Might be attention deficit disorder - self-medication with alcohol is pretty common for people with undiagnosed ADD. Since you have no trouble at work, it sounds like you work better in a structured environment. If you try specifically blocking out a period of time (say 7-9 pm) to work only on your project and not do anything else at all (turn off cellphone, close email/facebook/so on), you may be able to get yourself to work in the same way that you do at your job.
Just make sure that you end EXACTLY when you planned to end, as though you were at a job. Don't be a victim of Parkinson's Law.
- gobanana 14y agoDidn't think of that. When I was a kid people did think I have some form of behavioral problems, but when I got into programming from an early age then it all disappeared so I don't think it's ADD. But thanks for the timing advice. I'll have to try that.
- justinbaker 14y agoI agree, I was recently diagnosed with it and I have similar experiences. I self-medicate and my productivity soars. Works for me too.
