Adjusting To Working From Home!
I've heard many people say they get lonely and miss being around
work associates when they work at home. You should consider this
as you think about starting a home-based business. Will you be
able to work by yourself, will you get lonely?
There are people that are almost forced to work at home, such as
disabled people, single moms or dads that can't afford daycare,
or don't want to put their children in daycare. For these folks
that didn't necessarily choose a home career it can be quite
difficult.
To really enjoy a home business and keep yourself from going
nuts, it's necessary to establish business hours and a routine.
It's best to get dressed every day at a reasonable hour,
otherwise you find the whole day's gone and you're still in your
pajamas. It's great to do that, it's just not good to do it.
Give yourself a defined meal and try to eat healthy. Don't grab
a snack every half hour. Soon your body will expect to be fed
every couple of hours, just like a new baby. Then you'll start
packing on the pounds.
Try to get some fresh air every day. It's amazing how that will
clear your head, solve problems and give you new ideas.
Using the "To Do" list approach mentioned in another article
will keep you focused every working day. As you clean your list
add new things for the following day and if you've finished it
early, reward yourself by quitting early. But if you find this
happening too often, you may not be challenging yourself
enough--don't forget, you want your business to succeed!
