Chapter 4 - Tips For Moms: Making It Work From Home
Internet marketing moms who work from home face a special set of challenges: balancing work with family. In this chapter you‘ll learn how to meet those challenges and conquer the most common problems WAHMs (work-at-home moms) face.
Claiming Your Space
You need "you" space to make your business work. Creating a space that‘s meant just for work allows you to separate business from family. One of the most common difficulties home entrepreneurs face is the inability to escape from work. After all, everything is right there, and there is always something that needs to be done. On the flip side, another common problem is the temptation to stop working to wash dishes, start some laundry, walk the dog, watch just one daytime television show, or other insert-excuse-here distraction. You must draw the line, and having a dedicated work space helps tremendously.
Corner Or Room It's All Yours
If it‘s at all possible, you should have a separate room dedicated to your home office. Spare bedrooms, basement rec rooms, or even attic space can be transformed into a functioning home office. Depending on your type of business, you may not need much more than a computer and a desk. If you don‘t have a spare room, you can still have a home office. Set up your work area in a corner or half of another room. Living rooms, studies or dens are your best bets for a corner office. If you have a large kitchen, you may be able to set up there. However, you should avoid taking your work into the bedroom if you can. When your work space is located in your sleep space, you may have difficulties sleeping as your body begins to equate "bedroom" with "work."
The major advantage to having a dedicated home office room is the ability to shut the door and leave your work behind it to concentrate on family. However, if you have a corner office space, you can still physically separate it from the rest of the house. Place curtains, bed sheets or folding screens around your work area to delineate your office space so you can walk away at the end of the day.
