Keeping a Schedule while Working At Home
It is very important to keep a schedule while working at home. It is easier to get distracted when you are in a home office setting vs an outside office job. Here are some tips to help you out.
1.) Get a desk calendar. These calendars are big and take up the majority of your desk. Plan a week at a time. Only plan one week ahead. This is to allow flexibility for things that can come up suddenly with family, etc. Here are a few days in the freelance writers world planned out. Feel free to use this as your own.
