1. Set Various Aims
It will not matter what nature of business you are doing, if you set yourself a few targets, you have something to work towards.
For me, taking part in an article writing challenge really started me off article writing so I set the objective of completing the task. This was a undertaking that I knew I needed to get mixed up with and had tried hard to start writing regularly, but when I saw the challenge to write and distribute 100 articles in 100 days I decided to have a go at it. It really motivated me to work hard, and I fulfilled the challenge in less than half the time, plus ended up almost addicted to the process, which is breathtaking. I now write a few articles every day, which is a real business benefit.
2. Take A Break
Working from home is not all round sitting down at the computer at 8:00 in the morning and working through to midnight. Find something in the daily routine that will break up the hours of working. For me, it is going out for a run or a bicycle ride.
On a larger scale, allocate a few time each week for a time out. I have a regular lunchtime trip out with my wife each week, something we might not do in full time employment. Plus on another day we pop down to the driving range and hit some balls. This is both exceptional time together, on our own, and a high point of the end of the week that I can look ahead to.
3. Write Up Targets
Long term, write up what you want to realize. Maybe you want more customers, more sales, a regular amount of article writing. Write this up as a number of form of chart and then start marking off your progress. I always find that once I can get ahead of a objective I love the feeling of over achieving it and it motivates me to keep ahead. You also then pull off the goals that you have set along the way.
4. Create A task List
Especially when work gets busy, this one focuses me on what needs to be done and getting it all done. I will write down a list of jobs that I need to do and then look through the selection. Which are the smallest jobs? Which can be completed quickly and easily, without much time away from the rest? Jump between these jobs and get as a lot of small tasks out of the way as quickly as potential. It is breathtaking fun to see the list getting crossed out. Doing this, I will even write up small tasks that I know I will get done in minutes, just so that I get to cross them off.
If you have too much work to do this can be a really good motivation to focus on what needs to be completed and prioritise to get people off your back the quickest.
