Working without interruptions is something I believe we all struggle with. Most are all working from home now. Need to find a way to have no interruptions.
Now you need to figure out what are the interruptions that stop you from working. Make a list, so you can figure it out right away. Now how to get it so no one or anything bothers you when you are working.
This may be something where you may want to make a mind map. Go research it and see what it is all about. I know I am. But basically, you are starting with a problem, and then branch out how you will solve that problem or issue. Or even a goal, how you will get there. Need to do some brainstorming on what you need to do.
Even schedule out your day, on what you need to get done. How?? What is the time frame for getting it all done?? Do this to make things happen and to accomplish lots in your day. Break it all down so you can get this all done and allow for no distractions in your day. I know for me I find it hard to avoid the distractions. My son comes in and I don’t tell him I’m busy, but I stop and watch what he wants to show me. Even when others stop me and want to talk to me, not important stuff. But I allow it to interrupt me on my work that I am doing. This is when a schedule usually helps me to get things done.
Knowing exactly what I need to do and when. I am starting to tell them don’t bother me during this time. Cause I have a schedule to follow and get my stuff done.
Working Without Interuptions-No distractions!
Now there are many things that can be a distraction. How about checking in on Facebook. Or even just seeing a video on YouTube, and getting caught up in that. Cause the videos that pop up after you watch one, seems to get you clicking on one. Before you know it, you have lost an hour or two of your time. Without even realizing it. Now we don’t need that happening.
I know I love playing some random games, every once in a while. But I remind myself that these are not making me any money. They are a distraction and getting me away from what is my priority.

Now back to distractions- No Interruptions
What are some of the distractions you can think of??
- Facebook, is one that gets many people
- Tv Shows, or soap operas, to be specific
- phone calls
- text messages
- other family members
- kids
- friends
- even video games if you play them.
- or computer games
- games on the iPad
- house work(dishes,laundry etc..)
- to-do list- so much to do and not enough time
There are so many distractions, maybe you can think of some of your own. But these are some that get to me. Most of them I have dealt with.
Working Without Interruptions & get Housework Done
Now, I seem to be more productive early in the morning. For my household chores that need to get done. So I clean my bathroom first thing in the morning. Then I go for my walk.
My rest of my housework is saved for the afternoon. When the kids are here and when my phone always seems to want to ring. But of course this time always changes. It depends on what I need to get done. But now and days, I seem to have most of my energy in the morning. So I started to get my cleaning all finished each morning. When I have the most energy and I will get it done faster. Works great for me now, and I am more productive throughout the day.
I have figured out that Monday is my best day to get some baking done. And sometimes this is my soup day and I make biscuits for dinner. Banana bread for breakfast or a cake for dessert, or I will just bake cookies for the kids. I always love baking, but sometimes my back don’t like it too much. Get sore half way through the day. But at least we have some goodies after I am done.
Working Without Interruptions
So believe me, you can get alot done in one day. Plan for it all, and you will get it done. Working without interruptions is very possible. Just need to figure out what your distractions are and figure out how to deal with them. I do remember when I got baking and my cleaning and my walk in, all in one day. Even did a bunch of laundry and hung it out and worked on my business too. I was surprised and you know how I did it all, was by time blocking my whole day.
Dealing With Distractions
Now my distractions, well to begin with. Is everyone bothering me when I was busy trying to start and work my business from home? Especially if you never worked from home before. It can be a challenge. I actually took the time to see what were my distractions and why. How I could minimize them and how to make things change. I basically had to reset how I functioned every day, cause now my life is way different than before. It took me forever to figure that part out.
Once that part was figured out my work life and home life changed. I was more focused and more productive in my day. Cause I knew exactly what distracted me and how to stop it from doing that.
