Disciplined

[Julie Thompson]

Hello,

I work from home and have a set schedule, i always break my to do tasks down into manageable tasks.

Some days i get really tired and just cant seem to stay disciplined. I go for a walk, come home and go on my phone, i cannot seem to push myself. What do you people do to increase your discipline please anything in particular? This would help me out if you could answer, thank you.

I usually buy coffee beans and grind as I need and also hop about from one to another.

Currently trying Brown Bear Mambo Italiano Coffee. I like to abuse my Amazon Prime subscription.

I'm sure others will have better suggestions.

Music.

If I've got a report to do or load of desk time ahead of me, I get my headphones (nothing fancy), find a play list online via YouTube, my own music or via a streaming app, and plug in. I religiously have two mugs of strong coffee in the am and this keeps me going. Oh, and drink lots of water throughout the day too. I find that helps with my general feeling and aids my run or cycle in the evenings.

If you are struggling badly to concentrate, do something else - even watch TV for 30 mins, then re-engage with the task at hand.

I often think of the alternative of working in a horrible office like I used to do years ago and this normally keeps my in check.

Finally, sit at your desk or workstation with purpose. Don't approach it thinking you can't do it, are too tired, can't concentrate - tell yourself what you are about to do and be firm and positive. That alone might help more than anything.
