tips on working from home

sorry no pretty pictures for this one. i started becoming overwhelmed with the thought of potentially working from home full-time and found this nifty post at zenhabits. the blog itself is full of gems on balancing life.

a sampling of the tips (that could apply to anything requiring a good dose of self-discipline):

• start the day right, go through your routine while getting in the mindset to "go to work"
• don't turn on the computer until you're ready to start work
• no quick email checks here and there - designate time to check your email 1-2 times a day
• turn off the interwebs
• don't go back to work once you've finished
• designate certain days for certain work
• be grateful you're working from home and not in a cubicle
