Reduce working from home strategies

Shutbout distractions from the rest of your home by setting up an office space where you can separate work-life from home-life when needed

When you need to schedule meetings, avoid the stress of having business visitors in your home by meeting at a location outside of your home.

If your home is small, consider creating a separate work area outside your luring area. Possible ideas are a sunroom or a storage shed. Strage sheds are inexpensive and do not require building permits in many areas.

Set clear boundaries pertaining to word day, hours, and places of work. When your work day is done, hang it up and spend time with your friends, family, and loved ones (or hobbies and television).

Let neighbors know when your "do not disturb" hours are to discourage the daily "pop in" because they know you are working from home. Let them know how distractions hurt your business.

Hire an assistant, a virtual assistant, lawn service, housekeeping service, etc., so you can focus on your own work.
