Succeed at Working from Home

Some Problems and Their Solutions.

a. Easy to become a slob in track-suit and slippers. Get yourself a routine of washing, dressing and breakfasting, and stick to it.

b. Working into the early hours of the morning making you tired and stressed. Hey, that may be why you quit employed work. Establish your working hours from day 1, and stick to them.

c. A sudden lack of ideas, sometimes called writer’s block, can hit you. Develop a strategy of doing other essential work, researching an idea on the net and write a few notes about your state of mind. Leave it until the next day and read your notes for inspiration.

d. It can get lonely working from home. Stay in touch with likeminded people, perhaps on a forum and schedule contact with real living humans at least once a week. You will be surprised at the ideas this can give you.

e.The kitchen is nearby and convenient. Find ways to avoid eating in snacks and bits. Keep regular meal times and drink water, regularly. Plan regular exercise, even if it is just a 30 minute walk daily.

f. Too easy to merge work and non-work. Schedule play-time. Ensure you take regular, daily time-out, do a crossword, phone a friend, go shopping or meet a friend for coffee.

1. The secret is to take your “Working From Home” seriously.

2. Plan it and plan your breaks and strategies.

3. Design your work area so that it is tidy and devoted to work only.

4. Remember to remind yourself of why you are doing this.

5. Enjoy it.
