Sometimes the hardest thing about working at home is getting uninterrupted time in 
which to take care of business. Here are some five tips for setting up some boundaries to increase your productivity.
Make your office your office only. Donbt take your work into your home or bring your home into your office. Set yourself up for a block of time by preparing your coffee, water and snacks prior to going to the office.
Schedule your office hours and stick to them. Publishing them on your website and advertisements keeps you on track. Make sure your friends and family know these hours and encourage them to support your success by honoring them. A b Do Not Disturbb sign for your office doorknob can be helpful as well.
Do not allow yourself to be interrupted by a doorbell. Pretend that you are not at home when a solicitor rings the bell and do not even check to see who it is unless you are expecting someone.
Make a communication space at your front door so people can leave messages. A small box with a notepad and pen can work just fine.
Resist the temptation to take calls when the phone rings. Screen your calls on both your land line and cell phone if you use either for both personal and business purposes.
