We live a very busy (although most of the time unproductive) world. To do lists, pointless emails, countless meetings, deadlines and so on. We often busy but usually unproductive.People spend 8 hours in the office 5 days a week, yet not much gets done. The fact that you simply can’t stay focused for such a ...

tldr: yes, you can be productive without using any tools but it would depend on your circumstances and natural skills. So, we’re used to - and often depend on - multiple productivity apps. You know the saying “there’s an app for that”, right 😂 And sure there is, and not one or two but dozens of ...

We’ve covered this subject in more detail (focusing on freelancers) some time ago. In this post however I wanted to share my personal experience with procrastinating.  Things I found difficult as well as techniques and habits I’ve implemented to get rid of reduce procrastination. If you have followed my personal quest to master productivity you know how ...

How long do you think you spend working each day? Do you put in a solid 8 hours from start to finish? And, if so, how productive are you during those eight hours? (more…)

Freelancing is increasingly becoming the career path of choice for many workers in the UK. It’s not easy, though, and far too many people still enter the world of freelancing without realising how hard they’ll need to work in order to run a sustainable business. The biggest problem is often the many distractions that come from home ...

My productivity essentials - 3 main things.     1) Write things down If you're anything like me, you'll find that if you fail to write something down, you'll easily forget it. This sounds very simple but it helps me a lot with getting things done. You don't really need any fancy tools for this, either - although there are ...

I can't believe it's been two years, how the time flies. inbountom.co.uk is 2 years old.   I was checking out the post I wrote a year ago and I'm quite happy with they way things are going. The blog is growing, we have more content and people enjoy reading it. What next? More of the same I guess. ...

For many people, mobile phones are their first point of call for most activities, playing games, taking pictures, making videos, creating art, and let’s not forget calling and texting people. Personally, one of the most important yet overlooked areas that a mobile phone owner might use their device for is for writing and managing all ...

It seems a little odd to me, that I should be writing a review for a mobile app and singing its praises because of how few functions it has, but that’s exactly what I’m doing. The iA Writer app is a word processor that does very little more than provide a virtual typewriter for you. ...

It is hard to believe it's 2016 already. As always in January, I like to set aside some time to reflect on the previous year and set new goals & resolutions for 2016. 2015 was a great year, both at work and in my personal life and I think I have reached a very good work/life ...

It’s not a new concept that everybody on this little old planet is a lot busier than they ever used to be. It’s impossible to check just how calm and relaxed people may have been in past times, but nowadays things can get pretty hectic. Our lifestyles are in general more demanding. This is why ...

"What type of content should I post on my blog?" is something my customers often ask me. And just like with my last post where I talked about SEO, PPC and Social, the answer is: IT DEPENDS. It depends on a number of factors such as the very purpose, type and topic of your blog. What is ...

Recently, a potential customer asked me, “Which one should I go for, SEO, PPC or Social?”. “It depends” - I replied. Working in online marketing I get asked this question quite a lot. Usually by small business owners with small budgets. The thing is, there is no simple answer to this question, and all I would ...

Although the history of a New Year’s resolutions goes as far back as the ancient times of Babylonians and Romans, I have never tried making one. 2015 will be the first time for me.   2014 was a great year for me both professionally and personally. I’ve taken on new hobbies and I think I have managed ...

The Internet has given rise to many new industries since it’s rapid growth in popularity since the turn of the Millenium. Online shopping, internet marketing companies and digital dating websites are just a few examples, but one of todays heavy hitters is a relatively new phenomenon. Crowdfunding websites are fast becoming very popular when it comes ...

  “Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam!” is a cry that any Monty Python fan worth their salt will recognise with a smile and a sense of amusement, but when you talk of spam in relation to unsolicited contact then it’s rarely funny. Spam is a part of everyday online life, webmasters and bloggers deal with forum and ...
