2. Have a designated work area

While it can be awesome to work on your business while lounging around the pool, or watching television with the kids, you are not going to be very productive.

Sure, it can be nice to do that to catch up on a few things, but when you are scheduled to work, you need a designated study or room to work in so that you are not distracted.

I have my own office and my family knows that when the door is shut that I’m working, and I need to be left alone and not disturbed.

It is important to have your family on board.

It is also important that you don’t have any distractions in there either, such as your phone, and even having Facebook open and alerts popping up as you’re trying to do your work.
