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.
