Procrastination
Hi, guys!
I am going to ask you some advices. There are a lot of adult people, some of them have an extensive experience in work.. If you are the same age of me (22), maybe you had (or have) similat problems, as me. So, we can share an experience!
Last year after graduation from the university, I started to rent the flat and live an "adult life". I dont have to study anymore, I have a job, I need to earn some money.
Thankfully, I found an excellent job opportunity - I am some sort of business developer in two different budding companies. There is only one ongoing associate and partner. We get on very well.
So, I dont have usual office timetable, no need to be in the office and no regular control of my tasks. As always, there are two sides of the one coin... So, I struggle against laziness and procrastination every day! It`s hard for me to concentrate on working tasks, when I am at home. I start to surf the Internet, to clean the flat or to chat with every single person in surroundings.
Do you have any similar troubles?
Did you cope with it?
If yes, how?
Thank you in advance!

I found the Pomotodo technique helpful, and I guess the Getting things done method can also help with structure.

Hi!
Well, I think this problem is quite familiar to me.
When you are self-employed or work for some company but it's a work from home job, it is extremely difficult to get your act together. You always get distracted by some other things and put off something which is urgent and important.
Actually, to overcome this I do a very simple thing every day. Before going to bed I make a "to do list" of what I want to accomplish the next day. Then, I start every single morning with reading it and when something has been done I tick it on the list. In the evening, before making another "to do list", I read the previous one to see if my day has been productive. All the tasks, that haven't been finished by some reasons, are written down first on the new list.
At first, it seemd to be immpossible to start every day like this, but finally I got used to it and now I manage to do much more things during the day.
