First of all, if you are working at home you should know that anything is good to let you away from what’s really important, your son is crying, you are waiting for an email response, your dog is barking, or anything that leaves you to procrastination.

In the beginning of the day you wake up with lots of tasks to do, and you end with almost nothing done, and the next day is the same, and the next you don’t want to wake up because there’s so many works with so little time to accomplished. Anything is good to distract from your goals, so you need to avoid procrastination by delineating your ‘to do list’ and break your tasks apart in small parts, if you have a task that have a duration of 3 or 4 hours possibly you will let that task behind, but breaking it apart in tasks of 5 or 10minutes it’s a lot easier to start, and keep going, only with commitment you will be successful.


You will need to prioritize tasks, and keep focus on the importance of it, every task needs investment, time and effort. Try to do in one week a list of the time that you spend doing other things besides working, like eating, sleeping, driving your kids to school, watching TV, take a walk with your dog, and maybe you have to cut some unimportant task that are spending time, and allowing procrastination.

Being happy is the first step to increase productivity, everything will became more easier, and with your free time you can be more creative to produce whatever you want, and develop original content.

If you work more in less time, you could rest better avoiding unnecessary stress and wake up with more energy, in the end it could create a efficiency circle.

Working properly will provide you more time to adquire knowledge, and is easier to keep it in your mind. How many time it happens to you, reading the same phrase 2 or 3 times to understand what is means?

Give yourself 5 minutes to celebrate when you achieve an important goal, it will let you happier and you regain strengths to achieve other goals. One thing you can do when you don’t want to do nothing, is answer your important emails, or white a message in twitter, or respond to hubpage comments, and then restart working.

Something that I notice when I’m working in Internet is that one thing takes to another and you start doing a task, and end without that task done and trying to do multiple tasks, so this doesn’t work, focus on your goal and keep strait forward, if another good idea comes up, you simply white it, and leave that to the end of the day.

Checking email, social media sites, or comments in your blog or in hubpages, checking google analytics, or the stats, can make extremely unproductive, so do it just one time a day.

Normally there are shortcuts to do things quickly and better than usually do, so why don’t you catch them?
