Hi Marion,

1) My biggest problem is prioritising. I have so much on that my online business has suffered.

2) It would help me to clearly see what really is important and what I should let go of.

3) 1 - I know the answer is out there and I know where to find it, the problem is letting go.

I look forward to the training :-)

Thanks, Gaylene. I sometimes forget to look at my TA DA list (not a TO DO list, when I cross something off, I say TA DA!)

Hi, Marion, I guess the one problem I'm having is recruiting people and also finding more time for my business.

Yep recruiter referrals goes along with my others
I second this one for sure.

Noted, Robert. Thanks for your input.

My biggest problem is the computer. There is no one here to help if it crashes and no one who is very knowledgeable about problems I might face.

It is also difficult to resolve technical problems for me because I don't know much. When something goes wrong, I come to a standstill until I find someone who can help me out. It's really good we have such a supportive group.

#2 -- In spite of difficulties, eventually I find answers.

Not that you're a dummy, Fran, but you may find "Computers for Seniors for Dummies" helpful. You can get it from Amazon.

Thanks for your input.

If only I had the traffic it would be more enjoyable LOL not what you were really looking for I guess. Ok seriously I wouldnt mind a more updated training on landing pages and the use of autoresponders

This IS what I'm looking for Cathy. That's three great ideas for me.

Oh goodie whens the training. ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ˜€

I'm pretty much with Diane here.

I love and have no problem working from home. But then I'm retired and all my children are adults.

Certainly my brain gets a bit mushy after a couple of solid hours on the computer but I use a rewards system like Diane. My rewards are

Walk for an hour and a half alongside the river or through the National Park.
Go for an hour and a half bike ride.
Go to the beach and surf.
Lift weights.

Living in paradise (Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia) sure helps.

And while it's not difficult to find a solution (the Internet abounds with them) finding a solution that works... ahh, that's different. I believe WA will be it.

Way to go Phil - your rewards sound a lot more fun than mine!

I love your rewards system, Phil. Thanks for mentioning it.

Hello Marion,
Tomorrow I will send you a private response to your "very interesting" recent post. I tell you tomorrow because it is not easy for me to get them to understand me correctly in a language that is not mine. You are a VERY VALUABLE person within WA. See you tomorrow!
Claudio

Thank you, Claudio. I'll look forward to reading it.

Hi Marion - interesting topic but I can't really contribute as I love working from home! I am a freelance web writer and proofreader and work approximately 8 hours per day.

I used to have a problem with self-discipline when I first started. It is all too easy to just have a quick glance at emails and before you know it an hour has passed by.

What I do now is operate a reward system which may be a solution for others. I work for 2 hours and then have a 15 minute break to do whatever I want. And repeat...

Look forward to seeing your next tutorial, Diane

Self-discipline can be difficult sometimes. Have you tried the Pomodoro technique?

Thanks Marion - not heard of this technique before but essentially it is the method I use but a bit more sophisticated by using a timer. I just keep looking at the clock lol

Hi Marion,

In my current job, I worked from home every day for about 3 years. It was like a dream come true for me. Then, in June of 2017, my company merged with an advertising firm and we had to move to an office in the downtown area. This was a severe blow to me and my moral.

You see, I worked as a law enforcement officer for 23 years driving in downtown traffic sometimes 12 hours a day. So, working from home with no interruptions was perfect for me. I'm more productive and really like not having to dress to work, buy food, drive through rush hour traffic and get interrupted by an endless chain of people walking by my desk. I have convinced my boss to allow me to work from home three days a week.

So, my problem is one you can't help with I think. I need to work from home 5 days a week.

This being said, I really like your post and I am interested to see what other members see as their work from home issues.

Thanks,

Cal

Thanks for sharing, Cal. I used to run my own business from a downtown office and I wasted so much time commuting every day.

Exactly, I figure about 2.5 hours a day. Not to mention wear and tear on my vehicle, paying for gas and buying food. At a minimum $200.00 monthly just to work away from home. Very interesting idea you have for your course. I hope it goes well.

What is your biggest problem with working from home?
* For me, having my wife working from home 3 out of 5 days, for me is my biggest problem. On days the she's works her mid-day shift (hours) the traffic in and around my work area is great. On days that shes home working, i have to adjust to the noise level (phone calls/speaker phone) and movement). My thought train get side tracked more.

Why would it make a difference in your life to get a good answer for this problem or find a solution for your need? (Details, please.)
* Finding a good/great answer to this problem would mean my production level would be on the up beat more than struggling to get my goals for the day done.

How difficult has it been for you to find a good solution so far? Please just choose a number ๐Ÿ˜Š
* 2

Thanks for sharing, Donnie. The distractions are an important aspect that I had not considered.

Biggest problem was not making enough moolah. I have a lot of kids to feed :) I think it would make a difference to spend more time with my kids.
It has been somewhat difficult lately.

Thank you, Becca. That helps.
