Now that I am full time from my home office I have to be very focused on how many hours I am spending on each project. Social Media Marketing may be m job, but this DOES NOT mean I simply play around on Facebook all day. I am working while on these social networks and have to stay focused or else I can haz cheeseburger website can distract me for hours!

This tip for staying focused is from Brenda Kinsel, an image consultant, author and educational trainer for women starting their own image consulting businesses (and new client of mine).

This is my new favorite focus tool. I put the name of my current project in the spindle which sits next to my computer, turn off email, set a timer and work on that project for the specific amount of time. Used it yesterday to finish this month’s Monthly Marketing Bundle (MMBs). Painless!
