I am a web site designer working from home (and a mother, housewife, etc). I wear an apron with a pocket, and if the phone rings I answer it with the cordless/headset and pop the phone in the apron pocket. <br /><br />That way, I can go and do dishes, or hang washing, or whatever housework needs to be done, all while on the phone. Whether it is a client or a friend, I can still do no-brainer stuff like housework while I am talking on the phone. Not only does it leave my hands free, I can also walk around the house while on the phone.ChristineAbelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769098666817202194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153054093002933716.post-81808492838318622012011-04-03T16:53:59.272-07:002011-04-03T16:53:59.272-07:00Thanks for this great article.

It seems like time just flies by when I am on Facebook and Twitter.<br />I also have some dogs that start howling when they want me to take them for a walk ~ That is a huge distraction. <br />Well, the work is always there when I get back to the computer. I just keep on keeping on.Janette Fuller, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10799065558918643700noreply@blogger.com
