Become a work from home businessman. Quit your 9-5 job and start living a LIFE.
Continuing from the previous post Top 30 Tips for Staying Productive and Sane While Working From Home- Part I
16. Watch your music
Select the music carefully because it affects your mood. So choose songs that make you happy. A good mood is very important for you.
17. No TV
TV actually wastes your working time and reduces the actual time you work and the amount of work. Anyway you do not watch TV in your office! Right?
18. Have a good lunch
A good lunch is also helpful to keep you satisfied and motivated to work more and better.
19. No Internet
No Internet means no email checking every now and then. If you are working online, then you will definitely need the Internet. But avoid email checking and browsing different sites.
20. Fix your personal online time
Set some time for your personal online work such as personal mail checking, browsing etc.
21. Don’t work an eight hour day
Depends on the work you do. If you are in the initial stage of starting your home business, then you may need to work 10 hours also. Once it is set then reduce the number of hours.
22. Perform specific tasks in specific days
Certain works are better done on a specific day. If Friday is your last working day, then wrap up the work that day. File the necessary files and documents, put a out of office message in your email etc.
23. Sound Canceling Headphones
It can help in a great way if there is too much noise during your work time.
24. Set boundaries for those around you
As you fix the work time, let your family and friends know that you will not be available from this time to that time and on these days.
25. Talk to your accounts
Check your account very often. Your work means money so be careful to find out how much you are earning and how much spending. Accounts will tell you how much more you need to earn.
26. Don’t allow work to consume your life
A balance between your work and leisure should be there to save you from going insane and to become more productive.
27. Track your time
Tracking your time is very much important to find out how your time is going. It will help you to cut on wasted time as well as become more productive. A simple watch and even a software can be helpful here.
28. Make time for people
People and relationships are very much necessary for both your personal life and professional life. Networking is very much important for a home-based business.
29. Know when to stop
Very important point. You should know when to stop. Fix a starting and finishing time.
30. Say thank you a lot
This will help you to manage the personnel front. Whether it is your personal friends, associates or business partners, customers, a thank you can help you to get more out of it.
BONUS
31. Be grateful you’re working from home and not in some cubicle
Most important and interesting point. If you have this though in mind, then you will never fail in your home-based business or home business.
