1. Set daily goals. Without clear focus, it's too easy to buckle under to distractions. Set targets for every day beforehand. Decide what you will do, then DO IT.
2. Set no communication times. Apportion uninterrupted blocks of time for work where you must focus. During these times do not answer the phone, emails, or social media.
3. Set micro-mileposts. When you start a task determine the target you must reach before stopping. For instance, when working on a book, you may decide not to get up until you have written at least a thousand words. Hit your target regardless what.
4. Dreaded first. To shoot down procrastination learn to undertake your most obnoxious task first thing in the morning rather than delaying it till later in the day. This little triumph will set the tone for a really productive day.
5. Bust procrastination. Take action instantly after setting a goal, even if the action isn't perfectly planned. You are able to always correct course along the way.
6. Time framing. Give yourself a fixed period of time, like half-hour, to make a dent in a job. Don't worry about how far you get. Simply put in the time.
7. Apex Cycles of Productiveness. Identify your most productive time of the day and schedule your most crucial jobs for those times. Work at minor or menial tasks during your non-peak times.
8. Change your hours. If you find too many interruptions and distractions in normal working hours change your hours to start earlier and finish earlier or to start later and finish later.
9. Clear the clutter. Cut down on stress by cultivating a relaxing, clutter-free workspace.
10. Accountability. Tell other people of your commitments, they will help hold you accountable.
11. Visualize. Visualize your goals as already achieved. Put yourself into a state of actually being there. Make it actual in your mind, and you will soon see it in your reality.
12. Reward yourself. Give yourself frequent rewards for accomplishments.
