I run my business out of my house. And as a writer/marketer/entrepreneur, I'm in a very enviable position. I don't have any distractions at home - no wife, no kids, no pets...no distractions at all.
Now before anyone gets upset with me, I'm not knocking any of those things. And if you have a wife, kids and pets, I'm sure you love them to death, and don't consider them distractions.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is I get a tremendous amount of work done during the course of the day, because there isn't anyone or anything around to interrupt my work flow or break my concentration.
In other words, I have plenty of private time to get things done. And having this private time does wonders for my attitude.
What about you? How much private time do you have during the course of the day to get things done?
Is your office in a private area of your house, or in your living room? Believe it or not, having privacy does make a difference. And if you aren't getting as much work done as you should, perhaps it's because there are too many things interrupting you - distracting you.
So what's the solution?
The solution is you have to create some privacy for yourself. If you don't have a private office, do you at least have an attic or basement where you can go to be alone for a little while during the course of the day?
If you don't have that option, go to the library. It's nice and quiet at the library, and there are conference rooms, reference areas, etc. that will afford you all the privacy you need. They even have computers.
If you aren't getting as much work done as you should, you should at least think about what I said. A little privacy will do wonders for your attitude!
