Today, we will begin giving tips for working at home. These tips are designed to help all those who are, or those who are thinking about, working from home. My hope is that they will encourage people who are working from home, and that they will bring a more positive light to working at home.
Tip #1: Set a Schedule.
This is very important. The first thing we did, before we started working from home, was make a schedule. If you set a schedule for yourself, and stick to it, you are more likely to be successful. Also, when your schedule is complete, place it where it is easily viewed. Put it somewhere where you will see it while you are working.
When you sit down to make your schedule, don’t just start with the time you want to start working. Instead, try starting with a set time to get up and eat breakfast. A good breakfast is the best way to start your day! Allow yourself a few 10 to 15 minute breaks throughout the day, not including your lunch break. You may also consider setting aside a 30 minute break for exercise. Taking a few minutes away from your work will help you relax and come back to your work refreshed and ready to go.
Lastly, set a time to stop every day. When it’s quittin’ time, it’s quittin time. Try not to go past your set time to stop working for the day. You need to allow yourself some time at home that does not include work. This will help to separate home from work.
