One of the hardest things when you start your own business is to get things done You no longer have a boss and it is very easy to procrastinate and get nothing done. In this article we are going to look at how you can get things done.

Create a nice work area

Try to create a nice office that is separated from the rest of your life. Everything in the office should be work related so that you can forget about the rest of your life and focus on the work that needs to be done in the business. Make sure you do not get disturbed.

Turn of your phone
