Get the Most From Working At Home

The overall key to success when it comes to working from home is to remember your home is set-up for personal life, not professional.  So, if you're new to working from home, or if you're feeling burn out, about.com offers these ideas to stay on track.

  1. Set up a designated office.  Somewhere that when you walk into the space, it feels like "work."
  2. Designate one outside space as an alternate office or meeting space.  Some where like a coffee shop, or rent-by-the-hour office space.  This will offer a more professional experience for customers and clients.
  3. Avoid staying in your pajama's.  Getting dressed symbolizes the day has begun, and helps get you into work mode.
  4. Install a separate phone line.  If this is possible, it will allow you to answer the phone in a more professional manner.
  5. Protect yourself.  Make sure you have the latest anti-virus software and keep it updated.

Create work times for yourself and try to stick with them.  Of course the best part of working at home is the flexibility, but don't take advantage because you'll only hurt yourself.
