Puzzled by how food, e-mails, and working all the time can be a distractor? Take a look at the next 3 distractions.
6. Food/Snacking
Because the kitchen is right outside of your door, food becomes another well-known distraction. The temptation to snack or cravings nag at you. However, as the health professionals recommend, if you eat small frequent meals during the day, it will help to curb the temptation to snack and helps the cravings. Don’t over-indulge. Set boundaries for yourself of when you will eat and how much and you will be doing great things for your weight, your health, and your business too.
7. Emails
E-mail marketing is great for businesses. However, if you do not have a separate business e-mail account from your personal e-mail account, or if you have not filtered your work from your personal, then you are getting distracted and ignoring the business e-mails which, right now, during work hours, have higher priority. Although merging e-mail accounts are available through Google, it is recommended that you keep them segregated for the sake of your business.
8. Working All The Time/Time Management
A problem that entrepreneurs face is that they do not have a set time for work hours, therefore, they work all the time, 24/7. Although tempted during family time to check site traffic or business e-mails, set boundaries for yourself between business and domestic life. When working, give yourself completely to work. When spending time with the family, give yourself completely over to spending that quality time with your family. Everyone will be happier for it. Everyone needs a life outside of work; work all the time and you will burnout quickly and your family life will suffer. Work smarter then you will be efficient and successful and on-going in business and family life.
We can overcome these things in life only if we see them for what they are and change our state of mind. It is important to Decide-Act-Change. If you continue to do the same things that you always do, you will continue to get the same results. Join me Friday as we cover Family, Friends, and Procrastination as a part of "Distractions" Adios!
