1. Are You Working From Home Or Living At Work?Having worked from home for over 20 years I find it important to have a dedicated work space and regular work hours. Otherwise the work expands to always and everywhere. By having an office and setting my weekly work schedule I mentally separate being at work from being at home. Then if I bring my laptop into the living area and continue working, my mental attitude is that of bringing work home, like it would be if I brought work home from an outside office. With boundaries, I’m better at both! Thanks to Myra McElhaney of McElhaney & Associates |

2. Create A Dedicated SpaceBe sure you have a dedicated space for work, preferably somewhere you can close the door. Only put work related items in that space and treat it like an office you would go into away from home. Thanks to Shannon Myers of Walton Search |

3. Create A Master ListWe all have a running list of to-do’s in our head. My tip is to get it out of your head & get it on to paper. Make a list of everything you want to get done-it won’t all be getting done now, it might not even be getting done this week, this month or this year. But when you get that running list out of your head on to paper, you have a better chance of adding it to your regular to-do list & actually getting it done when you have a break in your schedule. You’ll find that you stop avoiding tasks. Thanks to Katy Tafoya of Success For Solopreneurs |

4. Time Management Agenda Vs. To-Do ListTungle.me is a great tool that helps me to organize time. In addition, I have created a time management agenda to keep me focused and everything is scheduled in increments of three to four hours. At the same time, everyday, I am available for anything pertaining to Corporate Chics but for ONLY four hours. The concept is to give myself more than enough time to complete tasks and to transition into other things I must do (like cooking dinner) easily. Thanks to Tawana Necole of Corporate Chics, LLC |
