More and more people are working from home. There is a rapid trend of small business opening and people deciding to try freelancing. When you shift from a 9/5 job to freelance, some big changes are happening. Going to work every morning and being told what to do by others is very different from working for yourself. The big key to successfully working from home is the level of productivity you have.
Can Productivity Methods Really Help Us?
Productivity is something I've had trouble with since I was young. I managed to get things done, but it would take all of my energy, and I would fall into the procrastination hole. Then I started to think about the reasons behind my procrastination. After years and years of trying different methods and approaches, I managed to find 4 of them that work. They are easy to implement, and the best part is that when you get bored of one method, you can choose one from the other three.
I had friends struggling with studying for finals or writing their bachelor's degrees and shared these strategies with them. All of them never heard about those methods before but found them so helpful. After I realized the importance that being productive holds to all of us. Especially those whose level of productivity needs to be high as their financial stability, career, and overall quality of life depends on how productive they are.

Is It Possible To Have Stress-Free Productivity?
I realized that stress is one of the most damaging factors of trying to stay on top of your game. It is especially noticeable when you talk to those who are self-employed. They are under stress because making money when you work from home as a small business owner, blogger or freelancer is hard. The stress is mostly there because we have the wrong perception of what being productive means.
Productivity is often seen as always hustling, grinding, and spending every minute of our day working hard on our business. When in fact, being productive also means reading a book, having a pamper night, listening to the podcast, going for a walk, etc.
We get stressed because we don't notice the real time-consuming activities. Those are the things we do that are not benefiting us in any way. They might be fun for a short while, but they are not bringing value to our life.
10 Mindsets That Are Making You Procrastinate
1. "My life needs to be perfect, but perfection is hard to achieve, I won't even try."
2. " There is enough time, I'll start later."
3. "Everyone is doing this so I need to hop on that wagon as well."
4. " What if it doesn't go as planned."
5. "I failed once so I'll surely fail again this time."
6. " There is probably a shortcut I can take."
7. " I'll just work until I pass out."
8. " I promise I'll be productive once I watch one more episode."
9. "They said I should even try so I won't."
10. " That is a bigger bite than I can take."
These are only 10 mindsets most of us had at one point in our lives. There will always be doubts in our minds but deep down we need to remember why we started in the first place. So many people are dreaming about working from home, owning a small business, or being a freelancer right now. Negative mindsets like the ones above are unnecessary. Don't let procrastination ruin your dream.
I know how hard it can be to find motivation when you don't feel like yourself. In the eBook, alongside other helpful worksheets, you can also find a 30-day productivity challenge that will help you make the first step in the right direction.
