Sometimes working from home with no one looking over your shoulder makes it difficult to stay focused and motivated. Why bother getting that boring task done today when tomorrow will do just fine? Who is going to know that you put off your research into that passive revenue plan for the 18th time? That would be you, the one and only person on your corporate org chart.
That’s why today’s Momentum Monday is dedicated to all the solopreneurs and freelancers who are working from a cozy corner of the couch or in the local coffee shop and trying frantically to get more done!
#1: Get Started Right Away — Just as productivity begets more productivity, goofing off begets more goofing off. Avoid the temptation to coast through the day by getting an early start on getting things done. If you do find yourself starting the day off track, get back on immediately before your lack of productivity turns into a welcome excuse to pack it in early.
#2: Set Achievable Goals — Nothing stops you in your tracks faster than looming goals that are impossible to achieve. Even if you have a task list that is a mile long, start by carving off achievable chunks instead of trying to get the entire list done all at once.
#3: Keep on Moving — Sometimes productivity isn’t linear (and that’s okay). If you find yourself stalled on one task, don’t let that stuckness derail your day — move onto another task on your list until you get back in your groove and then go back to the to-do that you were stuck on.
#4: Deter Distractions — It probably seems that everywhere you turn, there is a welcome distraction waiting to pull you in. Know which distractions you can’t resist and actively avoid them before you even give them a chance to take you off task. That may mean logging out of social media, shutting down email and turning your phone to silent.
