Searching the web for tips during my "lunch break" (eating a sandwich while sitting on the couch in the living room with computer in my lap) and came across this. What you say here is good. It's all actually stuff I've heard before, but which I really need to apply. I do have a guest bedroom which is also sort of my office. Fairly well set up but needs some help to be more inviting and productive. I hadn't thought of the idea of not answering the phone while working. Need to do that. Too many distracting phone calls. Any recommendations on ways in which to organize the day and keep track of tasks (Microsoft OUtlook's task manager is highly recommended but doesn't work so well for me)? Thanks for writing. I'll check you out again! I’ve just started working from home and am having a hard time getting and staying organizaed and disicplined.

It kind of feels too complicated and very extensive for me. I'm looking forward for your next publish, I’ll try to get the grasp of it!

Without a plan, it is SOOOO easy to get caught up into home stuff rather than work stuff. Great tips here and I know because I work from home.

But I end up either going to Starbucks or going home. So I just made a small corner of my bedroom as my small office. Then I go out for coffee to continue what I am doing in middle of the day or when I need to meet with someone. In this way, I get more things done. I also enjoy being mobile and flexible. Can't really stay in a room with four walls that long. .-= ProductiveJohn´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.productivepinoy.com/2010/02/reasons-why-people-buy-from-you.html" rel="nofollow">REASONS WHY PEOPLE BUY FROM YOU</a> =-.

I struggled with it too when that was my situation. It is just too easy to find other things to do sometimes. It was a lot easier for me to procrastinate back then. I could always find something 'more important' to do around the house. I guess this is why some employers still struggle with the idea of letting people work out of their houses.

I don't know if it messed me up or not, but it certainly seems reasonable that it would. It is tough sometimes to find the 'perfect' place when you are working out of your house. I'm glad to hear that you received 'Young Guns' and that you are enjoying it. It was my pleasure to get to send it to you. Jessica – My workspace was in my bedroom in college too.

I need quiet, uninterrupted time to write or to do any significant task. Sometimes this is a challenge even though I have a dedicated office. There are so many things competing for my attention like children, co-workers, e-mail, phone calls, text messages, Twitter, the list goes on and on. All of these things are good, but they nevertheless draw me away from the task at hand sometimes. Samantha – I know what you mean.

Great post as always. Being a student means that at the moment my bedroom is my office and vice versa. I have read a couple of articles about what you said in step 1 - keeping a specific space. They all tend to agree that if you work near where you sleep you'll have trouble concentrating because of feeling tired AND sleeping because your mind will be too full with thoughts about work. I totally agree with you that a separate space is much needed! I also wanted to let you know that I received 'Young Guns' today, and I've already started reading it! It's brilliant so far, I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you so much for your fantastic blog, keep writing! Jess. Hey Jeff! Great post as always.
