Working from home is tough for me too as much as I need it sometimes I just want to unplug like life used to be.Nanette ~ A Mom Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6116553676933441796.post-65512801248164925842011-06-01T11:59:08.441-05:002011-06-01T11:59:08.441-05:00I've been struggling with this lately.

A few nights ago my hubby and I sat in our bed with our netbooks on our laps. We finally looked at each other and said, these plug-ins have to go. So I'm with Cicily on that, no electronics in bed. Choose what's most important each day and try to get that done. Let go of the other stuff for another day. We will never feel as if we get it all completed. Because when we do, we think of new things!

I'm grateful that I go into an office a few days a week just so I can concentrate!<br /><br />I do have one rule, though: I don't bring any electronics to bed. No laptops, no phone, nothing. If I'm in bed it's just us, or a good book. I need SOME time offline each day.<br /><br />Also? I find sometimes some stuff has to slide. My house DESPERATELY needs to be straightened up and cleaned. Not gonna happen today. My husband works from home too so we're doubly challenged in that way.<br /><br />I think that the biggest thing is that you HAVE to have a time that's quitting time each day or else you will make yourself crazy. You must be off at some point, you know?<br /><br />Good luck, honey!Cecilyknoreply@blogger.com
