The Importance of Creating Office Hours and Sticking to Them
Working from home gives us so many advantages and one of them is being able to set our own hours. The key to success is actually setting those hours and sticking to them.
It is not essential that all of your hours are combined in a row, but you must stick to the ones you make. I get up and work online from 6am-7:30am and then get my daughter on the bus. I home school my other daughter until 12:00 pm. Then I work online from 12-2:30 pm. when my little one gets home from school. I give my kids attention until dinner is through and then I work online again from 5-7:30 pm. The key is to stick to this schedule and let my kids know that is mommy’s work time.
If all of your kids attend school you could then devout from 8:30am-2:30 pm un-interrupted. So take a look at your current schedule and see when you can fit your work hours in. I suggest anyone from home devote at least 5 hours per day to work their business.
If you try to just get by day to day chances are you are not going to accomplish all that you set out to do. You will also be more likely to respond to distractions and get off track. Organization is key! Set some office hours today.
