Working
at home is fantastic. Right up until your computer is thrown up by the cat. And your
neighbor, who you can only suppose is constructing a time machine, starts
firing across the road all kinds of power tools and noisy equipment.
However,
at home office, I discover that becoming your own worst enemy is simple for
you. Because you're free to drop those nasty inhibitions when you're not
surrounded by co-workers.
Nobody is
watching at the home office. You don't necessarily feel the same peer pressure
or collective duty to get things done.

How To Work From Home
The vast
majority of job-at-home possibilities were far from lucrative just a few
decades ago. And it was much harder to sort through the scams and the real
opportunities before the Internet dawned.
Top 10 Tips For Work From
Home
- Get started early.
- Identify what needs to
get done every day and make sure to do it.
- Invest in Technology
- Pretend like
you are going into the office.
- Set “Work Hours”
- Avoid “Work Creep”
- Pretend you're not
home
- Get in-person time
with co-workers.
- Enjoy your
flexibility.
- Make a stoplight for
family members
- Be clear about your
working hours
- Exercise
- Save calls for the afternoon.
Get started early.
- When you work in an
office, your morning travel can assist you to wake up and feel prepared to
work as long as you arrive at your desk.
- The shift from your
pillow to your laptop, however, can be much more jarring at home.
- Believe it or not, diving
into your to-do list as quickly as you wake up is one way to operate
productively from home.
- Simply having a
project started in the morning can be the key to progressing throughout
the day gradually.
- Otherwise, you will
prolong your lunch and let your motive wear away from the morning
sluggishness.
Identify what needs to get
done every day and make sure to do it.
"As
long as I have a plan on how to complete the list of daily tasks on my personal
to-do list, it doesn't matter if or how I can be disrupted as long as I get
stuff done by the end of the day," says Michael Pesochinsky, VP, GC and
CTO of Great Neck, Government Bargains based in New York.
Invest in Technology
Yes,
setting up a home office or workspace may require a small investment. Much
like starting a new business, you may have to purchase technology, such as a
desktop, laptop, tablet or phone system to do your job every day.
Depending
on the nature of your work, you may also need to purchase applications,
hardware, and/ or software. Our recommendation?
Pretend like
you are going into the office.
- The mental
connection you create between job and an office can make you more
productive, and when telecommuting, there is no reason to lose sensation.
- Do everything you
would do to prepare for an office position when working from home: set
your alarm, create (or go get) coffee, and wear beautiful clothes.
- Internet browsers such
as Google Chrome even enable you to set up various accounts at the top
with distinct toolbars, such as a home toolbar and a distinct job toolbar.
Set “Work Hours”
- Now that you've set up
your office or work area, it's time to get literally down to company.
- If you're going to
create a day-to-day company from home, then set a particular company or
working hours.
- The beauty of working
from home is that you can set your own working hours flexibly.
- For instance, if
you're most productive in the morning, or if you need to get the kids off
the bus at 3:00 pm, then you might want to set your working hours from 7
am to 3 pm.
Avoid “Work Creep”
- Some individuals think
that in your private lives a home career job can be invasive.
- That's because if
you're continuously at home and close to your job, then you're going to
start creeping into your home life.
- Yes, the danger is
genuine, but only if you're allowed to ...
- This goes back to
setting hours of job. You can handle a good job timetable by setting
particular job hours and sticking to them every day.
- When the day of your
job is over, whether at 3, 4, 5 or 6 pm, shut down your laptop and shut
down your office door and leave it until the next day.
Get in-person time with
co-workers.
- The four-person
virtual team at Moreno Valley, a commercial telecom company based in California, meets
TelecomQuotes in person once a month.
- "I'm a large
believer in kinesthetic teaching or learning through doing, and with our
virtual globe that's a bit of a lost art," tells CEO Michael Bremmer.
- "There's
something about whiteboarding an idea, talking through the story, and
everyone is leaning in, engaged, thinking about a common goal, drawing on
deepwater thoughts, that you just don't seem to get into a conference call
or video call."
Enjoy your flexibility.
- Find a wavering focus? Take a bike ride break,
swim, or even leave the work for the whole day. According to Patti Hill,
Austin's founder and managing director, Penman PR based in Texas.
- "Because my
schedule of job can be as flexible as I need it to be, walking away is
sometimes essential," she suggests.
- "What a cool dip
can do on a warm day to help increase creative juices is incredible."
Make a stoplight for family
members
- Here's a concept from
John Meyer, Miramar's CEO, Arise Virtual Solutions, Florida-based
work-at-home call center firm.
- On your office door,
hang or tape colored building paper. "Tape the red
light when you can't get disturbed and the green light when it's OK to get
in. A yellow light means first check," he tells. "Children,
regardless of their era, comprehend the message and enjoy playing
along."
Be clear about your working
hours
- "Place your hours
of operation at your door, as with any office, and stick to them.
- Specify your hours of
operation on your voicemail and refer the caller to your phone of
residence if it is personal," Says Denise Beeson, Small Business
Lending Officer and Santa Rosa Jr. Business Instructor. College,
California, Santa Rosa.
Exercise
- Take a lunch break and
go for a walk if your day enables, go to the gym or stretch.
- Naturally, exercise
boosts endorphins, which boost rates of happiness, pleasure, and interest,
all of which are essential to productivity.
- If you're a jogger or
a gym-goer early in the morning, then work it into your daily routine.
- And if you want to
practice a habit, or become an early morning practice, but struggle
to get out of bed, set an alarm through the room so you're compelled to
get out of bed to shut it off.
Save calls for the
afternoon.
- Sometimes in the
morning, I'm so tired, I don't even want to hear my own voice— let
alone speak with it to others.
- You shouldn't have to
give yourself too much time to be productive in the morning, but before
working directly with others, you can give yourself some extra time.
- If you as a
telecommuter struggle to come up with a sensible job timetable, begin with
the morning solitary duties.
- When you've formally
"woken up," save phone calls, conferences, and other cooperative
work.
