Form a hacker group. Invite other coders/designers/bloggers to join you at a location. Have everyone sit at tables or desks so that what they are working on is easily visible to at least a couple others (no one lounging in the corner drooling to farmville ...) It's surprising the amount of work you can get done when surrounded by other people working, especially people who are passionate about their projects. As to distractions? The simple social pressure exerted by being in this group is almost always enough to keep everyone on task - no one wants to be the guy that is always there but never has anything to show off.
