In the modern world, it is not necessary to work 8 hours in the office, spend time on the road and think about what to wear today. Programmers, accountants, designers, translators, journalists, tutors, psychologists, tailors, hairdressers and nail designers increasingly prefer to work at home and have a free schedule. But to keep your work at home productive, be sure to organize it properly.
Instructions
Step 1
Arrange a workspace. If possible, allocate a separate room for work. This will help you fully concentrate on work and your loved ones will not bother you. In addition, a separate room is a must if you plan to host clients at home. Or equip a small corner where you can work without being distracted by extraneous matters. This can be a kitchen, bedroom, living room.
Step 2
Purchase the equipment you need to work - a computer, a printer (if you are, for example, an accountant, programmer or designer), a desk, a sofa or an armchair for clients. Don't over-domesticate your workplace. First of all, it should set you up for work. In order not to run to the kitchen every time for a cup of tea, set aside a cupboard for a kettle and tea accessories.
Step 3
Plan your work day daily. Depending on your workload, make an approximate work schedule. Lack of control and rigid boundaries is a plus for working from home, but you need to maintain discipline and organization yourself, to control yourself. Find out what is the best watch for you to work with. Perhaps it is in the morning when everyone is asleep, in the afternoon when no one is at home. Leaving all work for the evening is not very effective, because during the day you will get tired of household chores, which will affect the quality and speed of work. If you have young children, be prepared for the fact that you will have to regularly switch to their problems. The smaller the children, the more attention they require. In this case, work while the baby sleeps during the day.
Step 4
Agree with other family members about the division of responsibilities. Just because you work from home doesn't mean that you now have to do all your homework. To make money, you need to work.
Step 5
Get some rest in time. Allow yourself to take regular breaks from work to eat lunch, take a nap, watch TV, or just hang out with loved ones. Set timelines for breaks, otherwise it will be difficult for you to get back to work.
