How to balance your work & home life as a freelancer
Balancing between your work and home life as a freelancer is simple. Here are tips you can try to make your freelancing career successful.
Set a work schedule and stick to it
Create a working plan and schedule and stick to it. Follow strictly your plan in order to finish your tasks on time, and you can take care of your family as well.
Make sure you take a break!
In working in an office, there are several breaks the employees are following, the same with working at home, set your own breaks, maybe morning snack or lunch, whatever will do. Especially if you have many projects and you need a full stomach and energy to fulfill those tasks
Make sure to choose one specific area of your home as your office
Making sure you have your own space for freelancing at home is essential, why? It is because at home there are lots of distractions and for you to be able not to be distracted, have your own quiet place to be productive.
Dress for success
Dressing for success means putting on clothes that you feel that you’re ready to start your day and work again. It will depend on what dress you want, as long as you are happy and comfortable with what you wear and as long as you are productive for this day it doesn’t matter.
Set boundaries
Even if you are working from home you also need to set boundaries in what you are doing, as you have plenty of house chores to do. You could ask help from your husband/wife and family that you need to work from 8 am to 3 pm or whatever hours you’ve liked.
