Can’t get anything done?  Usually the term, “lip service” means a lot of talk with no action, but not in this case.  LIP can also mean lack of priority, interruptions and procrastination. Yes, I know, I can almost hear those heavy deep sighs; but what’s a girl to do? Whether you work outside of your home or own a home business, you can change your work habits if these three things are holding you back:
L ack of priorities. Your to-do list is useless if you don’t know what to tackle first. Talk with your supervisor to identify what’s really important. If you’re the person in charge, devote some time to deciding which tasks add the most value to your organization so you don’t waste time on nonessentials.

I nterruptions. You can’t shut yourself off completely from co-workers and your boss, but you can minimize time-wasting interruptions. Close your door if you have one; if not, hang a “Do Not Disturb” sign on your cubicle, or wear some headphones that block noise. Let people know you sometimes need to concentrate, but that you’re available in case of legitimate emergencies.

P rocrastination. Time disappears quickly when you put off necessary tasks. Try breaking them down into small segments so they’re easier to get started on–especially for large-scale projects, which can intimidate many people into delaying action. Schedule unpleasant tasks early in the morning so you can get them out of the way and focus on other jobs.
