Working from home…

December 2, 2008

An interesting piece here from the TechRepublic blog about working from home as many early stage entrepreneurs do.

Here’s is the list:

1: Dress the part

2: Keep a separate office

3: Discipline yourself regarding break times

4: Discipline yourself regarding snacking

5: Check insurance

6: Educate and set guidelines for the family

7: Establish start and stop times

8: Use a separate phone line for business

9: Clarify computer ownership and policies

10: Check zoning if necessary

11: Keep in touch with the boss

So #11 may not apply when you work for yourself, but it’s equally important to keep in touch with partners, vendors and customers.  Working from home can be a cocooning experience and these rules do help.   Still, co-working spaces are a decent alternative, even if you only do so part of your working week.
