Working from home can be beneficial in many ways, but many people feel they would lack the focus and self-discipline required to be productive and complete their tasks.
If you are working from home, whether you’re a blogger or a digital business owner, you will know that it is not always easy to be productive or to maintain your productivity. You can easily get distracted and sucked into that pesky rabbit hole that leads to procrastination and ultimately, not completing your work.
Many of us are used to working in a virtual environment in one way or another, but taking it from part time to full time can be a surprisingly big shift. We likely already have the skills and the equipment, but creating routine and maintaining motivation are totally different challenges.
This post looks at how to boss your virtual/remote working by reviewing or implementing processes and tips to boost motivation and productivity. And if you’re a Lyrical Host customer, there are downloads that work well with this post in the Resource Library.

When you publish your own content on your website, it’s automatically protected by copyright law. This means it’s never okay to use images or text from other websites without written permission, even if it’s been published on social media or displays in Google Images. You may embed content where the creator has allowed it, for example embedding someone else’s YouTube video or Instagram image on your website using the embed code provided by the social network (which includes credit and links).
Unfortunately, there are always people out there who will take advantage of your words, images, and other content to use on their own website or to drive traffic to it. In this post, we look at some ways you can make it harder for thieves to steal your content, and what you can do about it if it does happen.
This post looks at what types of things you should write in your image ALT descriptions, and how to balance the needs of both search engine optimization and accessibility for the best of both worlds!
Imagine if you tried to learn how to crawl, walk, run, ski, drive, cycle, and surf all at the same time. Or if when you started learning to read as a small child, the first book you were given was a Shakespeare play and you were told to write a dissertation and give a talk on your work at a conference by the end of the month.
It would be impossible right? You’d end up frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed.
But this is what a lot of bloggers try to do. It’s normal to be excited about blogging, but trying to learn everything straight away is just going to pull you in a bunch of different directions. Without delving deep enough into anything specific, or sticking at one thing long enough to make a difference, you’ll be spinning plates without getting anywhere. Not only does it set you up for getting frustrated with yourself and your results, it’s the fastest path to burnout.
