Working From Home … Efficiently!

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 25% of all employed Americans do some or all their work from home.

It has its bonuses: low overhead, no commute, flexible schedule and reduced daycare costs. However, at-home employees can get distracted by household tasks, procrastinate and lack creative collaborations.

Tips for at-home efficiency:

• Develop and follow a timed schedule

• Schedule household tasks on breaks

• Pack a lunch so you don’t overindulge

• Schedule conference calls regularly with co-workers/clients/vendors

• Create a real office space

Follow these directives and you’ll optimize your workload from the comfort of home.
