I am focused right now.
Focused on HN.
Of course that means I am not focused on one of the projects I am working on.
It doesn't mean I am not focused.
Recognizing the difference between being focused and working on a project is useful...or rather, I find recognizing the difference to be useful.
Distractions are relative. A hobby project is a distraction from paying work. Email is a distraction from hanging out on HN. Updating Firefox is a distraction from Gmail. Gmail is a distraction from a hobby project...
Interruptions are what break my flow states. Flow is about rhythm. For me, flow might be: focus a bit on the project, a bit on HN, a bit on the project, and so on.
Anyway, the way I get more time focused is by working more hours. Thinking about efficiency is a distraction. Good luck.
