What gets you in the right frame of mind. Is it music? Watching TV? Oh, you&#8217;re so bad! LOL</p>
<p>I&#8217;m guilty of both but lately I&#8217;m trying to get back into an &#8216;<span style="font-style: italic;">all business</span>&#8216; environment. Today we have a lot more distraction then we did just a few short years ago. It use to be the phone every now or then and perhaps a family member needing your attention. Now we have things like cell phones, text messages, email alerts, instant messengers, Twitter and Skype just to name a few. Toss in a cool program like House or a great album playing in the background and we&#8217;re soon in desperate need of hair transplants.</p>
<p>Ok, the best solution is quiet. Shut everything off and get to work. That might work for some but I need those little distractions mentioned above, I don&#8217;t care about my hair falling. It can&#8217;t get any grayer! What I can do is regulate them a little. As cool as Dr. House is wouldn&#8217;t it be better to fill my head with a little Seth Godin or Robert Kiyosaki? What about a teleseminar we may have missed? I&#8217;m a big fan of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> and most of these videos can be played behind your work while listening to the audio portion. I use a laptop next to my desktop for audio and video learning.</p>
