I work from home, and it requires a lot of discipline especially when you have to wake up for the early morning meeting then wake your kids up for school
* You need to dedicate an area to be your office and come and leave it as if you had to commute to work.
* Go out and socialize! Especially for introverts, it's easy for us to neglect some social balance.
* At the end of the day, make sure you switch into activities which will 'switch' you off work and into something else (working out? Hobby? Kids homework?)
* Door on dedicated space.
* Pants. Or some other work like ritual to convince your brain you are 'going' to work.
Luckily i have my wife yo remind me at times. The pants part sounds interesting... ill try that for a week and see how it goes.
Socializing for me is usually lunch with friends, though I do have an officemate so there is some general banter there.
I.e. a way to provide the framework from the discipline in meeting up at work with the freedom from working from home.
Can't wait to share it here soon.
