Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone - if I had small children around 
the house, it wouldn't work for me either.  It does help, though, that I 
have noise-canceling headphones that I can put on when things are a bit 
busier than usual.  Just put some tunes on and dive in.  I sometimes lose 
track of time, though, when I do that.
