So, you have decided to take that plunge and give up that day job for a better life of working from home. The problem is, is it seems that there are just too many distractions to get anything done. Between the children, the housework, the TV, the phone ringing and the Interment, how does one get away from these distractions to get any work done?
The problem with working from home is that many people treat it more like a hobby than they do a job. When working outside the home, you have a certain time that you must punch in to work and a certain time when you can go home. You wouldn’t come in when you feel like it and leave when you want, right? Of course not. That’s a good way to lose your job. So, why not treat your work at home job the same way. Schedule yourself certain hours when you know you are able to work and stick with those hours! Treat your work at home job as you would any other job. After all, this is going to pay your bills so treat it with respect.
The other very dangerous thing that can happen is since you are working online most of the day, there is the distinct possibility that you can get a little bit distracted. For example, I have found myself looking up pre and post op beauty treatments (I am a little bit obsessed with all of those reality shows) and I have found some real winners! Although looking at this tattoo removal before and after pics, I think the bottom one would have been better off just staying with the original tattoo!
