It's very different from working in an in-person, office type of setting. While working from home, it's essential to remain productive and focused. But—what if your kids are there? What if your spouse is there? All the chores you could be doing are there, too. There are many opportunities for you to be less productive due to the lack of boundaries between work and home. At the same time, if you can learn how to be productive while working from home, it provides massive flexibility in time and location—you can work from anywhere with WiFi! Additionally, as more businesses move online, it's wise to be prepared for this trend to continue. In this episode of the podcast, Adee and Michael share tips and advice for successfully working from home (including what hasn't worked well!). They'll teach you how to create a healthy balance between work and the rest of your life while working from home. Topics: 2:35 – Why it's important to learn how to effectively work from home 7:07 – How Adee & Michael worked when they first started online businesses 10:09 – The difference between staying "busy" and being productive 11:24 – Adee read "The Perfect Day Formula" and changed habits 13:50 – Create time boundaries 16:42 – Setting rules for the structure of your week (meetings on certain days) 19:39 – Set up your workspace 21:58 – Take breaks 24:35 – Consider how you start and finish your day Links: The Perfect Day Formula by Craig Ballantyne When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing by Daniel Pink
