 Watch out for distractions- there will be many that are self-imposed= getting a snack, “finding” other things to do, tidying up, “researching” the internet or social media- these will all suck the time and life from you.

Telling yourself you will be efficient is not enough- this only engages your  pre-frontal cortex part of your brain. In fact none of these working from home tips will work for you if you do not follow through with action! To actually create a habit and discipline you need to engage your basal ganglia

  How?

1.       Reward yourself for sticking to the routine/deadlines and getting things done.
2.       Get a kick from making a deal with yourself and stick to the deal.
3.       Surround yourself with cues/triggers. Using a timer is one way, sticking inspirational quotes on your mirror, pictures of your goals, listening to music that motivates you etc...and then repeat, repeat, repeat
4.       Remove all cues that distract you. Physical objects, New messages alert tones, pop-ups, your pet etc  repeat repeat repeat
5.       Engage someone to keep you on track: Flate mate, Partner, Effectiveness Coach
6.       Self- reflection and change what isn’t working for you
7.       Build yourself up for success! Don’t just think about it, Act on it.
