Tips for Working from Home Part 3: Everything Else

«Your business is your story, and the beauty of entrepreneurship is that you get to tell it however you want.»

«Freelancing can’t always be about the work. If you want to enjoy this lifestyle and avoid burnout, don’t forget to keep a close eye on how you approach your family, social life, and well-being.»

We've got 5 tips for taking care of your life

while working from home:

Tip 1

Family time is not work time.You’ve got to learn how to keep work and family separate.

Focus on quality in both work and your home life… after all, isn’t that why you’re working from home in the first place?

Tip 2

Take that work elsewhere.A wonderful way to avoid utter isolation and still meet those deadlines is co-working. Being able to sit at a table with someone in the same boat as you, someone with deadlines and responsibilities and a thirst for occupational freedom is both extremely motivating and a huge relief.

Tip 3

Include household management in your schedule.Allow yourself a few blocks of time to take care of necessary domestic duties so that you don’t have to pay your bills at night or use your precious weekend time doing next month’s budget.

Tip 4

Go to a conference.Find a gathering of people who do what you do, or one that is centered around something you’d like to learn about.

Even if you’re quiet, you’re going to find someone to talk to, and this can lead to new friends, new perspectives, and even new clients.

Tip 5

Give nature a big high-five.Go outside. Get in touch with nature.

Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a power nap in your hammock, temporarily escaping the glow of your computer is a fantastic way to shake things up and push your body’s “reset” button.

Don’t get caught in a courtroom... with a contract that’s not legally binding.
