Just wondering how others deal with being distracted at work? One of my symptoms this time around is being almost unable to focus on my work for any length of time. Part of the problem is that I don't have any pressing deadlines in front of me, so it's easy to give in to distraction. But the bigger issue is that I'm having so much trouble focusing, concentrating and even remembering (things that have been said in meetings, etc.), that I'm nervous about it starting to become apparent to others.

I work from home for my company as a result of moving out of the area. My work can generally be done from any computer, so I rarely have a lot of supervision or observation. Even so, when I have to ask for clarification or repetition on things that have been said in meetings I've attended by phone, it's mortifying (often I realize as I'm asking that this has probably been said in a meeting I've attended, but I have absolutely no recollection of it at all...)

Anyone have any tips for dealing with this?
