Staying Sane While Working @ Home
Don't let lengthy hours in your home office cut you off from friends and family. In its feature story archive, Business@Home offers "The Six-Minute 10-tip Survival Guide" to working at home.
Avoid isolation by meeting a friend for lunch or taking the spouse and kids to an afternoon movie. Go for a walk every day. Keep a daily journal to keep track of your hours and limit your work time.
Schedule some down time for the real world. Business, personal or social, it should all go in the same appointment book. Invest in comfortable, ergonomic office equipment.
Set boundaries to let people know that working at home doesn't mean you're the on-call neighborhood parent. Give back by seeking volunteer opportunities that fit into your lifestyle and interests.
