Working From Your Home!

Working From Your Home!

Yes, working from your home is no longer a novel idea – almost everyone is doing it! And if not on a full-time basis, then surely as a part-time project. I am sure the thought may have crossed your mind as well, I know it has mine.

Let’s see what this contributed article has to say about the benefits or suggestions about working from home!

Running A Business While Working From Home!

It can be such a simple thing to work from home – especially when you work for someone else. And then when you’re self-employed you get all those extra bonuses like managing your own wage and hours, you can structure your day how you want, wear what you want and never have to deal with a work commute further than moving down around the house.

However, you are still at work, and managing a business when you’re surrounded by distractions and have to enforce your own deadlines and daily structure can be tricky. Which is why we have compiled a few tips and tricks on running a business while working at home.

Home Office

Having a dedicated space just for you to do your work is so important to separate your work life and your home life. The balance between the two can blur so easily when you work for yourself and from home, and it’s just so easy to keep working on a project into the evening.

There is no bringing work home because your work is already there and you need to be able to distance yourself from it at the end of the day. A home office is a perfect space for you to go into work mode; there’s no TV or piles of washing to distract you and help you to procrastinate. It’s also a space that your family knows is for work and so they won’t come and disturb you constantly… hopefully.

Outsourcing

As your mini-empire grows you will start to get snowed under with projects and tasks that have nothing to do with the day to day running of your business – like maintaining a website and writing blogs.

Yes, those are vital things to the success of your business, but they are things that can easily be outsourced to a writer or web designer. If your business deals with a physical product, then you can look into outsourcing storage and delivery with companies like Distributors Terminal which will save you space, time and hopefully money.

Work Attire

Getting dressed for work really puts you in the mood for working – it’s one of the proven facts of the positives of school uniform. It works with office wear or work uniforms too. If you’re a mechanic, the clothes you wear to the garage every day are your uniform – if you wore a suit to fix a car you would feel uncomfortable and out of your normal zone. So, when getting up for a work day, dress as if you’re going to work and not stay in your yoga pants and a ragged t-shirt.

Structure

You need to enforce a structure. Set yourself hours of the day to work, with planned breaks and lunch. Mimic an office structure, but you also have the freedom to take a couple of mini-breaks when you need them. And make sure you take them – go outside, make a cup of tea, just move around and get out of your workspace.

A structured day helps you to plan out your tasks and to organize your day, which is something every successful business owner needs to be a pro at.
