These are amazing tips! I used to find it hard to stick with it when working from home. I knew I was a failure as an entrepreneur! (Okay, I might of been kind of hard on myself...) But I found that writing down tips is mandatory. If I don't write down some goals and stick to my daily routine then my productivity goes out the window. With goals-I'm a great, productive worker! (I found other great tips to bootstrap my business online.)

I find that making a daily, weekly or even monthly to do list works the best for me. Exercise is key too, don't forget that!

Great Thread! I would love to add some specific builds.

I think those are tips are great general tips to start with, but for me I find it very useful to know the specific things I can do or use to increase my productivity.

1.) I think for me creating a blogging workflow is key. It is important to establish how you will collect, edit, and filter the information you will publish. Systems are important to overall productivity

2.) Collecting information and listening to the conversation in your blog niche is extremely important. Obviously the best way to increase productivity in terms of listening is to set up a Google Alert, or using RSS readers to keep your ear to the streets and see what other people are writing about. Another great tool is Alltop, which aggregates all the best blogs in each niche. In terms of information and inspiration collection I find the tools diigo and Evernote are perfect for my needs to capture and index great information that I want to integrate into my blog posts later on.

Hopefully all this helps!
