Don’t let the internet kill your productivity

The Problem: Getting sidetracked by checking email or your favorite websites.

The Solution: When it’s time to get some serious work done, take some deep breaths, give yourself a big hug and…disconnect from the internet. If possible, unplug your router or your ethernet cord and put them in another room so you have to stand up and do something physically to get back online.

How it works: You’re putting an obstacle between yourself and distraction. When distractions can’t “sneak up on you” you feel more in control of your work. Later, when you do waste a little time online, you’ll actually enjoy it MORE because it was a choice.

Unplug and be free!

    Yes definitely! you should put all your ideas into a book! in fact i like your ideas cus they’re actually realistic, light-hearted and accomplishable. unlike essay-styled books which are quite hard to read, the step-by-step guide in your site actually works for me:)

    Oh yeah this is good. I am thankful to say I have not been on that addictive Facebook for two days now and I am getting more done, although, I still am retraining myself away from procrastination.
