I couldn’t resist using this headline, but there’s actually no hype in this post. I just want to talk about some direct ways of making money on the internet.
In this case, “making money directly” is the opposite of “passive income.” So quite an interesting turn of events considering that the internet is all-in on the whole passive income concept, right?
In short, this is about freelancing – exchanging your expertise for money.
This question might seem like a fairly simple one to answer. At least that was my initial opinion… But as it turns out, there’s no sensible way of measuring our productivity levels.
I mean, even if we feel like fairly productive people, we can’t be sure what our true potential is. Who knows, maybe we could get twice as many tasks done every day…
So what to do to find out? I guess that the only possibility is to keep improving our productivity, day by day, no matter how good we think we are.
(Now, this is not going to be a purely speculative post talking about this or that, I actually have some advice I want to share that will help you achieve more during your workday.)
Being drunk and being productive is not exactly the most fortunate pair, is it? But quite surprisingly the two have a lot in common.
For instance, when you’re drunk, you usually feel like the king of the world. You can do anything, achieve every goal, and so on … at least in your mind. The truth, of course, is exactly the opposite.
Not every day is mighty productive … I’m sure you can relate to this. Sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything valuable even though you know you should.
Being able to come to work with the same amount of productivity in you every day is next to impossible. And by coming to work I also mean working for yourself from your home office.
Thankfully, there are some things we can do to help us remain productive. Actually, there’s a massive amount of those things, which I’m sure you know if you’ve been on the internet for any amount of time. But today I just want to show one simple approach – the one I’m using for over two years now.
First of all, I don’t trust myself. I don’t believe that “me” is the best possible person to entrust my productivity to. That’s why I’m using a system – something that can’t possibly fail because there’s no human factor, just rules and guidelines.
So here’s what I do.
Procrastination has quite a bad publicity online these days. People start to understand how dangerous it is and how bad it can get over time if you don’t do anything about it.
However, the thing is not nearly as dangerous as some people want us to believe it is. There’s actually a very simple way of using procrastination to your benefit and turning it into something positive.
But before I can tell you how to do it I need to make sure that we’re on the same page here… So what procrastination is actually?
As it turns out, Wikipedia has quite a good definition of procrastination, which isn’t the rule for every entry. Here goes:
Hi there! I'm Karol. I was never good at elevator pitches so let me just tell you like it is: I make a living by using my blogs as business tools (directly and indirectly). Over the last couple of years, I had the privilege to work with some great people and publish my articles on sites like: About.com, ProBlogger, Freelance Switch, Quick Sprout, Lifehack and many others.Copyright © 2013 some rights reserved · privacy · terms · brewed in Poland
