Work at Home Routines are Important
From CourierPostOnline:
If you think everybody who works from home wears PJ’s and sneaks in housework, Jeff Korona and Cynthia Kidder are here to prove you wrong. These home-based workers make it a point to look and act professional — even though there’s no one around to judge.
It takes some discipline, but Korona and Kidder say it’s doable if you follow a few rules:
Dress for work. There’s no time to be a slob. Take a shower and look like you’re going somewhere.
“I rarely wear blue jeans to work in my house,” said Kidder, 51, founder of the nonprofit Band of Angels, which advocates for people with Down syndrome. “There’s something about being in jeans and a T-shirt that makes it too easy to throw in a load of laundry.”
Set a routine and stick to it. Just like in the office, there should be a certain time of day when things get done.
“Every morning, I clear my e-mail,” said Korona, 46, president of re.Source Partners, a computer hardware asset management company. “I contact my partner with a morning call and then contact clients who need attention. I stick with the same routines as if I were in the office.”
