Yes, I'm sharing my secrets to effectively working at home! Beginning with:
Create an evening routine.
Yes, I said evening.
We've all that those mornings when nothing goes right - kids can't find their shoes, socks are missing, and "I meant to wear this shirt but it's still in the wash!"
You can fix all that chaos - the night before.
As soon as you're done working for the day, shine your sink, clean the kitchen, tidy the house, put everything you need for the next day on your desk or by your front door. Maybe even put coffee in the coffee maker and set it to start the next morning. I prefer my caffeine cold, so I make sure my morning Diet Coke is in the fridge so it's icy! Lay out your clothes, all the way to shoes, so in the morning, you don't have to think about what to wear.
You solve morning crises by thinking about them the night before. It only takes a minute, you can work it into your routines, and I promise you the next day will go much more smoothly!
