Rosemary Bookkeeping is a great option for those who are interested in working from home. It is favoured because there is no commute in the busy traffic, there’s added flexibility by being at home and you can choose your work environment, rather than it being chosen for you. But how do you get the most from it?

Here are 5 tips on how to run a business from home, effectively!

  1. Separate work and pleasure 
    Make sure the office/work space is totally separate from where you spend your down-time. This will prevent you from being tempted to work when you shouldn’t and relax when you should be working!
  2. Create storage
    Running a business from home will require you to have storage and when looking after data, it needs to be kept secure. Lockable filing cabinets, safes and other organisational furniture will be required
  3. Dress for the job 
    Get up and out of your pyjamas, wear something appropriate for running your business from home. It helps with mindset and then gives you the opportunity get in to your ‘comfies’ when you’ve finished for the day
  4. Fresh air
    Take regular breaks and where possible, get some fresh air. It helps refocus the mind and awaken you if you’re feeling a little tired
  5. Have the right kit 
    If you’re lucky enough to operate your business from home, you need to ensure that you have everything you need, to do it effectively. Computer, printer, storage and stationery to name a few

Above all else, you do need to be committed and motivated to work from home. Particularly when it comes to the distractive that you expect within a home.
