You CAN Achieve Balance While Working From Home!

One would think working from home is the perfect dream, but for many women entrepreneurs it can become a nightmare. Being home, surrounded by potential chores all day, can really take its toll on our psyche (and our productivity!) Distractions range from our favorite daytime TV programs just a click away, to the calling of a sunny day, to the arrival of our children and husbands.

Here are some tips for keeping your sanity while working from home:

• Cut back on raiding the kitchen for snacks.

• Keep the TV off.

• Schedule time for chores to avoid distractions during the day.

• Know when to step away from the office and spend time with your family.

• Take one extra day off a month for “me” time.

• Eat lunch away from your workspace to clear your mind.

• Schedule dates with your spouse and kids.

• Have a bucket list and enjoy yourself every once in a while.

• Keep your work space and your fun space separate.

• Consider delegating when work becomes too busy.

• Learn to say “No”… You don’t need to take every single project.

• Eat healthy foods, schedule time for exercise and get your rest!
