What's your secret to working from home?
 

Mine = headphones or closing the door.

Bonus secrets = coffee, sunshine, fresh air

Eat regularly and don't forget to exercise.

Make sure your friends don't make a habit of stopping by unannounced too often.

Unless they have beer, of course.

Coffee

Plenty of water

Take regular breaks to maintain a semblance of a life.

And every 6 to 8 weeks... go get a haircut.


:D

not answering phone or door for days at a time.
if someone, anyone, wants to get in touch with me they have to go the email or icq route.

I'm not sure I could computer job @ home for a carreer, but as a I student, I really enjoy working on the computer :)

Work 3 hours then a break. Work 3 hours then a break. Work 3 hours then a break. I usually get up around 8 and start working around 9. I finish up around 7 or so then eat dinner.

And I try to not work on the weekend.

The real question is what's your secret to working in a office. I don't think I could ever go back to that again. Unless I'm the boss of course.

Agreed....

regular sex with your girlfriend!

I just started working out of the home office about a week ago. so far so good. I try to work in 3-4 hour blocks and then wonder downstairs for a 30 mins and play with the kids and wife. If the kid is napping then maybe just the wife ;) that always makes the day better. I also don't make coffee so i have to get dressed and leave the house to go to 711. if i didn't have to go to the gym or get coffee i would work in my boxers all day. I'm sure none of you guys want to chat with me all day in my boxers .. lol

I just took a 30 min break and went for a motorcycle ride. that always makes things better :)

Music. Plain and simple.

Great idea right there. Going out to get your coffee makes you get dressed and ready for the day/world.

I would.

Shit. I knew I was forgetting something,

Mine is bigger paychecks

I used to not put on pants until like 6:00.

I would goto the store then come back home and take off my pants again, lol

Thats me in the winter, except I would put on some sweats or something to stay warm!

beer is always good :thumbsup :thumbsup

Never ever turn on the TV, and take a normall lunch break as you would in an office

No secret.. just natural :)
 

I gotta remember to wake up or go to bed... sometimes going outide is a good think ;)

I wake up when it's dark and sleep when it's dark!

I have no distractions, I live by myself and have no friends or family who come over to bother me, no one comes over at all and I like it like that.

I could never live with another person in the house.

Strippers, lots and lots of strippers.

My trick is to work either at night or while most of my friends are at work. I also try to avoid having any booze in the house.

Sounds like we'll be seeing you in the news soon as the next serial killer. :1orglaugh

Sometimes working at home seems like living in the office:(

To break the monotony, I sometime go at work at my "other office" see http://www.sheratonlacaleta.com/eng/informacion/

I think I'm going for a ride to get a smoothie. Thanks for the idea :thumbsup
