1. Designate a working space. From a desk to a complete room that can be and feel as "your office". Invest on a filing cabinet, a good size desk and a co
mfortable chair.
2. Discipline. You need to assign yourself a schedule. The advantage of working from home is the ability to combine personal and professional activities that can't be done working from a regular office. However you need to keep it separate on an standard routine.
3. Tools. Invest on a good laptop or tablet that supports communication technologies such as video conferencing (Skype), roaming (USB card) and compatible with your smartphone so you can keep your working schedule and to-do-lists on multiple devices. Also invest on a good data plan for your phone and Internet wireless service from your cable supplier.
4. Enjoy it. I am always dressed on comfy clothes, sometimes check my stuff laying on my bed or at my terrace. On "coffee breaks" I do personal stuff from laundry to go out to run home errands. I have my kitchen available for my favorite coffee or snacks. When my kids arrive home, I assign a complete "hour meeting" to ask them how was school and make sure they will do their homework while I finish my day "at work".
