From Office to HomeCopyright © Roderick Eash
http://www.TheEashSyndicate.comIf you have been in the business world, the transition from going to work in an office
every day to operating a home business may be quite astounding. After all, you are used
to getting up in the morning, dressing, and heading into a building to work, and now you
have no time clock to punch. Although that is a good thing for many, others may find the
transition quite difficult and see it as a reason to sleep in rather than get up early. Of
course, you aren't going to get up as early as you did when you had to drive to work, but
you still need to develop a schedule for yourself.
Another transition that may be difficult is that of making certain that friends and family
members understand you are still working and are not free to run their errands, babysit
their children, or go shopping with them during your working hours. That doesn't mean
that you can't go out to lunch on occasion because even with a home business, you will
take time out for lunch and a break from working. What you don't want to do is get into
the habit of doing more relaxing than working during the day or you will find yourself
seeming to work twenty-four hours a day trying to do what you should have done earlier
in the day.
Working at home after years of working in an office means that you must learn the
concept of time management. You no longer have someone telling you, directly or
indirectly, what to do at any given time. Even if your former position involved
supervision or management, you had to answer to someone else for your time. Now that
you have a home business, you have to plan your day based upon the workload that you
have with no one else to help you. It may take a little bit of time for you to perfect your
time management so that you know exactly how much you can accomplish in the time
frame that you have allotted for its completion. In the beginning, you may work longer
hours in order to accommodate that, but once you develop a system, you may be able to
work fewer hours than you did when you were working for someone else and make the
same or better pay.
The key to making a smooth transition from office to home office is to take it slowly so
that you don't take on more work than you can handle in the course of an eight-hour day.
You don't want to work more hours to accomplish the same thing you did when you were
out to work, so you need to learn how to work efficiently so that you will have more time
for yourself and your family.
