I have learned there are countless ways to be sidetracked in your own home. I earn a living writing at my computer workstation desk. I would not make much money if I lacked organization skills. You must ruthlessly regulate your schedule.

Design a standard routine and stick to it. I get up at the same time each day. I shower and dress as if company might be dropping by. I pour a favorite beverage which in my case is strong coffee. I arrange myself at the keyboard and follow a checklist.

I review all electronic mail and check for important mail that might have been diverted to my spam folder. I begin writing after my browsers and web sites are open and appear on the toolbar.

I use my first session to complete an assignment before the kids wake up. I schedule an interesting subject here. In the past week I posted articles about warehouse handcarts, the popularity of princess cut engagement rings, and marvelous maple bars. No breaks and no maple bars until I am done.

My brain may not be able to compose words with dishwasher noise in the background. I save the dyson all floors vacuum for my kids to use on the weekend. You must limit anything from appliances to television and music if it interferes with your ability to concentrate.

I make breakfast for the kids and start the supper meal in my slow cooker. The laundry is in the washer and the dishes are caught up before we head out the door. The dog gets a break at spot on the way to school. I run outside errands when I make the school runs.

I run a lengthy computer scan before I recover the school kids. While it runs I can return to the house to start homework and wrap up chores. I use this time to set out the rest of the dinner menu supplies.

After home assignments it is break time for the kids and I finish up my work. My wife returns to a home where supper is ready to be served and the chores are done. The schedule may alter depending on scouting, sports, or other activities for the children.

Enjoy the unexpected, embrace the occasional chaos, and strive to survive. Working at home can be a terrific way to save money while you make money. It can create stronger connections with your kids and if you cook a decent meal you may have found another way to make your wife smile.
