TIPS FOR CREATING A *SELF~EMPLOYMENT*/*WORK AT HOME SCHEDULE*

Your *Work At Home* Schedule can be very rewarding. Not only will you have more control over the types of projects you want to work on, you will also be able to set your own hours, which is great if you're a morning or a night person. But if you are having problems dealing with this type of freedom, if you feel you're not getting enough work done, at home during the day, or you feel you don't have enough time to spend with friends and family, you may need to look at how you're scheduling yourself and make changes if necessary.

Even though making a *Work At Home Schedule* seems constricting and it’s the kind of *Time Management* that you wanted to get away from when you left your previous job, creating a *Work At Home Schedule* can ironically give you more time during the day. Depending on the number of hours you want to work each day, you should create a *Work At Home Schedule* that outlines all tasks, the time it will take to complete all these tasks, and how long it will take to complete all the office work you may have including marketing, consultations, and filing.

After creating a *Work At Home Schedule*, figure out when you want to work. Do you want to work during the day or do you prefer the afternoon or evening? Depending on your work load
and other factors including your family life, you should choose the time that is most convenient for you and stick to it. Setting specific office hours if possible, is also recommended. After sticking with your *Work At Home Schedule* for a while, you may need to make changes in order to accommodate clients and other work related issues. Scheduling errands and activities is another way to get the most out of your work day.

Instead of taking time off each afternoon to go shopping or pick up the dry cleaning, you should choose one afternoon a week. You may also consider working a half day that day in order to complete all tasks on time. This will allow you to not feel guilty when getting a hair cut when you have a lot of work waiting for you at home. Creating a *Work At Home Schedule* can be beneficial~not only in reducing the number of hours you work each week, but for *Meeting Deadlines*, *Reducing Stress*, and maintaining a *Passion for your Work*. When work takes over your life, it's no longer FUN.

Taking some time away from your *Home Office* and going outside or seeing a movie enables you to enjoy your life. One of the reasons you decided to *Work From Home* was to give yourself more *free time*. If you notice that you have even less *free time*, it’s time to change your *Work At Home Schedule* so you can have the *Dream Career* you always wanted. For many people, *Working From Home* is a wonderful experience, but one that they worked very hard to achieve. Make sure you give it your best shot by Creating a *Self~Employment*/*Work At Home Schedule* that you and your Family can be very proud of!
