When you work in an office you generally get paid for your time.
If you work at home either you’re working for yourself, or you’re working on some venture of your own outside work hours.
So if you dick around and don’t get anything done, you achieve nothing. Not even a paycheck.
Most homes are full of distractions. Most people like distractions more than work.
Another hard day at the office
This is why most people don’t achieve much at home.
Follow the 5 simple methods below and you will achieve more.
Stick To An Hourly Schedule
Work for 1 hour on 1 task, then move onto something different, even if it’s a related task. This gives you impetus to do as much as you can in an hour and minimises time wasting.
Turn The Internet Connection Off
Stops you mindlessly surfing the web and disguising it as research. Do what you can without the web, then hit the net after.
Buy A Plain Pad & Pencil
Plot out bigger picture ideas away from the computer. A plain pad and pencil will help to free your mind and get creative.
Take A Break
It’s easy to get tunnel vision at home. Take 5 minutes every hour or so to get some fresh air, cup of tea or brief change of scenery.
Get Rid Of The Remote Control
Without this you are far less likely to turn on the TV. Not that you should even consider turning the TV on. Unless there’s football showing of course ;-)
