How to stay productive while at home

This week's Monday Motivation is all about something that might be new to a lot of you but very necessary, remaining productive as a home worker.

We don't believe that watching a motivational video will suddenly make you a great poker player, consistent good habits and a commitment to learning will. However, it is undeniable that a short term boost of inspiration can start a positive snowball effect. 

Every Monday morning we share a 'Monday Motivation' video to get our players in the right frame of mind. Whether it's poker, chess, sport, business or study, the lessons are always universal, so we want to get you pumped in the same way. 

Right now a lot of us are having to stay at home and some people really struggle to get stuff done with no separation between work and home. If there is one person who knows about getting stuff done while working from home it's Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income Podcast. He has created an empire from his home over the last decade and here he shares some great tips for working remotely.
