How Do You Stay Focused?
I think it’s been discussed here on occasion–how working from home can sometimes feel like you’re in a messy black hole; thoughts go through your head about how neat and structured corporate life is compared to this. This is what my to do list looks like today:
- Bank
- Blog Fabulous
- Landscaper
- Photo prints
- Phone company
- Printer
- The Pet Set marketing
- Dishes|Dinner
I called the landscaper and that turned in to a 30 minute discussion about retainer walls. Meanwhile, I have to get some heavy lifting done in terms of marketing/sales for The Pet Set…or should I post a blog…maybe the dishes…what should I make for dinner tonight…oh, you know what? the dog needs a brushing…need to get some marketing done for The Pet Set…printer, I need to find a printer….maybe the office needs to be redecorated…
Doesn’t sound very focused to you? One of the beauty parts about working from home is that you can find a way to balance your life. I have found a way to have the house things co-exist with the business things on the same list. Something I would not have been able to do in corporate life…heck commuting took up 35% of the day! And did you notice, taking a shower is not on the list yet…’cause that’s optional…lol.
Ok…time to make more tea.
