3 Ways to Improve Productivity [Infographic]
Want to live a more productive life but have no idea where to start?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
As a freelance writer working from home, I struggle to be productive on a daily basis.
Whether it’s because of stress, a lack of motivation, or simply laziness, I’m easily distracted and highly prone to procrastination – especially since my mind is almost always preoccupied with unexplored ideas and buzzing with random thoughts.
Overcoming procrastination can be a real challenge.
It’s worse if you’re a perfectionist or if you’re afraid of failure. In my case, I was both.
It took me years to learn how to deal with my poor concentration and tendency to procrastinate.
I mean, it’s still a constant battle between the temptation to do nothing and the desire to stick to my resolutions. But it’s much easier for me to find a way out of this inner conflict these days.

I’ll be outlining 3 simple points and some specific, actionable steps you can take to start making changes and improving your situation right away.

Thank you for this post! Social media is always my biggest distraction… and lack od prioritizing (I get lost in the side quests). Your post is a good reminder of the importance of self care.
Same, Martine! Social media is like a rabbit hole for me. Glad you found this helpful 🙂
This is great Christine! I very much agree it takes time to develop these skills and be able to focus. I also wrote about my inability to focus and how I was self-sabotaging myself, even though I really wanted to reach my goals in this Strive article: https://strivewithme.com/the-fear-of-not-being-good-enough/ I think it might be able to help you too 🙂
Thanks, Melissa! I’ll certainly check out the article soon.
