I was just settling in to write when the cleaners arrived and the noise threw me off for a bit. I only wrote about 700 words in my first bout, then I made another cup of tea, went back to my study and focused. 1834 words today! I didn't even hear the cleaners leave.
I write notes on anything remotely paper-like. (Except books. I never write on books.) The TV guide is frequently used, envelopes, receipts ... I try to stick to notebooks but somehow they're never around when I need them ...
The worst distraction for me is, guess what, the Internet! As it happens we have two computers at home and the D-Link for my study computer broke a few months back. I have yet to replace it, as it means the temptation to 'just check my email!' or 'just look something up quickly!' instead of writing has been removed. I only go online in the evenings now.
