4 Tips to Double Your Online Productivity

Developing a prosperous online business has a price!! Still, this doesn't mean that you always have to sacrifice something, but rather to get the capacity to think & act efficiently.

More specifically,to be efficient means to use all the resources you have in the best way you can..Your home business is like travelling on a new road. This "trip" consists of time, energy, new skills and money.

A very important resource available is TIME. How you use it decides your results. Also, how we spend every day influences our business's quality .

As a result of my past experiences I have synthesized 4 tips to double your online productivity:

1.Define targets and an plan of action

Without goals you are like a ship that floats without direction! You don't know where to go. Not likely to get where you want!Set practical goals with deadlines for any of them. After that, divide them into smaller tasks: daily and weekly.

The objectives succeed only when they are introduced into a plan of action. Ussually, I write in my agenda every day,the priorities and then the things that can delayed.

Clearly,there are interruptions that you can't eliminate. However,do your best to respect your schedule ,to persevere and make improvements to it.

Another thing that I made several times was to begin a task and then begin another one. It's a big waste of time because you don't complete none on time without doing something valuable. The best solution is to create routines regardless of what you do: writing articles,prospecting,commenting on other blogs and etc.

2. Prevent interruptions and distractions at any cost.

This is the first enemy of your online productivity. First there are the distractions generated by others: family, friends, phone calls, etc. After that ,there are those caused by yourself.

When you start out a task bear in mind that you are 100% involved to complete it. I'm not saying you should not do anything at all besides business but don't allow anything have an effect on you: invitations to a cocktail, parties, chatting on facebook, surfing on some websites for nothing,watching tv or checking emails. This way your energy is wasted on unimportant things and the results are- actually zero-

3.Totally focus on what's actually important

Working an online MLM business requires three types of activities: lead generation, prospecting and understanding new marketing skills. Make sure that you invest time in all of them.

For the first task you can write an article, a blogpost,shoot a video etc. and at the second you can contact your leads or prospect on Facebook.

For learning new stuff I make time for about one hour every day. It is important to have fresh information that you can implement immediately. By doing this,your online productivity will grow each day.

4. Take care of yourself

The productivity also is dependent on a rational lifestyle. If you work 19 hours from 24 do you think this will bring you more money? Absolutely no!

Your prosperity lies in a healthy life first of all. Don't forget,work smarter not harder!

Take some time for sport , eating, resting and especially for your MIND. 30 minutes of physical exercises are very good! You will be filled with energy,fresh and completely ready for business.This thing actually gets results!I apply it myself!

Drink lots of fluids for hydration and eat as healthy as possible. NO FAST FOOD

Last but not least rest well and protect your mind because everything you see in your life comes from there. Personal development is something that every leader looks after.30 minutes a day are enough for you to cultivate a mindset that will drive you to success.

These are the four tips which will grow your online productivity if you implement them constantly.

5 Ways to Get Nothing Done

With rare exceptions, everybody wants to be productive. It means advancing your career, feeling a sense of accomplishment and even opens the opportunity for guilt-free vacations and rest. There are plenty of ways to circumvent your own productivity, though. If you’re bent on sabotaging your todo list, here are a few options to consider.

Set Alarms for Everything

When it comes to distraction, there’s nothing like having alarms go off while you’re working, urging you to do something else. It’s a great way to break your concentration and ensure that you have a persistent feeling of panic throughout the day.
Alarms are for events you can’t miss, not for tasks. The Pomodoro technique may be an exception if you’re using it to eliminate anxiety instead of create it. For everyday work, though, I’ve found it’s important to train myself to check my schedule consciously, and allow myself to dictate any anxiety surrounding due dates. Chances are you’re not going to forget the looming task due by the end of the day, and having your next task ding at you isn’t going to help get either one done.

Be Social

We all need a break now and then. Check Twitter, scan Facebook, and maybe fire off a few emails and texts to see how friends are doing. Keeping all of those outlets available all day is a guaranteed way to ensure that you’re never fully focused on what you’re doing. Chat rooms and IM are even better; it’s like a water cooler that comes to you.
When it’s time to work, shut off your Twitter client, turn off notifications on your mobile devices and close all those browser tabs that are going to tempt you into just “checking.” Go “dark” wherever you can. It seems obvious, yes, but I’m betting that I’m not alone in wavering on this.

Lump Your Tasks Together

If you want to end a day feeling like you accomplished nothing, make sure that all of the items on your to do list are “big picture” projects. Overarching concepts with no sequential set of smaller tasks are a perfect way to make any job seem overwhelming.
If, instead, you want to make progress and see results, you might want to break that “year end report” task into a series of smaller tasks that you can actually tackle. Mark them off one at a time, and keep moving forward. At the end of the day you’ll be rewarded by a series of checkmarks and an easy way to see how far you have (or don’t have) to go to finish the project.

Say “Yes” to Everything

If you say “yes” whenever someone asks you if you can “fit it in” or help out with something, you’ll easily ensure that you don’t get done what you already need to, with the added bonus of not helping anybody out successfully.
If you’re a little more thoughtful with what you agree to, you can keep life manageable and, ultimately, get more done. Remember, saying “yes” to one thing means saying “no” to something else, and vice versa.
Being constantly busy is not a sign of productivity. Being able to finish what’s on your plate and take a break is.

Don’t Sleep

Working all night to finish a project can accomplish great things. For me, even the next day is productive. Then, I lose two, maybe three days of productivity as my body and brain crash and struggle to catch up. Assuming that your life is a series of tasks and not one big, end-all job, maintaining a sleep schedule and finding a healthy equilibrium is vital to actually doing anything.
Set a bedtime. It doesn’t have to be strict, but let your mind stop for a while. Learning to clear my mind at the end of a busy day is a skill I honed, and I have no regrets. More often than not, my mind solves problems that were slowing me down while I sleep. Letting your subconscious do some of the lifting can help your conscious thoughts be even more productive.
