Keeping Motivated.

Working from home, earning money and not getting off the sofa is a life's dream for most of us. But if you're not careful it can all come crumbling down and you can start to become very lazy to a business you have built up. Give yourself a daily routine and keeping distraction down will be more productive to your business.

Routine.

Start your day has if you was going to work for a company, give yourself a time of day you want to start and set hours for your work day and keep to them. The biggest problem when you start at home business you seem to give every hour of the day to it, but it will slow down but it doesn't mean you have to take it easy. Keep to a routine will be more productive to you.

Don't Be A Slob.

When you get up don't just make a coffee and get straight on the computer and sit all day in your pj's. Give yourself structure, start the day properly with breakfast, shower and get dressed in something nice and comfortable. Feeling good, looking good will make you work better.

Me Time.

Starting a home business will take a lot of your time up when you first start, remember to give yourself breaks during the day, get out the house for a while have a walk, go out see family or friends, go to the gym etc; Locking yourself away is not good for your health physically or mentally. Keeping yourself fresh will make you work better and be more productive.

Eating Right.

Don't become a take-a-way junkie, keep to your breaks being hungry is a very big distraction. Have your breakfast, lunch and a nice cooked dinner. You will feel so much better for it.

Distractions.

Distractions are one of the biggest problems working from home keeping these down will keep your concentration to the max. Keep the T.V off, only use your phone for business (unless it is an emergency). Keep up with your housework and laundry leaving it will only make you think of it more. Setting yourself boundaries will free up your time for your work day.

Listening To Music.

Listening to music doesn't have to be a distraction but keep it to something that you won't forget why you are at home, dancing around to your favourite tunes won't get you any work done. I tend to keep away from the radio has it can have too many distractions during the day mainly the news and discussion on various topics. Try to keep it to easy listening music something that keeps you relaxed and focused.

Home Office.

Having a home office is a good thing to have or a place where you be on your own to work. Keeping your desk away from the window this will help your concentration keeping you away for all the distraction outside, place it so you get natural light on you. Remember this is your place of work don't allow it to be clogged up with laundry or end up being a storage room, keeping it as an office and keeping your desk in order will make you more relaxed and productive. If you have other people living with you let them know if the door is shut you are working and don't want to be disturbed.
