The second habit of highly successful people is to prepare a workspace that lends itself to good productivity. Review these ideas:
Set aside specific blocks on your calendar that are designated work time. That way, you won’t schedule appointments or anything else over these daily blocks of time. Take note that these blocks of time should be treated as seriously as anything else on your calendar (like doctor’s appointments).
Get rid of physical distractions by turning off the TV, your phone, and other similar devices. Better yet, make it difficult to turn them back on. For example, put your phone in a room across the house. That way, you won’t mindlessly pick up your phone and start scrolling, as you’ll need to make a conscious effort to get up and get your phone.
Get rid of online distractions. You may use an app such as GetColdTurkey.com to avoid social media and other distractions. If these sorts of distractions still prove to be too much for you, then whenever possible you may simply disconnect yourself from the internet while you’re working.

Ask friends and family not to interrupt you during your work time (if you work from home). Ask them to treat your work time just the same as if you left for work, in which case they should only interrupt you if absolutely necessary. If you have children, you may need to ask your partner to watch the children during specific times (and return the favor later so that your partner can do what he or she loves too).
Create a comfortable workspace that you love. If you enjoy being at your desk, then you’ll find it easier to stay there and get your work done. This means you may do things like decorate your work space with things you love, such as pictures of your family.
NOTE: While it may seem like a relatively small issue, keep in mind that creating a comfortable workspace also means being sure the physical environment – such as the temperature – is comfortable for you. If you’re working in a room that’s too hot or too cold, your productivity is going to suffer. So, be sure the room is as comfortable as possible in all ways so you can focus on your work.
