To stay productive, I stick to a routine and set goals for myself every day. How do you stay productive?

A routine is very important when you have your own business at home. I also view my business like a job. Meaning that I get up at a certain time every day and start my day, take breaks, take lunch, and call it quits at a decent hour. I try to call it quits at a decent hour but it is hard to find a stopping point.

I fully agree with you, gridellas. Working at home makes the line blur. If you are doing something that you really enjoy, it's tough for you to just stop like that!
For me, having a daily routine is important in order to stay focus on my business. Equally important is to set daily goal in order to accomplish your long term target.

yes, you do need a routine and to stay focus. Treat it like a job. But the big difference: "It's your Dream Job" what more I can say

To stay productive means you work your business every single day until...
Time and time again I see home business owners who fall short on themselves by not THINKING like an entrepreneur.
You need to:
*** Stick to your daily schedule.
*** Start with the hardest tasks first and work toward the easiest.
*** Keep motivated by association with fellow entrepreneurs and POSITIVE minded people.
*** Not be afraid of failure, because only through failing will you eventually reach success!
*** Be true to yourself.
*** Not give up on your dreams.
*** Aim to be the best you can each day.
Business success is very much possible if you stick with your schedule and plan for it long term. In the least you want to use three forms of lead generation for a full 90 days. Even though this might sound old-fashioned mlm it certainly isn't because it is working for me and my friends.
The more you think, breathe and live your business, the sooner you will see results.
Be wealthy.

Too often I get sucked in to my work at home! There's always something that could be tweaked or improved etc...
I agree that establishing a routine is very important - it does make you more efficient and it makes you more fun too!
Working at home basically means being on my own for periods of time. One thing I've really noticed is that when I go out to meet friends, I always come back home with a huge buzz.
Getting away from it all and having a good time with other people and talking about everything else but work makes a huge difference.
AND I have some of my best ideas for the home business when I'm relaxed and sitting on the train home or even as a tangent to a random conversation with a buddy.
So in summary, to stay productive just walk away and catch up with your friends!
Sounds hard, doesn't it?!
Good luck with the productivity!

Best way to stay productive is to stay organized and always remember your goals. Remember why you are working and what you want to acheive in life and you will make sure you work hard enough to acheive those goals

Maybe it's just me but I stay productive because I really love working on an online business. I love the new challenges each day. This keeps me looking forward to the next day and the next challenge. This might sound strange to some but that's what makes me productive.

Hi payment proof,
Great tips in this thread.
I have a passion for technology and making money online. It's a hobby and a job.
I also value the chance to make money from my home and to be my own boss. I hate the corporate environment or anything that feels institutional. I'm knowledgeable, skilled, and experienced at the trade so it's a pleasurable activity for me.
Good daily planning and quality focus are helping factors.
Task variety is a helping factor.
I make sure I take several breaks to watch TV, run errands, do chores, exercise, and socialize lightly.
By the end of the day I've completed a ton of biz related work, taken care of things on the home front, had some human contact, and gotten my exercise.
Learn to strike the balance.
Productivity can be fun and fulfilling :)

One thing that helps me stay productive is
having a good to do list. There are so many
things to do, especially with on-line marketing
that I can get totally unfocused and spend
time doing the busy, "unproductive" type of
things instead of the productive (activities that
can make me money online).
By having a list and seeing what is crossed off
at the end of the day I can immediately tell if I have
had a productive day or not.
