One major hurdle working at home is going to provide you is how
do you get things done. I’m talking about accomplishing things
everyday working for yourself just like you would if you were a
job with a boss to answer to. Here are some tips to help you get
things done everyday while working at home.1. At the end of the day write a list of what you need to get
done tomorrow. It is understandable that things change everyday,
but this should be your starting point. Writing it down and
reading it before tomorrow offers some sort of magical formula
for success. When it is written down you know it needs to be
done. No excuses.2. Try and run office hours for yourself. Granted working at
home offers you the ability to come and go as you please, but if
you do not work a set number of hours every week you will not
make any money. This may change from day to day, but take a look
at what demands are on your time from friends and family in
advance and then stick to the work schedule you set up in for
yourself.3.. Control distractions as much as possible. If the television
pulls you away from getting thins done turn it off. If your home
office has a window that you find yourself staring out all day,
maybe you should close the blinds.4. Have a set of yearly, monthly, weekly and daily goals for
your business at home. Work towards hitting these whatever they
are. Break them down into things like make a certain amount of
money today. Work 30 hours every week. Spend 10 hours on
promoting or networking myself and my business.5. Crank up the fun o’meter a little bit. Do you know how many
people wish they were you. You do not have to battle traffic
everyday on your way to work. You have no boss looking over your
shoulder telling you what to do all day long. You may not
realize it right now, but you are living the American Dream of
being self employed. Have fun!These are just a few tips to help you get more done everyday.
Working at home offers so many good things for you if you do it
right. Surprisingly many people fall into the trap of just plain
not working enough. To avoid that try and follow all of these
tips. Disciplining yourself to get things done and knowing what
you need to do is important to your success. You can do it.
