It’s difficult to be productive when you work at home. Sometimes, you are busy all day and don't make any progress on important work.
Some people tell themselves to “Try harder!” or blame themselves for not achieving enough. Other people work with a long to-do list and try to do many tasks at the same time. But these solutions aren’t helpful.
Instead, you should do this:
- Write a long to-do list.
- Choose one task from that list. If you choose something big, break it into smaller tasks.
- Put away your long list. Don’t look at it again until you’ve finished your first task.
After you’ve finished the task, cross it off the long list, and choose another one.
You will be more productive if you follow this method.
