Managing your time is of the utmost im-portance when working from home. While distractions may be considerable in an of-fice environment, they are also prevalent at home. It is easy to get caught up in doing the laundry, cooking dinner and watching TV so it’s important that you are actual-ly working during work hours. We are not saying you shouldn’t take a break every so often where these chores can be accom-plished, in fact we encourage it, but rath-er don’t make it a habit and spend three hours cooking an elaborate meal for your spouse. If you are meant to be making calls from 9-11, make the calls, don’t procrasti-

Create a Schedule for Yourself

nate. It is also important that you determine which hours you are most productive. If you are a morning person, use these hours to perform your most critical, thought-in-tensive tasks and use the time later in the day to follow-up on email or undertake any research assignments you may need to ac-complish. Create your daily schedule and then follow it to the best of your ability. Life happens, crises occur, just don’t let them throw you off. If you need to, find a suit-able time management system. Making a schedule and sticking to it will reduce your stress level and keep you more motivated. Productivity breeds more productivity.

Working from home is a trend on the rise. For those in the network marketing industry, it is not just a trend but rather a way of life. How many times has someone said to you, “I could never do that”? We understand that working from home requires a certain level of discipline but, if hand-led properly, it can be a rewarding and produc-tive lifestyle. We know this already, right? Being successful network marketers we know it works. It can definitely prove to be a better option than arriving at an office daily, being accountable to a boss who is constantly looking at their watch and enjoying the solitude of not being interrupted by the water cooler conversation. Creating discipli-ne, staying motivated and productive when wor-king from home can prove challenging to some but it can easily be mastered by implementing the following routines into your life.

We all know that exercise reduces stress but it also helps you become more produc-tive. When working from home we become sedentary. Exercise allows us to get our juices flowing, gives us some time away from the phone or computer to think and clear our heads. Exercise provides a boost of energy, which will ultimately make you more productive. One of the benefits of working from home is that we have great-er flexibility. Instead of a lunch hour in an office, build into your schedule 30 minutes to go to the gym or for a run. You’ll be glad you did and some fresh air will do you the world of good. Furthermore, switch-up your schedule every once in a while for a change of scenery, try working from your local library or coffee shop.

Nowhere is it written that you can only cel-ebrate when something major happens. In fact, it is healthy and productive, not to mention, great for your self-esteem, to rec-ognize and celebrate small achievements. Did you just register a new team member? Was the webinar you just participated on a success? Since no one else is around to compliment you, reward and celebrate yourself. Set a healthy baseline for your-self and then celebrate when you reach or exceed it. Share your success or achieve-ment on social media, call your family, eat

Reward Yourself and Celebrate Success

your favorite snack… Recognize, reward and celebrate your achievements. Most importantly, don’t forget to recognize and celebrate your team members who achieve important milestones. Positive feedback and praise go a long way in keeping your work team motivated. When giving feed-back, make sure you are informational and specific in nature; tell them exactly what they did well so as to encourage repeat be-havior. Rewards and celebrations will keep you positive and motivated to get up and do it again tomorrow.

The concept of JFK’s inaugural speech, which has also been used by the likes of Jim Rohn and Zig Zigler, relates to service. The more people you help, the greater life rewards you in return. Bottom line: build service into your daily life. The richest expe-rience in our lives is not from receiving vali-dation from others but more so when we are doing something that matters, and doing it well and in service of others. It doesn’t mat-ter if it’s helping a team member build their organization, providing training or talking to a new customer about how the DubLi.com platform will save their family money – serv-ing the greater good will benefit you. How does this make you more motivated or pos-itive? It’s simple; it feels good to help others. If this service to others also benefits you fi-nancially; all the better. At least you’ve done something you can feel good about that is productive and beneficial. Some would call this “karma” but it works, give it a try.
