[List]How To Manage A Business From Home
The age-old question – how does one manage a business from home – AND still maintain the line between the two amicably. Managing a business from the comfort of your own home can sound like a dream come true, but when you’re trying to remain motivated, it can also be a source of distraction. Here are a few ways to manage a business from home.
Block Distractions With Apps
Distractions can cause us to avoid doing our work for minutes and even hours. When we hit a brick wall, we naturally look for something to do to procrastinate. These tend to be our social media accounts and perhaps a little online shopping. During your working day, though, you should consider this as being something you wouldn’t really do at work, so block these distractions where you can.
Your working hours will be different when running your own business.
There are plenty of apps that you can get that will do wonders for you by helping block those sites you want to avoid completely. You can set timers and points at which you can allow access, like when you’re on a lunch break or once you’ve finished your working day.
Try To Go Out For Meetings
When it comes to business meetings, avoid having them at home because this can be your opportunity to socialize and speak to others directly, rather than having to do it all over the phone, by email or by video conference. Take your suppliers or your clients to shared spaces or meet them at their offices.
By doing this, you’re likely to get a better relationship out of those you work with and that can come in handy when you need help or a good deal on your battery vent caps for instance, if this is your business.
Keep Your Business To One Room
When working from home, it’s very easy to make every room into your business and as your home is meant to be a place to relax, that’s never going to end well. If you are moving around from room to room, then all your spaces will be associated with the business and that can be unhealthy to have.
Try to keep your business to one room at all times and if you’re tempted, keep other doors shut, so that you don’t do it. If you’re moving to another room, it’s because it might not currently be as comfortable as it could be.
Set Your Working Hours
Your working hours will be different when running your own business, because you might not be restricted to how much or how little you need to work. So it’s worth it to try and set your working hours as best you can.
That might not always be the same every day but knowing when to start and end your day is important, so that you’re not overworking yourself and getting ill. You also want to be able to have a good work life balance anyway and so setting your hours is going to help with this.
Not knowing how to manage a business from home can be difficult. But by using these tips, you’ll find the process a lot easier. So set those work hours, avoid distractions and keep the business to the one room.
