Have you ever thought how you spent your Day ?

Working from home , is not always easy . There are many distractions. Have you calculated ,how many hours a day you are productive and focused , and how many times you are distracted .

Work with a system ...

Identify 3 tasks every day that are most crucial for the day .

Write them down ,and do them first . Time yourself every 30 min. Be aware what distracts you .

Ask yourself

:• Why do you want to be effective?

• What is my goal for today ?

Close all browser windows , put the phone on silence and start focusing on the first task . Time how long you need to full fill this task .

when you are finish start with task two , and than task three . If you need a break in between DON'T.....finish your 3 task first , than take a break .

Having achieved to finish the 3 major task each day , is a big step in the right direction.

Ask yourself what categories the 3 task fit in

TACTICAL: Is this a recurring task? ( am i be able to pay someone to do this task )

STRATEGIC: Is this creating a system or process? Can this build relationships or networks? Is this building a solid future for you?

ACTION ITEM: Write down “TACTICAL” or “STRATEGIC” next to each activity

-Don't allow unimportant things drag you down and draw your attention.

-Time spent browsing Twitter /Facebook , gaming or watching TV and movies can be one of the biggest drains on productivity. ( Time moves fast )

- Put a time limit on your task , don't sit down and think I will finish this today . (Think I will take 2 hours for this task )

- Don't overwhelm yourself when you think of your" To do List"

- - start with a small list and grow the list day by day ( you will be amazed how efficient you can become)

- Make it a Ritual to cross out the things done for that day on your list in the evening , it feels good ....by the end of the day .... you are productive ....

Thanks for this. Need to remember this as well.

I had never thought of closing down all browser windows or tabs that aren't part of the task at hand. But, they can be tempting for a distraction. Thanks for this tip. I will do this in the future. It is important to keep on track every day!

Good plan and measuring if acchieved at the end of the day. Excellent.
Cheers Sylivia.

Great "Time Management Tips"! Thank you!

So true. personally I gave up TV about 1.5 years ago, mostly. I still watch about 2 hours a month if that. I am having less luck staying off the social medias. Thanks again Spurway

Nice post.

Listbuilding can be a very useful exercise but focus is the key.
