According to a recent study, 15% of US citizens said they work from home at least one day a week. Working at home can be both a blessing and a curse. After all, just think about the time you save when your commute is from one room of your apartment to another - not to mention the cost savings. But, on the other hand, you don’t have anyone to stand around the water cooler with, talking about last night’s Gossip Girl. Today and next week, we’ll give you some tips on keeping sane and productive at the same time when your castle is also your office.
If you don’t have an extra room for an office, carve out space for your office that you only use for work – maybe it’s a corner of your bedroom. This will also help keep you organized and keep the crumbs off your work papers.
Alternatively, you may find that, with your office omnipresent, you are always working. Set “work” hours can help keep you focused. Established hours will also let your co-workers and others know when they can expect to reach you. Of course, just like an office job, there are always times where duty requires additional hours or different times. Here is where the flexibility of working from home can really help – you’ll be there for the UPS guy!
