Set Your Office Hours

If you are working from home it is essential that you set specific hours that you work. Let your family know your schedule and ask that they not disturb you during that time if possible. Be sure to schedule breaks -- not just to play with your kids, it's also a great time to throw on a load of laundry or vacuum a room. Get fully dressed before you start work for the day (this actually helps you stay focused and accomplish more.) Stay on task during our office hours but also quit when it's time. It is important to set boundaries both for your family and yourself.
