I’m reading this and thinking that it sounded like something from the HOME WORK podcast. Then I checked to see who was ripping them off… oh, it’s David Caolo that’s ok then…

Good tips. One additional tip I’d suggest is having a regular working schedule. I think it’s too easy to blur the lines between work time and personal time, when you work from home. Having a schedule helps me to be more focused and create better work/life balance.

My fiduciary work/vocation is a bedside nurse in an ICU – I don’t want this work at home! However, your definition of “home work” opened my eyes to the fact I manage/care for a Beagle sanctuary of up to 17 dogs in my home. While at the computer, I usually have a furry Dachshund friend (some Beagles come in weird shapes) on my lap, I’m still doing the serious yet joyful business of saving dog lives in my home office and work, human lives at my hospital work. I’ll be using some of your suggestions. Thank you.

Good advice. Corresponds pretty much to what I did when I worked from home for a couple of years. My only differences were I dressed casually, and in fact usually didn’t get out of my pjs until my morning coffee break. And I had a senior cat companion who would like at my feet and occasionally meow for belly rubs. You sure can’t do that in an office!

Thanks for this post. I’m struggling to get used to working at home and this gives me a framework to … well, work from … to improve things.

I work in Silicon Valley and go to the office every day but also work from home before/after hours (global position) but I follow a lot of your tips.

My biggest tip is that all of my technology is synced (using iCloud) so my iPhone, iPad, laptop, desktop all have the same info on them at the same time. I can run out and do errands with just my phone and still have anything I could possibly need.

When we had to replace our detached garage we added a detached office to the new garage (about 12′x25′) and I love it. We put in French doors (salvaged) and the office faces my garden. We put in ceiling fans so no need for AC or heat (Bay Area).

It’s about 25 feet from the back door of the house but just that little walk to the “office” means I don’t have to look at unfinished dishes or listen to DH watching a movie or whatever and I can really focus.

And I usually get a furry visitor or two who enjoy sitting in the sun or on my laptop

Excellent tips and follow most to a greater or lesser degree. The backup plan for days that the home is unusable is essential and the advice to have a ready made list of essential equipment and how it will be transported is invaluable.

number 6 is the one I follow least – If I am working well in shorts tee and day old stubble I tend to just carry on – obviously doesn’t apply if clients are in the picture).
