It is getting more and more common for moms who work at home, giving them the luxuries of flexibility with time.
This article hopes to share seven tips with work from home moms about how to conduct business from home.
1.
Buy supplies in double quantities so that you will not have to dash out in the middle of a project to buy an item you have run out of.
2.
To distinguish between your business and personal life, "dress" for work.
Do not sit around in your bathrobe all day.
3.
"Walk to work".
Walk around the block and back home.
You will get a little morning exercise, and you will arrive at your "office" in a more businesslike frame of mind that is refreshed and ready for work.
4.
Maybe no one will see your office, but clutter can draw on your energy.
Throw out dead plants, close closet doors, banish the cat from your desktop.
5.
Be firm with people who interrupt.
Because you are at home, others may not take your work as seriously as compared to when you go to an office.
6.
Handle interruptions just as you would at an office - tell others when you will be free.
If friends call during working hours, resist the temptation to socialize.
Arrange to call them back later.
7.
Ideally, your home office should be in a separate room.
However, if one is not available, choose a corner that will belong to you and you alone.
If necessary, invest in partitions to separate yourself psychologically from the rest of the house.
In selecting an area, consider whether there is enough space for a desk and other equipment.
