Six Handy Tips For Work From Home Moms
Juggling being Mum and running a Home Business can be very rewarding. And while there are many advantages, there are also challenges to be overcome. Here are some tips to help make things run a little smoother. MealsDishes like casseroles, curries, soups and spaghetti sauce can be prepared before you start work and cook while you're working. If you cook them on a low heat they don't need tending too often and when they do it's a great opportunity for a stretch. These dishes are also easy to make larger batches and freeze well for the times when you just don't have the time (or energy) to cook. Office
Having a good work area where you can set up a laptop or computer in a central part of the house makes it easier to supervise children, cook meals etc. I have a desk next to my kitchen, files are all kept in the linen cupboard. My biggest challenge is keeping my desk from being a dumping ground! Improving Concentration
If you work at a desk use a fit ball as a chair (your local physiotherapist or the better sport stores should be able to advise the right size for your height and sell you a good quality one). They're great for your posture, the constant movement while you work helps concentration (I even found I lost weight when I started using one!) and are a handy place to bounce upset young children to sooth them and make them laugh. Motivation and Training
There are lots of sites on the internet with MP3 downloads available for training or motivation. With an MP3 Player you can listen while you do household chores, exercise or drive and still hear what's going on around you. Remembering All Those Great Ideas
Do you ever find that although you have tonnes of great ideas during the day they seem to fly out the window the minute you go to jot them down? Instead you sit there staring at a blank page, wondering what happened to all those great ideas? Carry a Digital Recorder (your MP3 player or iPhone may also have a built in digital recorder). At the end of the day sit down and write or type up any ideas you had into a journal and add any memory jogs into your diary or calendar. Keeping Track
Have a good diary or online calendar to keep track of family appointments and plan daily business goals. Use your digital recorder to note things to remember as they pop up.Empowering Mum's to Become Successful Mompreneurs http://mumsonline.biz/ Article Source: [http://EzineArticles.com/?Six-Handy-Tips-For-Work-From-Home-Moms&id=4632519] Six Handy Tips For Work From Home Moms
