its definitely more difficult to stay on track with work when you don’t have structure. The only way around it is to CREATE structure in your life. This can be done in a variety of ways, and what works best for one person doesn’t necessarily work best for another. I know this very well, as I’m an ADD Coach. Let me throw out a few possibilities for you…

1) What time of the day/night are you best able to focus?

2) Do you work better in a quiet situation or with music, etc.?

3) At the end of each working day, plan your next work day.

4) Go beyond a To Do list – assign yourself actual times that certain tasks will be done.

5) Plan ahead for breaks.

6) Think about possible distractions, and devise strategies that will help you with them.

Good Luck! And if you can afford it – reach out to a coach, as you’ll then have someone who can help you with your specific challenges, help you figure out strategies that will be most effective for you, and have someone for accountability.
