what ever is distracting you make it harder to reach, TV unplug it , web surfing, unplug modem , bunker down , also helps to tell people what you are working on or just tell people you plan on having X project done by X date. Set a goal to drive you , people will slowly take interest and ask you about how your projects are going

Over time, working in isolation (even if you function as part of a team) can prove harmful to your mental health, business and website. In fact, even if other people are working on a project of yours, if they are junior to you, you can still feel isolated. http://www.smashingmagazine.com/…

Seriously though, maybe the problem with not being able to focus, is that forcing your brain to become more focused intensifies the problem?
Could not being able to focus, be a sign that you need a break / change / something completely different?
- actually, this is good. meditation is about not focusing which in turn helps you to focus.pizzafire

don't stay home all the time,
at least try to go out for an hour or two everyday, go ride a bike, run, do some exercise,staying home all the time will slowly drive you to the hedge.

I make lists of the stuff I have to do that day, then create a separate list for the stuff I have to do around the house but only start on them tasks after 6pm as if I would be coming home from work anyway, obviously though you will have to make some personal calls during the day to sort stuff out. works for me, and when you get the chance, take breaks outside in your garden etc. and if your really lucky find a hot neighbour who lives three doors down who also freelances from home :)
