When I'm working at home, I get up with my family at 6ish and get ready for
work as usual. When they leave the house, I go down stairs. My shop and
the computer room are adjoining, I go about my day as if I were at the
museum...check email while the iron is heating up, then into the 'shoe' for
the day. Pierre comes home for lunch and I stop while he's home, then I stop
for the day when the family gets home. The only night when I work is
monday, I have students over. I don't work weekends or in the evenings. If
I don't bring laundry down with me in the morning, it doesn't get done,
that, and I hate housework, so it's a little easier for me.
Since I can't figure out the TV in the living room by myself, I don't turn
it on, so have gotten used to the idea of not watching TV until I'm off to
bed at night. Pierre's an eletronics guru...his TV system makes my
profession sewing room look like it's in the dark ages ;-)
My main point is, the getting up and preparing for work as you would outside
the home. If you can have the space to set up your shop properly and go
there as you would an office, it's much easier.
Deadlines help too!

"Bravery is something you can experience on the spur of the moment, faced
with danger. To have courage, you must think about the dangers in advance,
then weigh the risks, and then do what you have to do, despite your fears"
Caius Merlyn Britannicus
I got to wondering if other people have special
rituals or procedures they do to separate their time,
particularly those who work at home.
You never know what useful info could come up, so I
hope you forgive this meander slightly OT.
Thanks,
Katherine
