I am sitting in front of my computer eager to write my content. Oh yes, it will take me only an hour or two to write my article.
Mmm.... Maybe I should check first my mailbox before I get started. Goutch, I forgot, I need to check my affiliate sales, too! Oh.. someone just sent me a message on my Facebook page! Ring Ring.. I need to answer this call now!
OOHHH...It's getting late, and I still didn't start my article.
What am I going to do? I need to write 3 articles per week if I want to grow my business!
Am I the only one who gets distracted? Come on. I am sure it happens to you, too:)
So the question is, are there ways to stop wasting time online?
And the answer is, of course,Yes!
Create a To-Do List
That's one of the most effective ways to keep you on track. Write down a to-do list on a piece of paper using a pen. By doing so, you give a command to your subconscious mind and believe it or not; your brain will make you achieve all your goals!

Turn Off Your Phone
I don't know about you, but I am in love with my phone! It's funny, but I spend more time with my phone than with my husband:) Did you know that most people check their phones 150 every single day. That's a lot! So do yourself a favor. When you work, just turn it off! I am sure he will forgive you!
Read Your Email Once a Day.
I admit it. I was addicted to checking my email dozen times a day.
But hey, I have recovered! Want to know my secret?
Here is what I do. It's simple. I open my email only after work! That's all!
So if you are in the same situation, try my method. It works great!
Turn Off Your Television
Even though I am a responsible adult, I still feel like a child! When the TV is on, I often find myself running to the TV if I hear something that grabs my attention.
Yes, that's my weakest quality:) If you want my two cents, don't even bother turning on your TV!
Set an End Time
When I am not in a rush to do something, then I become less productive. I spend more time procrastinating and do much less than I should. I've read somewhere that setting a specific end time to my day will help accomplish my work. Which I did, and it works great!
Everyone has its own way to manage her/himself. I am curious to know What is yours?
