It happened that I work often in front of the computer can you imagine how vulnerable I am from distractions online.

I also use a time management tool that tracks time accurately when working on each task like this one.( http://www.timedoctor.com/blog/2010/07/25/how-is-time-doctor-different-than-rescue-time )Using this tool I set an estimated amount of time when working on each task. My key to follow my schedule habits and finish tasks on time is discipline. With discipline I would say that I can be more productive.

Orange:  This level of productive capacity is the waystation between creative awesomeness and merely puttering along.  A lot of work can get done here, but you’ll be somewhat aware that you’re working.
