The Secret of efficiently working from home

1. Keep a routine: daily, weekly, annual – with goals for each – and stick to them!
2. Keep track of your time for 3 weeks – this will force you to do what you know you should
3. Make a “todo” list and follow it – Rememberthemilk.com is a good way to do this online
4. exercise every day – for 1 hour, mix it up – swim/bike/run
5. don’t surf the web – If you have a “break” in your day, ok. Otherwise, no HuffPost until after dinner
6. work after dinner for 1 hour
7. close your office door when you’re officially working
8. get out of the house once/day at least – plan a lunch, jog, or trip to the gym/store
9. don’t mix home work (bills, projects) with your for-profit work
10. keep a daily timecard – you can do this with Google Calendar
