Working From Home The Anorak Way

IS Michael S. Malone talking about me and you, and all the other writers watching daytime telly?

Can you handle that and still do the work? There’s a video of me, when my kids were young, sitting in a rented house in Oregon on vacation. Barney is on the television, my boys are having a pillow war all around me, my wife is vacuuming, and I am on the couch with my laptop writing a New York Times column, oblivious to the noise, flying objects and general chaos around me. Somehow, over the years, I learned how to focus — despite almost having flunked out of college because I was incapable of studying while wearing music headphones. Can you do that?

What they don’t teach you in media studies…
