Mindset, remember Mindset, remember it it i is s a a work Some time ago I used to work for an IT & office equipment company. I was already spending well over 2 hours a day on my commute to the office. The company decided to move even further away making my daily commute over 3 hours! I was offered the opportunity to work from home, we were a great IT company so in terms of technology it would be no different, phone, laptop, CRM all the same so I jumped at the chance. work After a few weeks I was really struggling. I could not separate my work life from my home life. The phone would ring for things to do with the home or family, the TV would draw me it & my lunch would last 2 hours sometimes! It was really effecting my work & I felt guilty that despite my employee being so flexible & giving me lots of support I was letting them down.

Even though I rarely went out I made a point of being dressed for work, not jeans & T shirt & had a strict routine of arriving in my little office, lunch breaks etc. & once it was 5:30pm everything went off in the office, door shut & I was home. It worked & I found without the office distractions & all the travelling I was far more productive, less tired & enjoyed my life & work far more. Because I was more successful
