    This is the problem with having it on the net, i'll think about something, search it and then end up more distracted. Hougtimo, how do you keep yourself focused?

    Lol, well a few ways. I set myself a mental target (today I'm aiming for £1.10 per 30 mins)

    I close all programs apart from Firefox (or internet explorer) and press F11 so you can't see the search bar or other tabs. Get some headphones on and see how many minutes under 30 it takes you to get to your target. Every half hour I stop for a drink and have a walk around. Thats it really.

    I've just finished my £1.10 in 27 minutes. I'm gonna step my target up to £1.20 for the next half hour.

    Off for a drink now :)

    Ohh also, set your halfhourly targets lower than you KNOW you can do - as if you don't meet the target you start to lose interest. I found this yesterday.
