Make The Most Of A Flexible Schedule

freelance-pano_23566Working from home can be tough. Without the structure or the camaraderie of office mates, it’s easy to feel disconnected or to let work run your life. If you have a flexible schedule, consider these three things to make your work life easier:

  • Clearly delineate your workday. Make a schedule and stick to it. Without boundaries between work and non-work time, you’ll feel guilty if you’re not at your desk.
  • Start your day right. When you don’t have to clock in by 9, it’s tempting to fritter your time away. Make your mornings time for work to get a jump on the day.
  • Give yourself time off. Working alone can be intense. Don’t feel guilty about not working a full 8-hour day. Do what you need to get your work done and then clock out.
