One of the most kick ass things about being an entrepreneur is that you’re the boss. Want a couple
of hours off in the afternoon? Check with the boss
– she said it’s okay! Because she’s you, and you do
what you want. You might find that you are super
productive when you first wake up, not so much in
the afternoon, and then again in the evening. Go
with it! There’s no point in fighting city hall.
2. DO THE THINGS THAT CAUSE
YOU DISTRACTION DURING YOUR
NON-PRODUCTIVE TIMES.
If you naturally tend to slack off in the afternoon,
that’s a great time to get some of those tasks
around the house done. Throw in laundry, take the
dog for a walk, or hell, take a nap if you want to.
3. JOIN FACEBOOK GROUPS.
This is an awesome solution to the whole loneliness
thing. Find your tribe in a Facebook group, gather ‘round the virtual water cooler, and multi-task
while working on your biz. Bonus: this is an awe-
some way to network, find services you need, and
make new friends who get you.
4. TAKE BREAKS.
Working at home alone can cause you to get
sucked into a virtual world where your business is
king and you are but a mere minion that exists to
do its bidding.
Take intentional breaks (read: don’t just go on
Pinterest for 10 minutes). Get up, walk away
from your computer, and stretch. Connect with
the physical world around you. Go outside and
breathe in the fresh air. When you sit back down
at your desk, you’ll be ready to slay.
5. HYDRATE.
Just because there’s no water cooler at home
doesn’t mean we can neglect our intake of H2O.
Carrying a water bottle around the workplace becomes habit forming and that habit doesn’t necessarily translate to work at home. Dehydration,
even in its mild form, can cause you to feel less
than awesome. Headaches and fatigue can creep
