7 Ways to stay productive while working at home

If you are like me, work at home may be more a burden than a privilege. A job in social media, social media, either blogs or something requires patience, enthusiasm and, especially, persistence. You could be patient and enthusiastic about your work, but remain persistent, focused on assignments can be difficult for even the brightest, most diligent employees. The problem, for me at least, multiplied by five when I am at home. The absence of a coherent calendar, the abundance of distractions and unlimited freedom leaves me unproductive (and stressed several times due to my lack of productivity). Over the past two years, I found ways to keep me productive at home. I have provided some tips below. If you do not follow them, I can guarantee that you will be less likely to engage in distractions of your own making.


Make a calendar, you can join


OK, so faire a schedule may seem obvious, but there are some ways to design a calendar that you will actually paste. First, the annex should be realistic. Don't tell yourself that you will work for 9 hours at a time, when we barely able to work for three hours without a collapse. You may need to work on building focus to a greater number of hours. While making your schedule, integrate your calendar of distractions. If you are smoking a cigarette or control of your Facebook, which incorporate in your calendar. For example, we are going to say that you wake up at 8, starting at 9 and need to work up to 6. Give yourself a break of ten - fifteen minutes every hour. In this way, you will feel as you in fact deserve the break, and you have motivation to work until your next one. You can use Google Calendar, a calendar on your phone, or even a notebook to keep track of your time.


Turn off your phone


OK, so at least put this huge distraction on silencers. One of the things that prevented me from working: phone calls from friends lost for a long time. Somehow, they all remind you when you're busy and must operate. Once you take a phone call, you may be in-2 hours. In addition, love life exhausting your friends could take a toll on you! You can just call it a day after lose you your time role playing shrink your friend. Put your phone away and deal with emotional problems your friends when you are not on the payroll.


Block both to your friends


For your friends who do matter (or deserve your time), include breakfast or the with them happy hour your work schedule. By example, if you plan a lunch break, block an hour for them. The worst thing you can do is be spontaneous and ignore the important tasks that you must complete.


Be comfortable, but not too comfortable


Has always been my motto: dress to impress. However, sometimes when I'm working at home, I throw this motto by the window. When I opt to wear my pyjamas to level 5 pants, I finished by leaving my brain in his bed, too. I feel lazy and careless throughout the day. The days that I put on a pair of jeans and a dress shirt, I am more likely to stay on task. This may seem crazy, but it really works. Change your clothes, and you can change your attitude of a sloth to an optimistic and motivated.


Keep your workspace Tidy


I have friends very disordered, but most of them make constant mistakes because of their lack of organization. They always say that they feel better when their work space is clean, and they fail to keep this way. To keep yourself motivated and concentrated, keep your organized work area!


Keep in touch with colleagues


If you work at home, try to stay in touch with you work with people. Even if you have never met them (which is common for those working in social media or blogs), it may be a good idea to see how they allocate their time to do their work. Do you be not shy to get advice or ideas of your remote friends!
