Things that help speed up your production

So, I have seen it a few times here on the warrior forum, and more recently in an email.

Writing down task and setting a certain amount of time for each of them.

Normally when I set out to do something that involves working on the computer, I always seem to get distracted with browsing the internet, facebook, forums ect. So today in an email I received it talked about writing your task down and sticking to the allotted time you have set aside.

I have seen this many times in different threads, (probably while I should have been doing something else) and basically just ignored it. Well today I just happened to already have a pen and paper in front of me so I jotted down the few task and set a reasonable amount of time for each. Along with an overall time for the set of task.

Towards the end I was thinking that I was really falling behind. Anyway with all my tabs and windows closed. I just kept focused and working on exactly what I set out to do.

Once I was finished I grabbed my notebook to check off each task, and to make sure nothing was missing. I looked down at the clock, checked my notebook again, and I was literally 1 minute off from my time schedule for the entire set of task.

Even though these things shouldn't take that long, I am normally all over the place trying to multi-task. Which normally ends up with me looking at the clock wondering where the time went, and how I just wasted 3 or 4 hours with nothing accomplished.

This is just one thing that I will be doing everyday from now on.

I would love to here any other tips or ideas that other warriors use to stay focused and speed up there production while working online.
