet sucka? EDC THIS WEEKEND!
yeah, out here is nice cuz we have a MJ dispensary literally on every block.
pretty much just hop on weedtracker, check the menus, check for deals, and go buy your pot.
depends on the clinic.. you'll pay anywhere from 200 (regs) - 500 (DANK DANK DANK DANK DANKKKK) for a zone.
i think i paid 400 for the oz of herer.

never heard of this before, but must say... looks really impressive.
something useful for us OCD weirdos over at WF.
signing up, thanks IAW. +rep
Try working at home with 2 kids under five. One of the kids has ADHD.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, DADDY! DAAAAADDY!"
"WHAT! Goddammit, WHAT?"
"Can I have a popsicle?"
"Sure son, you need more sugar."
I could kill myself somedays.
/edit/ any kind of weed makes me tired, so I just stick with coffee.

Fuck man.. coffee. I had 2 cups at like 11 pm yesterday and haven't been able to sleep since
lol

I get this every once in a while, then I smoke some crack and I can't stop working.
Actually I just get in those moods where like someone else said, I feel like I need to work, can't work enough.

Sucks to be you. I usually have a couple cups before bedtime and pass right out. Could be that I've been drinking coffee since I was 13 years old, and built up a slight tolerance for caffeine...

I think you have described a lot of people that I know that do this sort of thing for a living, myself included a lot of the time.
If it is a brief period when I am feeling like that I need to allow myself to take a break. When you don't have the structure of normal pay agreements you can sometimes feel like you *have* to be working every second you get and that can have the reverse effect and make it hard to properly focus.
Over the years I have also found that as much as I naturally fight it I need to have a structure to my day. My prime benefit to this work is not having to commute (a major bonus in London) but I had to stop mistaking that for not having to have proper work hours. I know not everybody works like that but I had to after years of just floating in and out of focus.

Haha alright alright, maybe I didn't notice because all I do is work when I'm speeding (this shit is a miracle for me, no harsh comedowns either) but I'll see if I get babydick next time. But last I recall I don't get it. Weird.
Coffee is good stuff too. However it doesn't really make me focus, just makes me jittery (depending on how much I drink of course).
That rescuetime application looks good, I'm going to have to try it out.
HAHAHA Nice! Glad to know its just not me. I down coffee at 1am and still pass out at the keyboard.

thankfuly I live in Vancouver, BC. Cant remember last time I bought weed, I get it just for doing things like driving guys home from work.
That and oz's are $150-$200
@ Stack Paper Your post about Weed Tracker pretty much sums up my Friday morning ritual...
I agree with XMCP123 regarding the sativas... the only thing that works for me is a low-mid grade sativa if you want to get anything done. All the top shelf stuff will just knock your ass out.
However nothing beats a potent ass sativa for creativity and brainstorming... and then you can take a nap
With regards to getting stuff done I think it's imperative to have a plan every single day. You know at least have a few things you'd like to get done...
That, the $3K mortgage and the gallons of coffee keep me going...
