Establish a Target

Devise a Plan

As previously mentioned the internet environment offers distractions of all sorts and if you turn on your computer without having a definite plan of action you'll fall victim to them! Having a goal and knowing EXACTLY what actions are needed to reach it serves as a guide to help you avoid being sucked up into 'vortex' of the online world where minutes turn to hours! Wasting time like this will certainly diminish your work productivity and minimize your chances to succeed!

Prioritize

Dissect your plan to determine what tasks are the most important and will get you closer to obtaining your objectives! It is these tasks you must stay focused on and should be your primary concern! Once completed you can then shift your efforts to the less important yet necessary other actions you still need to take! By prioritizing the most important components of any plan, you can accomplish these tasks first while your energy level is at the highest thus investing a good quality effort and improving your work productivity!
