2 Tips for Avoiding Distractions
When you work at home distractions come easily. They can be anything from the television to a game on Facebook. The more distractions you give in to the less you’ll get done with your business. The less you get done the less money you make and that can hurt your pocket book.
Avoiding the distractions that come you way are a must in order to have and continue to have success with your business. There are many things you can do to avoid the distractions and each one will work, but you must put the extra foot forward to make it happen.
One of my worst distractions is the television. So what I do to avoid it is sit in my office where I only have a radio. The radio is not a distraction so I’m ok when it’s on, but the TV on the other hand is huge. I have found when I eliminate it, I do much better.
The other distraction I have is Facebook and Twitter. No matter how hard I try when I get on those two sites I can find my several on there for hours. That’s not good when you’re working your business so you can bring an income in to support your family. So I completely close the two sites down. That way I don’t see them in my tabs and I don’t feel the need to visit them.
If you find you have distractions that are preventing you from growing your business and reaching success, find a way to get rid of them. Try different things until you find the thing that works the best and then stick to it. Continually remind yourself the reason you must avoid the distraction and then at the end of your day reward yourself for making it happen.

I also work from home and find myself getting distracted every now and then. It really doesn’t help that my apartment is small and the television set is in the same room as my computer and bed. I think I’ll try the radio method instead. Thanks!
