I noticed something yesterday while working from home. I get insanely, retardedly, unbelievably focused.

I suppose it has a lot to do with the lack of distractions I set up for myself. Plus I don’t have my sales staff, random people coming into the office, the phones ringing, the constant questions about random technology issues, et cetera. Maybe it’s from reading David’s posts about staying focused all the time.

Yesterday I sat down to start messing with Ruby on Rails for the new Dorsia.com that I’m desperately trying to finish up (read: get something meaningful up there!). What I found was that I didn’t get up.

That’s right, once I was focused and had 4 terminal windows open and was hacking away on both the desktop and the laptop (with the dual G4 music server in the back pumping out the jams) I didn’t even flinch. Not only did I mess with Rails and decide on what I wanted to do with that, but I solved a handful of other issues that had been on the burners for weeks. I don’t have an actual schedule, I was just winging it like a mad scientist.

The Voices of Vision documentary series is alive and well on Revver now, kicking ass. I have everything set up to make the DNS switch and bring that site to live happily over at Dorsia. Like most hipster companies, I’m trying take 2007 by storm.

At any rate, the point is I didn’t eat lunch, I held out on urination for as long as possible each time, I didn’t have CNBC on in the background, and I was completely and utterly focused.

My question now is, should I continue to nurture and encourage this kind of activity or should I go to the office?
