Tips For Those Who Work at Home Part-Time
Work at home part-time and at another job full-time and find
yourself in a time crunch a majority of the time? It can be
tough balancing both jobs and trying to be successful at the
same time. Knowing how to create time and manage it better in
order to work at home part time effectively can make your life a
whole lot easier.
One way to keep track of the work you are doing when you work at
home part-time is to have an activity log. Try it for a week.
Include all your daily activities and how long it takes you to
complete each task. This log will help you see exactly where
your time is going.
Second, it is easy after a long day at your full-time job to
come home and be distracted from your work at home part-time
job. Your log will help you see just how much time you are
devoting to these distractions. It will also help you determine
how to curb those habits and be more effective in your work at
home part-time job.
Now, if you apply the same techniques to your full-time job, you
can free up some time to work on your work at home part-time
responsibilities. However, this advice also comes with a serious
warning, as many bosses do not like you to work on outside jobs
when they are paying you to do their work. It is important that
you are on top of your full-time work before you start working
on your work at home part-time work.
Use your log to develop a schedule for your work at home
part-time business. To-Do lists are a great tool to be able to
prioritize what needs to be done and when it needs to be
completed. Daily to-do lists are virtually a necessity in work
at home part-time businesses, as it keeps you focused. Be sure,
too, to develop a schedule that is realistic with real time
schedules for tasks. Also, set time limits for tasks that are
ongoing. Creating this type of discipline is important for
balancing your work at home part-time job with your full-time
job and, most importantly, your life.
Learning to say "no" is one of the most effective time
management tools if you work at home part-time. However, if you
do not learn to decline projects, you will find yourself under
increasing stress. Make sure you know exactly how much work you
can handle and keep yourself within your limits.
Finally, you need to learn to use your down time effectively for
your work at home part-time business. Use your "waiting room"
time to get some work done. Also, time spent traveling on
airplanes, buses, cabs, etc. can all be used for minor tasks. It
will help you save time later.
