Working at home has its benefits but it can also be difficult in terms of staying on task and being productive because there are many distractions at home. In this article I am going to give you 3 tips on how you can be more productive and get more done.
When do you naturally work best?
We all have certain times during the day when we are at our best. We concentrate more and stay focused more. Finding out when these times are helps us to use them to our advantage.
If you work best early in the morning then it is worth getting up early and working on your business during that time. If others in your household are still in bed then that is even better!
If you are a night owl then perhaps working late at night might work better for you.
Finding your bad habits
I'm talking about bad habits when it comes to working and being productive. Perhaps you get easily distracted when friends come online? Are you addicted to Facebook?
I have one friend who felt at a loss when Facebook went down the other week - and it had nothing to do with work - just that she didn't have anyone to chat to!
Maybe you should turn off the alerts on your computer so that you don't know when people come online.
Are there times during the day when you are more likely to get distracted - such as mid morning or mid afternoon when you fancy a snack?
Often taking a break can be the time when we get distracted if we don't have a time limit. It is better to set regular short breaks rather than none at all.
Knowing your focus
To work effectively we need to understand what our real focus is. The thing that we are aiming for. This means having some form of goal and plan of action to get there.
If you follow a plan, whether rigid or flexible, it helps to keep you on track and therefore productive.
Decide what the goals are for your business and then work out what you need to do to get there. Break that down into steps or tasks that you need to complete.
Keep reminders around you so that you stay focused and see your progress. Keeping a journal is a great way to see how much you have or have not achieved!
