2. Let everyone know that these hours are set aside for work. You do not want to be distracted.You have office hours at home, just as if you were in a corporate office.
3. Have a place set aside as your “office” space where you do only work there.This is your designated workstation.
4. Set deadlines for what you do. If you have deadlines to meet, you have a guide to get your work done in a timely manner.
5. Set out specific times for breaks. Take a break every hour or so.Take a break form your computer. Walk around.Get a snack. You will be re-energized and focused.
