STAYING FOCUSED DOING VR/SR

Normally, I'm very disciplined about work. I have a very stable job, very good pay, great accounts. I am just having trouble staying on task. Mind you, I do not have to just push and push. I just need to relax and complete a report, upload it, do the next one. I can breaks when I want to. There is NOTHING wrong with my situation except as soon as I start a report my mind goes to a zillion other things I would rather be doing. I can hardly get thro ...

Hi, I was wondering for those of you who work at home, what type of methods do you you use to stay focused at home, ie. environment, lighting, and so forth?

I have done this type of work for a long time. The last couple of years I have a terrible time staying focused on my work and not emailing, texting, surfing the web, etc. I need the money really badly! What is wrong with me?

I am literally sick over it and worry about i ...

Yep, that's my 4th within a week. Yep, just as I noted a couple weeks ago, 2 "punctuation" errors and you fail. One spelling error that I have no idea how that could make it through spell check. And a full point for not cc'ing a dictating physician who said to send him a copy - because the CP did not say not to??????? I thought it was policy not to cc the dictator even if they requested such. I cannot even remember any client profile stating not to send a cc to the dictating physi ...

I am ADD by nature and the older I get, the worse it seems to get. Any tricks of the trade you all have would be greatly appreciated. I used to use music in the background, but my hospitals have terrible audio lately and it seems to do more harm then good at this point. ...

How can I be? I'm too focused on what I'll get dinged for. Every other day there are updates to account specifics. How on earth can one remember every little thing for every single account (I do 5)? What will the auditor think of this or that? Should I actually type verbatim even if it makes NO sense? Should I change what voice wreck typed, i.e., "On physical examination, the patient..." The doctor actually said, "On physical, the patient..." So, this goes ou ...

I was just wondering how many other people work third shift and have such trouble staying awake? I have been doing third shift for a while and it's HARD!!! I have a new baby and my husband watches him in the day, but I cannot seem to get more than 4 hours of sleep during the day and then I try to take a nap in the evening before work, but I am STILL having problems staying awake and I know being tired sets one up for disaster for mistakes.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with/power through horrendous audio quality reports? We have had these reports on my primary account for 2 months now and my company refuses to do anything about them.

Any tips you might have would be greatly appreciated. TIA. ...

This morning a local morning talk DJ had an interesting segment. He was responding to a woman who had called in, complaining that he didn't have anything "positive" to say. His response was, "Oh, I am POSITIVELY certain that we are all getting screwed!" (Comments were in reference to Congress extending the debt ceiling.) This reminded me of the asinine phrase, "I'm just going to be POSITIVE!" that I hear over and over, usually from women, most of whom are MTs.&n ...
