Managing a successful business from home requires discipline and self-motivation. The home is filled with distractions that eat up your time and reduce your productivity. How can you ensure you maximise your time when working before family life resumes?

Schedule Your Working Hours

Knowing when you are working is beneficial for you and your entire family. Set your working hours when your children are at school or in bed to ensure they cannot demand your attention. The benefit of working for yourself is that you do not have to commit to a traditional 9-5 but you must give yourself enough time to complete your work appropriately. Try to avoid over-working, as this will lead to burnout and a resentment of your business.

Write A Daily To Do List

Writing out your daily tasks will enable you to see your work at a glance. It will also give you a goal to work towards. Get into the habit of planning your to do list for the next day so you are ready to go as soon as you enter your office.

Socialise And Network

Don’t be tempted to continually log onto social sites and attend networking events. Instead, allocate time each day to catch up on emails, messages and interactions. Business networking is a great tool to acquire new leads and meet other people but too much networking can take you away from essential business tasks. When choosing to socialise, whether online or face-to-face, be mindful of the time you are spending so it doesn’t impact your productivity.

Take A Break

It can be so tempting to work solely on your business without taking a break, especially when you are excited about a particular project. Although you want to maximise the time you have to work, ensure you schedule some time out each week so you can focus on your personal needs. This will help to re-energise you, free up your thoughts and improve your concentration.
