My Desk

Most of the people on earth need to work.  Be it in a field cultivating crops or behind a desk in an office. Some of us may be able to work from home and in hindsight, this may seem like a dream come true, but it can also be incredibly difficult.  You need to constantly stay motivated to do the work that needs to be done and there are many distractions that can take you away from this.  You do not have a manager or superior overlooking what needs to be; there are distractions at home that are not in a normal office space and these elements can affect your motivation and productivity.  In this interesting and informative article, we take a look at ways to stay motivated at work when you are working in a home environment.

Tips To Help Stay Motivated

Limit all distractions

The dreaded distractions that keep us from motivation are even more prevalent when someone works from home and they need to be eliminated.  Your constantly ringing and beeping phone, Facebook, Twitter and email alerts are just some of the distractions.  To stay motivated, one of the best tips is to eliminate those distractions by putting your phone on silent or switching it off and switching off your email alerts.  There is a way to monitor the amount of time you are spending on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.  Evaluate the time at the end of the day and you can see if it is having an impact on work.  Another way to stay focused at work is to have a separate working area from the rest of the house.  House calls, visitors, and children may be major distractions and if you have decided to work from home then you need to set priorities.

Targets and goals

One of the best ways to stay motivated at work is to set goals and targets for yourself.  You need to know what you want to achieve both personally and professionally.  Set realistic goals of the work that you want to get done and the dedicated time frame, be it daily, weekly, or monthly.  Keep track of your goals and targets as this will keep you on track with what you have achieved and what you still need to.

Your work space

If you have decided to work from home, then you would have already thought about an office; if you are lucky enough you will have an office, or a dedicated work space.  To stay motivated while working at home, one of the best tips is to have a dedicated work space in which you feel comfortable in and have all of the essentials you need.
