    Are you working at home?

    Well, I work at home and the main difficulty I find is related to discipline.........I'm not able to keep myself in a discipline in terms of time and doing other activities as well.

    So I think that if you are working at home then there should a room apart from your home where no family member enters, it would help a lot.

    Also, there should be a time table of doing each and every thing, for break fast, for tea break or for lunch you should have a fixed time.

    It shouldn't be there that if you want to have a cup of coffee then you took it..... it breaks your discipline as well.

    Your thread is very very interesting ! It can lead to some great advices. Personnally i used several method to get a discipline but none work except one.

    All crappy softwares to organize your tasks doesn't take on me, i don't even bother to open them.

    I run some online and offline business and the only thing which work for me is a classic Agenda, you know this thing in paper from the last century ! I put with several pencil (in case ) and put it next to my keyboard and this is working, this is the only way i can stick to the plan

    Let me add that "discipline" is "NOT" required when you Love what you do! Get involved in something you like and discipline will come to you naturally.

    THAT, my friend, is damn right! My wife and I a few weeks ago did a 36-hour day on building our new business and website. Stopping to eat or bathroom breaks were seen as annoyances. Damn this human lifeform that NEEDS to shut down for a few hours a day!!

    lol Thats right, but its also my problem I love what I do so much that it seems to take over the need for anything else unless I consciously make time to relax. I still think balance is good and that a person needs to step away every now and then, but when I am online and working, I am working. It has its own advantages and that's one of the reasons I really love what I do.

    Well I guess there are ways to keep discipline. Specially when you get less money than last month you get motivate enough. At least it does for me. xD

    I have the opposite problem. I seem to not know when to stop. Unlike a 9-5 job, there's no finish and start time. I end up working long into the night and often start early in the morning.

    Whether or not it is worth it is debatable.

    I don't work at home. I am an 8 - 4 men , but I have a plan to have small home business.
    If the home activity here is fun you don't have any discipline for it. Just do it and the money will follow.
    my signature is no signature.... for now.
