Back when I was working in an office full time, I used to dream about how nice it would be to work from home. Not as many distractions, or phone calls, or coworkers to bother you. Just think how much work you could get done! You could wear your fuzzy slippers and sip hot tea while your productivity soared.
Now that I am working from home, on a couple of different projects, I realize how hard it really is. It requires a certain discipline. I find myself thinking, I'll have plenty of time to work on that this afternoon. Before I know it, I've burned 3 hours on the Internet reading about social networking. And 2 hours actually social networking.
I load the dishwasher, empty the laundry, make the beds, play with the dog, take a walk with my neighbor. Then spend an hour working. Before I know it my kids are home and chaos rules the day.
And, I realized today, there's absolutely nothing stopping you from eating a large bowl of chocolate chip mint ice cream for lunch. That's all, nothing else. No one staring at you making you feel guilty. And the bowl and spoon are tucked away before anyone even finds out.
Looks like a better find time for a post-lunch walk tomorrow...
