- develop a good routine that keeps you moving. For me, it means:
- working from home from 9 to 12.
- eat lunch at home
- go to coffee shop to have coffee/work from there until 6
- stop working at 6 and do something else: sports, meet with friends etc.
- big space/natural light is very important. Right now I'm in a tiny hotel room with no windows and I simply cannot work from there. So I'm all day in a coffee shop (in a new town, so no getting bored feeling yet).- Talk to other people about what you're doing (significant other, friends, etc) Try to explain progress you've made today. It can get pretty frustrating if you're spinning your wheels all day without nobody to talk about it.
- If your work (and your finances) allows it, go somewhere else where you can stay for a week (friend or family place). I'm currently traveling in South-East Asia and it helps not to be locked in the same room all the time.
- Get out and join classes. You're already doing it with gym classes, but maybe you could try something else if you don't like it.
