With the development of the Internet, people in some professions have a wonderful opportunity to become a freelancer - to work from home, receiving assignments and sending them to the employer as they are completed. Employers themselves are happy to do this, because in this case they do not need to equip workplaces, which allows significant savings. Employees love this too - you work on a free schedule and save a lot of time by not wasting it on the way to work and back. But the problem arises - how to make yourself work?
Instructions
Step 1
Motivation is a great thing. You can work productively only when you clearly and clearly know how and what you need to do, the scope and timing of the upcoming work. In addition, you should know why you need to perform it and what result, including monetary, you will get. This result will be your incentive.
Step 2
Schedule your work according to how productive you can be during the day. For some, this time is in the morning, while others work more efficiently in the evenings. It makes a lot of sense that you force yourself to sit down at the computer and work, there is no - the performance will be negligible.
Step 3
As a rule, a freelancer works on several projects at the same time. If so, learn to determine how many hours a day should be allocated to work and stick to the set schedule. After you schedule five hours of work in the morning, do that much. The main thing here is that one's own settings are strictly observed, then it will become a habit.
Step 4
The most difficult thing in the work of a freelancer, whose computer has constant and uncontrolled access to the Internet, is to avoid temptations and prohibit yourself from surfing sites in search of news, communication and other interesting things that the "world wide web" is full of. Of course, you can take a coffee or tea break after reading the news, but forbid yourself to go to social networks until the planned amount of work is done.
Step 5
It is more convenient and useful to divide your work schedule into two or three parts. Doing household chores, sleeping, or going for a walk can help your brain relax and switch to lighter tasks. After that, recharged with energy, return to your workplace again.
Step 6
Educate friends and family. Explain to them that working from home doesn't mean you can be distracted at any time. Make them aware of your work schedule and schedule hours when they can only talk to you in an emergency. Not right away, of course, but they will get used to it. If possible, limit communication during work and with your family members.
Step 7
Make it a rule not to leave unfulfilled for tomorrow and do not stop working until everything scheduled for the day is done. If this becomes a habit, you will be your own strictest controller.
