Blogging and Writing help: Living with distraction and interruptions

A lot of books on writing tell you to find a distraction free environment. Although I agree it helps tremendously, I’d also argue you should train yourself to work with distractions.

Does your boss provide a distraction free environment?

Practice writing in a room with lots of distraction. So give it a go - not always, but from time to time, make yourself work with distractions. If you don’t have family or house mates, try leaving the TV or radio on. Or if you really want a challenge - both of them.

Likewise interruptions. No job gives you the luxury of working without interruptions. So why should you expect to as a writer or blogger?

Again, practice working with interruptions. Practice getting quickly back into the groove after an interruption.
