Working from home can be great for your lifestyle. The short commute flexible schedule cant be beat. Unfortunately working from home also its drawbacks, including blurring the lines of work and home life. So, how can you be sure you keep your personal interests and get a little me or family time?
1. Know when its time for a break.
Sure, flexibility is great, but being fluid with a work at home schedule can lead to a crash and burnout. There are times I am working away on a project, and I feel that heavy feeling. You know, when you know its time to step awaaaay from the laptop? When I dont listen to that, things can get ugly. Fast.
Do you ever feel that way? Maybe right now? Take a few minutes, take a walk, read a book, journal or even take the afternoon off.
2. Avoid this in the future, by setting a schedule you can live with.
Put yourself on the schedule, and seriously consider posting your hours in your office. I did this in a very official way recently. I always had my hours in my mind, but somehow typing them up, framing and hanging them shifted something in my mind. Small change, but now that schedule is in front of my eyes, and in my head. I am also less inclined to overdo it in the office.
Are you overdoing it in your home office? What can you do about it?
