Another Good Habit

One of the reasons I had such a hard time running a web design business was that it was based out of my home. Your environment strongly affects your mentality, and most people do have a hard time being very productive in the place they relax, watch tv, and sleep.

I started going to the gym about a year ago and have been going every to every other day for the last year. Before that I used to try to workout at my house and by no means did I ever get as good of a workout as I do going to the gym. Going to the gym is a habit now and my day feels almost incomplete if I don't go.

A new habit that I'm developing to be as productive with my own time as possible is going to the library. I went for the first time yesterday and found that I was able to focus 100% on what I needed to do with no distractions. I believe the more times I do this the more I'll reinforce this habit and have a place to go where I know I'll be able to be productive.

After reading a lot of blogs about people who started home based businesses, this was one of the problems that was really self defeating. Having a dedicated place to do certain things better allows you to focus on those certain things ;)

So what do you want to do? And where can you go to do it? Start going there and doing it consistently :) you know you should.

BLaBZ ouT!
