Rules Of Working From Home
1. It's still an office - a converted separate room, dedicated to work is by far the most successful place to work efficiently.
2. Design, design design - make sure everything is to hand - computer, phone, scanner - and that it works efficiently.
3. Don't become a hermit - We all take office banter for granted, but we need social interaction to keep things in perspective.
4. Be flexible - control your working hours, don't be a slave to them. Taking time out in the afternoon and working in the evening is fine.
5. Draw a line - keep work, play and chores separate. Don't be tempted to do housework or go shopping ‘just because you are there.' |
