Can You Separate Your Family Life From Your Home Office Life?
Owing a home-based business is a great idea.
You get to work your own hours.
Work when you want to.
Your office is at your home.
Take a break whenever.
But they're something that happens when you work from home.
You really work from home.
You don't go anywhere nor do you get out of the house.
I have learned that some home-based business owners don't even leave the house for weeks.
I have on client, her name is Susan and she has not stepped out of the house for a month.
When she needs consultation, I meet her out for lunch.
For her good more than mine.
I've learned in coaching people about their home-based business, that they have to learn to separate business life and home life.
I've seen people work from an 8-hour job to a 17-hour job, just by working from home.
They forget to clock out on a daily basis and they mix the family life into their work life.
That is not a good thing.
Working from home is a great thing if you teach yourself when to clock in and when to clock out.
Working from home saves you a lot of money but sometime that saving of money can get in the away if you don't teach yourself on how to separate that work from home.
So my suggestions and in working with people on this subject is that if you work from home.
Still clock in and clock out.
Teach yourself how to do that.
That has never stopped from your work ethics.
When you clock out from your home-based business.
Then leave it alone until your next working day.
Go for a walk; meet family and friends for lunch.
Get an out of the house activity going.
There is a lot of the part of the country you live in.
Start to explore.
Family life needs to be separated, not mixed with working from home.
If you have to go or take someone to the doctor on that day, schedule it like normal and clock out while you do your errand.
Once you have completed your task, then clock back in.
If you feel, that working from home, cannot not be separated, then working from home is not for you.
It takes a lot of discipline in doing so.
You have to really get up and get dress and go to work, even if your commute is only 10 seconds away.
When it's time to quit.
It's time to quit.
If your discipline enough to work from home, then do it, if you do not have the discipline to separate the two then don't.
