If it migrates partly to the kitchen, den etc it can feel like work is taking over your<br />home.<br /><br />I like your idea of doing something to signal the beginning and end of the work "day". And make sure the job doesn't leak into your Home Time. Time boundaries are important.<br /><br />Set employer phone call boundaries (to yourself) and honor them. A good employer will<br />honor them too but you may have to do a little reminding.<br /><br />Take breaks during your work. Walk outside, take lunch away from the computer, give yourself time away<br />from the job just like you were in<br />an office.<br /><br />Let your family and friends know that you work from this time to that. It's amazing how folks who'd never think to call you at work feel free to call to chat when you work at home. <br /><br />You are so lucky to work from home!<br />Looking forward to sharing your adventures...Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171722283192592103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19241214.post-74610110310796633482010-09-26T08:31:25.614-04:002010-09-26T08:31:25.614-04:00I had the good fortune to be allowed to take probl...I had the good fortune to be allowed to take problem calls from home when I worked for the local Gas Works in L.A. Saved me from having to get dressed and drive 12 miles in the middle of the night when one of my programs took a dump! I really loved being able to debug the problem in my jammies! I also have a friend who is a contract programmer in N. Dakota, working 60 hours a week for a company in Calif. It's doable, and I'm with you... those extra hours you don't have to commute are priceless! Hope it works well for you!Judy Sall Fiber Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172226619205640720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19241214.post-80842465355948122232010-09-25T19:59:37.032-04:002010-09-25T19:59:37.032-04:00OMG the horridatious babyface i love--and the feat...OMG the horridatious babyface i love--and the feather brained bums at the end too!!!!arleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036114069539254266noreply@blogger.com
