 Tips for Working at Home

• Maintain a presence at the main office. Report in often and let your boss know you are alive and
productive.
• Treat your study (or wherever you work) like a real office. Close the door at 6 p.m. and don't open
it until you are beginning work the next morning.
• Get dressed as you would for work and be consistent with your hours. Act like you are at the
office and not at home, and you stand a good chance of actually being productive.
