Work when You work...
Time is one
of the most valuable resources you have. I think it’s true for everybody! How
and where you spend your time determines the quality of your life. And you need
to get control over your time.
Especially as I started my Internet Business in spare time, I have to rethink how I spend the very little time I have left for me most effectively. It can be done, because everybody on the planet has the same amount time. And there are people who can do their stuff every day.
In my
previous article I started to discuss the possibility to make more time for
your family or business. This was the first rule: Do less!
Now lets
see the next two rules!
When You Work, You Work!
It seems
easy, isn’t it? Ok, keep on reading. J
Make sure
that when you work you don’t get interrupted. And you also don’t get
distracted, by phone, Facebook, Twitter. You don’t have a TV running, do you?
Build your
own office, even a home-office. This is not a real office in the other side of
the town, just a place in your home, where you can work. A silent part of a
room or anything else. And do not make your kitchen table your office. (You
will naturally get interrupted).
It takes a
little self-discipline to fight procrastination. But the best you can do is still to do
the right thing and have a purposeful direction. Then you don’t need to
discipline yourself, simply because you want to do it.
Don’t do
anything else then work at your working time. Simply refuse to do something
else and rather make your working time more compact. But when you work, you
work.
When You Don’t Work, You Don’t.
If you
spend your time with family and friends, or all by yourself maybe reading, get
work out of your sight. You have to renew yourself. This cycle of balance will
make sure that when you come back to work, you are fresh and have energy again.
You need relaxation every day if you want to make your business.
This can be
a challenge because you have to let go of your thoughts after work. And the
best way I know of is if you have used your work-time most effectively and are
pleased with your personal results. Then you are looking forward to your
no-work time, smiling.
And the
most important: Not just read about it! Do it!
