I’ve found a new way to look at my working environment. I work at home… about 2 feet away from my wonderfully comfortable Ikea bed, with pillows, sheets, duvet, etc… So sometimes I find it hard to focus on work (and even sometimes getting out of bed).
The last week or two, i’ve adopted a new work guideline… Its pretty simple.. here goes..
“Get as much work done as possible before 10am”
I’ve found that I work incredibly well between the hours of 7am and 10am. Strange but true. Maybe its cuz later in the day I start to think about all the things I want to accomplish or even just the distractions of lunch time (yum), or even just going for an afternoon bike ride or walk. Getting a good amount of work done between 7am and 10am leaves me feeling happy that I got up, and gives me a solid base for the rest of the day. It makes me feel like i’ve accomplished something instead of sitting around like a bum.
Do you have any personal guidelines that you follow that make your work more productive?
