One of the hardest parts of being a work at home parent is to learn how to balance family and life. It’s very easy to get caught up on your computer for hours on end, especially if you are a workaholic like me. I am here to help share with you some tips on what may work as a way to balance your family and working from home so that everyone is happier, including yourself.

Lately I have been found on my computer, checking “just one more email” or “writing just one more blog post” when all of a sudden I am on the computer for two hours. Next thing I know I have to eat dinner, get the kids in bed and then myself in bed. I missed two hours of quality family time, for what? An extra couple of bucks? I mean, really, is the extra couple of bucks worth missing that first step or that first word or giving unlimited piggy back rides to the children I love so dearly? No it is not! But why do so many of us have such a hard time putting up a closed sign when working from home? more

We have all been there.  You walk into your home office and what do you see?  Piles of papers, file folders, sticky notes everywhere, and phone numbers in random places.  Nothing is more frustrating than having the feeling of “Where do I start?” Being disorganized adds anxiety, stress and a sense of no control to our lives.

Being organized brings us a sense of peace.  It brings us back into control of our space and our time.  Time – something we all have so little of; I would much rather find the paper I need, when I need it than spending several minutes ruffling through a bunch of stuff!  We work better when we are organized.  Working better means working smarter.  Working better and smarter means…. success!  And we all want to be successful! more

Many work at home women, especially consultants, must travel as part of their business. Business travel presents some additional challenges to maintaining a healthy lifestyle over personal travel. When you travel on business, you have no control over the amenities available where your client is located. In addition, you must work while you are there, so time becomes a issue. Here are some tips to help make your next business trip a little healthier than your last!

Choose the Right Lodging.

1.  Location, location, location. Look for lodging that is close to healthy eating options, a grocery store, a gym, or your client’s location/airport. You want to reduce time spent traveling that could be used for food preparation or exercise.

2.  Look for a hotel that caters to healthy lifestyles or has an onsite gym. Beware of the hotel “gym” with a broken treadmill and one 15-lb. dumbbell. You don’t need a lot of equipment, but it needs to be in good working order and available at convenient times. Check out Hyatt’s StayFit program that includes healthier menu options and 24/7 gym access! Westin Hotels and Resorts’ WestinWORKOUT^® program can arrange to have yoga DVDs, a spin bike, or other exercise equipment available in your room! Ask about extra hidden fees for these amenities or services. more

I get emails all the time from people who are looking for legitimate work at home opportunities. I am always more than happy to assist these people with their search, and direct and guide them on how to search for legitimate work at home jobs. After giving them a bunch of leads and details, I tell them to keep in touch and let me know how their job search is gong.

I never hear back from these people.

And I can tell you, it’s not because there aren’t any legitimate work at home positions out there.

The problem is when people start their work at home search and they don’t find anything right away, they end up giving up or they get wooed by one the many get-rich-quick schemes out there and then are left with a bad taste in their mouth.

Finding a work at home job is just like any other job search, it takes a lot of time, patience and research, but if you’re willing to do the leg work, you too can reap the many benefits of working from home!

How do you find a legitimate work at home position? more

You’ve decided to take the plunge and work at home.

You’re probably excited to be your own boss, go to work in your pj’s, and take a commute that only requires a short walk from bedroom to office.

Before you get too carried away about the myriad benefits of working at home (and those named above are some perks, no doubt!), consider the challenges that come with the territory. Anticipating the issues that may arise will help mitigate them if and when they present themselves.

1. The Seepage

Work stuff just has a way of creeping throughout your home. I call it, “The Seepage.” It’s not uncommon for me to have work papers in the dining room, bedroom, and scattered across the kitchen table.

Ideally, a designated workspace, room, or office will help with The Seepage, but some “work contamination” is inevitable. Remember that you are now combining two purposes under one roof: work and home. Be prepared for this co-mingling and prepare your family, as well. more
