I'm a terrible task manager and (though I've never been diagnosed) am quite attention deficit. But, I've learned that I'd rather force myself to get good at those things than have to take orders from someone.

Paul Allen's book helped me a lot. Having a business partner that is a natural self-started helps a lot too.

You also have to learn your limits. For example, no matter how hard I try, I _know_ that I can't work well at home. I get too distracted and I'm not productive. So, I don't even try. I've always had an office.
