The whole trick to working productively isn’t really a trick at all. The big trick, the big secret to being productive online is this… Work on ONE thing until you are DONE with that ONE thing. Regardless of distractions, how you feel, how many competing “BETTER THINGS/WAYS” there are to do it, all the way through to completion.

This is not to say that choosing the right thing to do, and creating a plan for how you will get it done, INCLUDING A TIMEFRAME, is not important… You can spend all day on organizing your file folders with the best category system or line up the MOST tidy box of paperclips, and STILL HAVE missed the biggest point, and not really have accomplished anything.
