Work At Home Tips To Getting Things Done Everyday
One major hurdle working at home is going to provide you is how do you get things done. I'm talking about accomplishing things everyday working for yourself just like you would if you were a job with a boss to answer to. Here are some tips to help you get things done everyday while working at home.
1. At the end of the day write a list of what you need to get done tomorrow. It is understandable that things change everyday, but this should be your starting point. Writing it down and reading it before tomorrow offers some sort of magical formula for success. When it is written down you know it needs to be done. No excuses.
2. Try and run office hours for yourself. Granted working at home offers you the ability to come and go as you please, but if you do not work a set number of hours every week you will not make any money. This may change from day to day, but take a look at what demands are on your time from friends and family in advance and then stick to the work schedule you set up in for yourself.
3.. Control distractions as much as possible. If the television pulls you away from getting thins done turn it off. If your home office has a window that you find yourself staring out all day, maybe you should close the blinds.
4. Have a set of yearly, monthly, weekly and daily goals for your business at home. Work towards hitting these whatever they are. Break them down into things like make a certain amount of money today. Work 30 hours every week. Spend 10 hours on promoting or networking myself and my business.
5. Crank up the fun o'meter a little bit. Do you know how many people wish they were you. You do not have to battle traffic everyday on your way to work. You have no boss looking over your shoulder telling you what to do all day long. You may not realize it right now, but you are living the American Dream of being self employed. Have fun!
These are just a few tips to help you get more done everyday. Working at home offers so many good things for you if you do it right. Surprisingly many people fall into the trap of just plain not working enough. To avoid that try and follow all of these tips. Disciplining yourself to get things done and knowing what you need to do is important to your success. You can do it.
