How to Work From Home and Enjoy Life
By Lorraine Pirihi
How would you like to have at least an extra hour in your day just for yourself so that you can
have more fun? When you work from home there can be a tendency to work longer hours due to the flexibility that you
have.
If you work from home, these ideas if implemented consistently will free up your time so that you
can enjoy more of your life.
Look After Yourself First
Exercise regularly and eat healthily. Do the right thing by yourself and you'll have heaps of
energy, be motivated, more productive and happier.
Surround Yourself with Positivity
Circulate with positive people, read motivational books and listen to motivational tapes/cds while
driving, going for a walk or waiting for appointments. Avoid negative people like the plague. They will drain your
energy.
Clean out the Clutter
You will save yourself heaps of time, energy, space and money if you clear out your home
environment…paperwork, books, old equipment etc. regularly. You'll be able to find things, save money because you
won't have to buy what you already have hidden somewhere, plus you'll be less stressed. You'll feel better which
will make you happier.
Jazz Up Your Environment
If you work and live in a pleasant environment, you'll naturally feel better and happier. A clean,
uncluttered home office makes you feel good and happy to be there.
Dress for Success
When you look good, you feel good, when you feel good you are happier. Have an image makeover. Even
though you work from home, if you dress well to suit your lifestyle, it will make a difference to how you and
everyone else see you.
Plan Time For Fun
With so much to organise in your busy life you need to record your appointments, things to do and
goals somewhere. Use a paper diary or digital organiser that you can take everywhere. This is the most effective
way to get things done, plan your work and your life. When you work from home it is easy to get bogged down with
work and not have planned time out.
Learn to say "No"
To dramatically improve your productivity and do more of the things you want in your life, you have
to be firm with others and let them know if you cannot, will not or are unavailable to fulfil their requests.
Neighbours, family and friends can have the mistaken belief that because you work from home you are not really
working.
If you constantly say "yes" to everyone else's requests you will never have the time to do what you
really want to. Book yourself into a self-assertiveness course to learn these skills if you feel you need to.
Do What You Do Best and Delegate the Rest
See if there are ways you can delegate tasks which would suit someone else's talents. Many people
spend heaps of time on mundane secretarial tasks which would take a person who is trained in that area a quarter of
the time to undertake.
At home hire a gardener and cleaner to take care of the basic household chores. It's worth
investing the extra dollars if you can have more free time to do what you want to.
Compliment Someone Every Day
How do you feel when you receive a compliment? Make someone's day…give before you get because what
goes around, comes around. Go out each day, even if it's to the local shops so that you can talk to people.
The Final Word
By following these simple yet very effective ideas you can really enjoy the benefits you can
experience when you work at home. You'll feel good, look good and have more time to enjoy your life… and when
you're enjoying life, you're happy!
So how does someone decide which home business is right for them? Research is the key by reading honest articles
from a variety of sources. This web site seeks to collect a host of ideas and opinions on a variety of
business ideas that your can read and assess for yourself.
Good luck - live long and prosper!
