Working From Home - Get the Balance Right

By working from home, you can:

· Be your own boss
· Have flexible working hours to fit your work around the family routine
· Save time and money by saying goodbye to your daily commute to work
· Enjoy a wider variety of work
· Become more efficient
· Enjoy better health as a result of avoiding contagious colleagues
· Get away from office politics
· Experience an improvement in your quality of life

However, working from home does have its drawbacks. You can end up working for longer hours, feel cut off, suffer from a lack of self-motivation and become irritated by distractions like housework, pets and family members.

So, as well as pursuing a positive work ethic, you must also find a balance between family life and work life.

Home-based business stress-management tips:

Pick a place to work
Don’t let your workspace intrude on your family life

Turn off the phone
When your workday is over, switch off the phone and turn your attention to your partner and your children

Don’t burn the candle at both ends
Trying to do business while worrying about your family or vice versa will only make you less effective at either task – when it is time to be a parent, be there for your family and it will give you the confidence you need to be professional in your work
