Well I'm pretty much in your same shoes...work-at-home freelancer with a problem maintaining focus. I swear I used to be a lot better, but over the years I've slowly found it becoming more difficult to stay on task. Since I started working at home 4 months ago it's really become a problem.
For me I think I need to get out more. I've found that I work best when in coffeshops or places where there are other people around me who are also working.
I think the isolation of a home-office combined with the comforts of home makes me a little too comfortable.
In terms of music, I've found that stuff with repetitive beats works best. That means a lot of ambient, chill-out style music.
I have this theory that stuff with a computer-driven beat (like a click-track) makes my brain think better, as opposed to the organically created tempo of most of the rock stuff I like. Something about the precise repetition... I don't know. Hope that makes sense.
