Ask HN: How do you concentrate when you have non-work things on your mind
I'll try to keep this brief. I've always been world-class procrastinator, and struggled with concentration. It's definitely a problem, but somehow I usually manage to get stuff done in the end.
Now I'm going through some personal problems, and it's like my inability to concentrate is amplified x100. My mind just seems fuzzy and I can't get anything started. Even when I force myself to close all distracting web sites, I find myself looking at a blank monitor or staring into space.
Everybody has problems, but work has to go on. What are your "hacks" for getting work done even if something is on your mind?
