February 15, 201214 yr Is not working for me, im sat here eating ( this is shameful) a tin of raviolli that was heated in a microwave. i dont take breaks and im sure i should be paying myself over time. Should i be setting an alarm clock for a 'dinner hour' and walking round the block to get out?? Work colleagues can be an endless source of fun and/ or someone to mock. If i want a chat i have to turn the tele on and ad lib with it! Hints and tips for succesfull working from home please, cos im dogshite at it.
February 15, 201214 yr my dads mate works from home and he has to get up dressed and ready like hes going out to th office, goes for a walk first then sets up work, doesn't have the tv on or any distractions.
February 15, 201214 yr Sit at a desk / dinning table, away from the sofa. Try and have the breaks and lunch as you would in the office. Dont work from home when the kids are on half term.
February 15, 201214 yr You could share daycare with grandma for my little one and you can talk to her. HTH Lunchtime with a toy box? Well jell as retarded women say.
February 15, 201214 yr I work from home a couple or three days a week. I generally have to lock myself in the "office" (the third bedroom) so that I don't get distracted. I sometimes have the radio on (Talksport or 5-Live) for a bit of company as it gives me something to shout at when they are talking bollocks. I rarely have a lunch hour, but then again I've never really done so
February 15, 201214 yr I work from home and it's great. I work upstairs out of the way of any distractions: it's all about discipline & time management really.
February 15, 201214 yr I mainly work from home and I'm also shit at it. The year on football manager is 2035, that pretty much sums up everything you need to know.
February 15, 201214 yr Agree with Traf, time management, discipline, dedicated area with no distarctions if possible and take breaks. Get out of the house every day even if it's just nipping to the shops. Use the time you would have been commuting and lunchtime to do household stuff and come on here for light relief (or the toy box!) but remember if you were in a workplace you wouldn't be able to spend all day on here. Cue NB's response within a couple of minutes
February 15, 201214 yr The year on football manager is 2035, that pretty much sums up everything you need to know. Who is Coyle managing and are they still playing 4-4-2?
February 15, 201214 yr To me it would be similar to being at school when the teacher says, go and do some individual revision/learning. You just hear great, afternoon off! I would get fuck all done.
February 15, 201214 yr I work from home 4 or 5 times a months, I usually get up to travel to work at 6am and tend to do the same when at home. I'll go into my office and the get loads done till 11am then have 3 hours off then work through till 5 or 6. Best thing is texting the wife downstairs for a brew
February 15, 201214 yr Author How i regret my self imposed WW exile. Handy hints for homeworking? Sort thesen out for an hour at lunch time.
February 15, 201214 yr Sort thesen out for an hour at lunch time. Don't forget morning and afternoon tea breaks as well for a quick 10 minute tickle
February 15, 201214 yr I do it at least once a week and am also shit at it I dont get anything done then end up doing my expenses etc on the sabbath.
