Things that are helpful for work productivity:
1. Getting to work before anyone else, when it’s quieter and there aren’t any interruptions.
2. Making a list of 3 things you want to get done before 11 am and knocking those out first.
3. Removing distractions from your desk and facing away from windows.
4. Setting a timer to get up and move around at least every hour.
Things that are not helpful:
Letting a kitten in your office while you work.
Especially one that likes to sit on shoulders and watch the computer.

I was just thinking you hadn’t said much about cats lately! Cute photos!
One of my cats loves to lay across my arms whenever I type on the keyboard. Though it takes some getting used to, it keeps me warm; so I would love to have him (and the other two) at work with me!
Do your arms ever fall asleep?
Not productive, but downright wonderful just the same.
Ah but a kitten is good for productivity b/c cats bring us automatic de-stressing, exercise, and a touch of cat hair needed for a high-fashion vibe!
But what a beautiful distraction she is! I’m having the same type of distractions at home when I try to knit. They’re really interfering with my Loopy Academy progress and my Christmas present knitting. But like Patricia in OH just said – not productive, but downright wonderful just the same! . . . . .even if it means flunking Loopy Academy and giving gift cards instead of hand-knit items for Christmas.
Oh…how true!
Right!
I’m always amazed you can get any work done surrounded by all that lovely, tempting yarn!
Yes, that’s definitely another distraction!
That kitten is just gorgeous! I’d have a hard time working also.
My cat loves to climb on my shoulders while I’m on the computer also; I think they liked being in high(er) places that lounging on the floor.
I meant to say “they like being in high(er) places rather than lounging on the floor.”
She’s/he’s sooo cute…can I borrow her/him to keep me focused at work too (smile)?! What/s the kitten’s name?
She – Lexi!
Oh my goodness! What a cutie! She’s very helpful to you- she’s keeping your shoulders warm!!!
Well, one shoulder, anyway … 🙂
I just love this picture. I would love to take one of my cats, Henry to work with me, but that’s just not possible. I do the next best thing; Henry lays across the top of my sewing machine when I sew – front legs having over the side – out like a light and snoring – very happy cat. Will have to find a picture and post it. Happy Halloween !!
Cute – I’d love to see a picture of Henry doing that!
She is so pretty!
Awwww, she’s adorable!
OMG!!! She’s adorable!!!! How is she when there is yarn involved???
She likes yarn. She’d like to eat it all. I hope she outgrows that!
Outgrow eating yarn?
(Snort) (Snicker)
Right, Sheri. Good luck with that.
But I’m sure it helps that she is so beautiful… ;o)
I love this kitty! Your hints are also very helpful!!!
HAHAHAHA!!! heeeheeeheee……
**giggle**
She is so darned cute.
**giggle**
If Salty Dog wouldn’t try to eat every delivery guy that came in here, I’d bring him with me to work. Somehow, I don’t think the boss would be very happy….
She’s adorable. Very perky and curious. I like that a lot!
She’s almost TOO curious!
She sure is a cutie! Is it the resident cat?
She just comes to visit Loopy once in awhile (and stays in my office while she’s there.) Most of the time, she resides with us at home. 🙂
Soooo sweet. Soooo understandable. I’m distracted now too! *grin*
How cute!!!
Kittens and two year olds… cuteness is their camouflage to allow them to live to an older stage of life. >^^<
True!
I can see that she would be quite the distraction. You need to teach her to file. We had one that would sit in the file cabinet and paw through the hanging folders. Adorable!
She is actually quite a BEAUTIFUL kitten!!!
So true. What a cute kitten. It would definitely be difficult to work with the kitten around. I’ld be playing.
