Working at home can make it difficult to draw a line between work and home. But this is vitally important, especially when you business is very busy. It can be too easy to spend all day and evening at the computer and because you are home, forget that you have other responsiblities to the house and family. Make sure you set yourself a schedule. Turn off the computer at a certain time each day, take 30 minutes each morning to do a little house cleaning before getting down to work. If you have little ones running around playing while you work, make sure to take 2 minutes to read them a story when they toddle up with a book in hand. If you keep saying no, they will eventually stop asking. 2 minutes for a story will not hurt your business and will make a world of difference for your children.
If you find aspects of your work or clients frustrating, find forum where you can go in and vent. It is a great way to blow off steam before you take it out on the kids or husband.
Finally, take time each day to remind yourself why you work at home in the first place, and say thank you for the blessing you have received.
