Working at Home Not Always Convenient

by Mary Emma Allen on June 20th, 2008

Working at home, although it’s your dream, does have some drawbacks.  Consider them and how you can overcome them.

*Friends and family often don’t take you seriously.

*Children frequently  interrupt.

*You’re considered the “on-call” classroom mother for parties, reading stories, and volunteering.

*You find it easy to get distracted by work around the house or simply take too many breaks.

*There is no boss to keep you on a schedule.

*Your work area often is confiscated for family projects.

These need not detract you from your desire to work at or from home, whether it’s working online, offline, or both.  Be aware that distractions and demands will occur.  Set up a plan to overcome them.
