One of the things you have to watch when you work from home is becoming lazy. Sometimes I realise there is not enough work happening and I have to quickly enter some data or type up an article for a website. You need to limit the distractions and commit yourself to completing a certain amount of set tasks every day. Data entry can be a boring job so it’s vital to divide your work space up as to avoid the temptation of partaking in more exciting activities. If you enjoy the odd alcoholic beverage it would not be a good idea to keep a bar fridge next to your computer.
My data entry business would probably be thriving now if it wasn’t for my tendency to avoid hard work. It’s not that I don’t like working. It’s more that I like playing guitar and eating so much more. What would you rather do? Sit in the sun with a cup of tea and a packet of chocolate biscuits or sit in front of your computer and type endless streams of data into a spreadsheet or document? The only thing keeping me going is knowing how much more money I will make with each portion of data I enter. If I don’t enter the data I won’t get paid. It’s that simple!
