Productivity Tips for Home Workers

Scott Young shared a great list of productivity tips entitled20 Ways to Stay Productive when Working at Home.
What I'm guilty of the most of the tips or what I sometimes have a hard time following is this:
Don't Count the Low-Value Tasks - Determine what is most important and count that first. I've heard from home entrepreneurs that they work 10-12 hour days. But then I manage to see them making forum posts and lengthy e-mails. It makes you wonder what they consider work. Only count time from your extremely important and difficult tasks. Spending one hour writing a blog article or finishing several pages of my book is worth a dozen hours of answering e-mails.
When clients inquire or when some blog commenters try to communicate with you, it's a form of distraction that is so hard to avoid. Sure the client needs to be prioritized but if you can't discount the value of communicating with your blogs' followers either. One way that makes me get around this problem is to time the minutes I spend in answering emails. If it exceeds 30 minutes of my time, finished or not finished, I have to sign out of my email account.
What home business distraction can't you stop yourself from yielding to?
