I love multitasking but have reached an point of late where I am literally chasing my tail. I have a problem with focussing. Its like if my mind is idle for too long, I will subsconsciously begin a new task without even realizing it... i.e. while waiting for a page to load on the Internet, I'll open a new window and read something else. But the danger with this is there are too many tendencies to go off on a tangent and then I look up 30 mins. later and I've partially done five things and haven't completed a one. So, I am committed to turning over a new leaf by practicing active focus! Meaning that when my mind is idle on one task at my desk and I feel like I want to do something else on the internet, I just get up and stretch, walk around and refocus my mind on the task. So far, I am doing a lot better... getting a lot more done. The trick for me will be to keep doing it. Thanks for this post, it is timely.

Removing yourself from the potential distraction is an excellent point. Another thing to do is to keep a pad next to you (if you're forced to work online). Title it "Distractions" and then whenever tempted to go somewhere, just write it down, and do it later. I write a 2-minute tips blog and just wrote about having a NOT-to-do list - http://visionadvancement.wordpress.com/2009/02/23/how-to-use-a-list-to-be-less-busy/ Hi Lindsay.
