I'm interested in trying to work from home. But I'm concerned about finding time to work. Our schedule is so varied and sometimes busy that I'm worried I wouldn't be a very reliable employee for someone.
How do you deal with the challenges of getting work done without the structure of going to work every day? Can I do this? |

When my kids weren't in school full time, it was more difficult to schedule our day and of course, the time with them. The balance could be frustrating!
What helped me was to have a job with flexible hours and then planned out my week based on the home stuff first (appts, school, lunch etc.). Then I could fit the work hours in the windows of time that worked best for me. Another thing I did was get up an hour earlier to get the busy/must do stuff for work done before my kids were up. And our mornings were such that they were slow to wake up so they would watch cartoons & eat breakfast for awhile, so that also allowed me some more time to fit work in. One of the good things about work from home is they have a lot of options where you can pick a flexible schedule. Lots of places require a certain number of hours or "tasks" but leave the "when" up to you as long as it gets done and by their deadline. You CAN do it...

For my two years of working full time as a work-at-home-mom I say, its very fulfilling! By the way, I am working in odesk and it has been a great help in augmenting the family's income and the schedule I have is flexi hence; I can also do some household chores.

Working at home is also fulfilling for a mom, because you will have time for your kids. Even you work outside and you saw your kids the feeling of being tired will vanished. I think we must practice to have time management.

Hello Friend,
Working from home doesn’t necessarily mean working 9:00 to 5:00, Monday to Friday. The beauty of working from home is that you can set your own schedule. Here ,how much is more important than when. So, get yourself scheduled when you will be comfortable.

When my kids were little, I stayed up late and got up early. I was able to put in about 6 hours a day. Now that my kids are older, I work when they are at school. It helps if you can work flexible hours.

The kids being in school is the biggest help! My biggest problem is procrastination! You just have to focus on the fact that when they are in school, let the housework and other things go and do the "work". You can get those other things done when they are home but get as much of your job done as possible when they are out. I know for a fact that I am not a reliable employee so I became an artist and work on my own scheduale. We have a varied and weird scheduale too so I know how you feel. Still its better than the 9 to 5...good luck!
