Stay Focused While Working at Home

Everyone has some preconceived notions about working at home that are probably incorrect. Do you picture yourself working in pajamas every day? Drinking fresh-brewed coffee and eating a homemade breakfast? Getting work done with positively no distractions whatsoever? Still having time to lounge about and get housework done? Working whenever you want to, however you want to? Well, all these things can be true for some people. None will be true for all. Working from home is often much, much harder than working in an office. While you may think your distractions will be eliminated because there aren’t any co-workers to pop their heads into your office with questions or gossip, your home contains many more distractions than your workplace. Think about that pile of laundry in the hall. Think about the stack of dishes in the sink. You’ll pass by that DVR filled with shows you’ve recorded. You may have other hobbies or interests that distract you. Face it: there are no knitting needles or woodworking tools at work. It’s a distraction-free space for you to get work done. Here are some tips to help your home life mimic the workplace.

  1. Set up your own workspace.
    You need some place free of distraction where you can go in and accomplish work. Your brain will associate that part of the house with work time. If you work in bed, on the couch, or at the kitchen table, your brain associates those parts of the house with other activities like sleeping, watching TV, or eating. NEVER work in bed, as you want your brain to associate your bed with a relaxed atmosphere. Work in bed and not only will you get tired, but you may find yourself lying awake at night worrying about your next deadline or project. Remove all distractions from that workspace.
  2. Make your family understand that they can’t bother you in your workspace.
    If you’re treating your home office like your workplace, a family member couldn’t walk in and ask if you’d seen the remote. When your home office door is closed, no contacting you except for emergencies.

Corporate Training Posibilities

For those that work from home, there seems to always be the search to find more opportunities. For some reason, the work at home mom or dad is always striving to never put all their eggs in one basket. This means that the hunt for plan B seems to always be in existence. For some, the new wave of telesummits, seminars, and training sessions seems to be the wave of the virtual future. This is especially true if you are an educator. Education has taken a hard hit by the economy and many teachers are turning to online education as a work at home opportunity. This is not just exclusive of teaching, but rather along the lines of corporate training. Many companies are now hiring or contracting work at home moms and dads, because this save on costs of having a physical business and having to pay overhead on that place of business.

Some of the big corporations that have taken on the idea of contracting out home workers include Microsoft, Dell, Jackson Hewitt, Nine West, and Abercrombie and Fitch to name just a few. For an educator, this means that they can team up with the companies that provide coverage for these large corporations, and begin to instruct the contracted agents on how to successfully work for these companies. For example, Microsoft contracted out its editorial jobs with at home worker for a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house editors. Corporate trainers trained the agents on how to operate and use the editorial software. The instructor is usually a classroom teacher, and the corporations like that because they feel like they are getting a better trained editor or agent. All of this work is done from the comfort of your own home, and with the use of basic technology, you can teach again.
