Bloggers generally face many challenges in comparison to other work employees. If you have any work experience of a big multinational company you better know that these companies follow discipline strictly. They do their work according to work schedule. This is the main reason behind their huge productivity. Bloggers often face lots of challenges because they generally don’t have idea of business. They generally don’t treat their blog as a business and finally they struggle. Here I am compiling some great productivity tips which should be useful to you.

1. Do more in less time
Some bloggers waste too much time in reading other’s post. Reading blog is not a bad thing but try to optimize your work by reading only useful blog. Make work schedule. Give time to write post. Give more preference to writing articles instead of reading others.
2. Use Online Alarm clock
Sometimes while working online you don’t realize about current time and you spend lots of time on internet. Give rest to your eyes by taking time to time small nap between work. Use online clock and set alarm according to your work schedule.
3. Watch YouTube Videos
YouTube is amazing source of learning. You can subscribe to various channels which deliver video tutorial on various topics. There are lots of useful tutorials regarding blogging, SEO, web designing etc. present on YouTube. You can also take advantage of WordPress.Tv which is a great collection of WordPress tutorials.
4. Turn off distractions
While writing post always try to cut off yourself from the outer world. Turn off your Tweetdeck client which distract you from unusual chirping time to time. Never open any social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Orkut while writing articles.
5. Never waste your time
Bloggers found lots of distracting elements online as well as offline. Try to increase your productivity by get away from these habits. It’s either watching television or playing online games or unusual chatting with friends on IMs.
6. Find your most important work
Try to know about your most important work and try to stick with it. Many bloggers generally try web designing or programming as a time pass. Sometimes they change their field by jumping into another field. It’s very important to know about topic in which you are interested.
7. Use extensions
Extensions or addons are great productivity tools for bloggers. Firefox is serving addons since long time. Recently Google Chrome also introduced extension. These extensions are very helpful for getting work done easily. You can use SEO tool to check website’s stats, YouTube extension to watch videos and also take notes without leaving your browser.
8. Use Wordweb dictionary
Bloggers often get stuck with difficult to understand word. There are lots of handy tools to use which ease your work. You can either download Wordweb dictionary on your computer or you can use Dictionary extension for Google chrome.
9. Don’t quit your job
I regularly say these words because I know that bloggers face tough time if they quit job before building their business. Save backup money for at least 3 to 5 months if your business is not established. Don’t make any quick decision. Calculate your capabilities and work opportunities.
10. Use productivity tools
Tools play an important role in humans life. There are lots of tools, web apps available to help you in blogging. Always take help of them. Have a look on blogging tools list I made earlier.
I know there is lot more to say. Leave your comments to add some more productivity tips in this list.

I never tried #2 Tip because of many reasons.But I feel it’s really wonderful idea to get alarmed while working.

Youtube gets you hooked up than any other site on the web haha.. So it’s better to control your urges and get back to work on time.
The other stuff that I hate about many people is that the addiction they have towards Facebook games like Mafia wars and Farmville.
God I just hate them grrr..
These are all true and these tips are for the bloggers and not for the blogs. It’s really really great. I can also add one point, it is for all bloggers to read, learn, and appreciate other bloggers’ work. I stated one of these facts on my own blog for profit. This point will also make you realize that even though the blogosphere is growing, you won’t be left behind because in the process you will have lots of friends who are bloggers too, and this sharing of ideas will also help pass the traffic from one blog on to another. If there’s harmony between two or more blogs, readers buy it, and they can see it.
Well Said . You tips always come handy . These are some good notes i like to hear from a blogger who inspired me into blogging
thanks
This is awesomeness!
Great Point, I need to follow this steps soon. Thanks for Sharing
