Working online can be stressful at times and this can hinder our productivity because we are faced with a lot of distractions from social media to our messages in mails to YouTube videos, the infinite scroll on Facebook, it is really really counterproductive.
You may find it hard to get things done in time and you will just be procrastinating when you're running out of time and you start rushing again.
I think to stay productive while working online you need to cancel out the noise, this is by muting any social media and freezing or disabling apps that will render you counter-productive, entertaining ourselves is very tempting, you feel like after watching this one more video you'll be done and you will focus on your work but alas, you keep on going back to it.
We should also utilize productivity apps they help in making sure we reach our goals.
Also before starting a day make sure you've written the goals you want to achieve in that day and stick it somewhere around you or save it as a reminder on your phone, this can help in staying focused.
And if you have the chance, get your self a productivity partner, this can be a coworker a friend or even a colleague that you share the same interests.
