3 Ideas to Increase Focus and Productivity While Working from Home

2008-Jun-21 09:47

Step 1: Create a separate login account on your PC for work

I've just created a separate login account on my PC called "elijahlofgren-work".

Don't put any shortcuts on your desktop that don't relate to work. ;)

Step 2: Create a separate Gmail and Google Docs account

I've just created a separate email address and Google Docs account: work at elijahlofgren.com using Google Apps.

Gmail and google docs example

Step 3: Block Facebook and Myspace (and any other sites you get distracted by) using the BlockSite Firefox extension

Finally

Be productive! Be more focussed and finish your work faster so that you can more spend time on important things like reading good books, spending time with family and more! :)

    THEY DIDN'T WORK! ;)

    I still got massively distracted.

    So these were just ideas, that didn't work out too well. ;)

    And then when you stop working, log into your other account. :)

    I hope to get some website work for a client done today that I've been slow about getting done. I think this will help me get it done faster if I limit opportunities for distractions. ;)
