Behind the Scenes Series: Entry #2
Working from home comes with unique challenges. How do you stay focused and productive? So many (sometimes worthy) distractions, begging for your attention. I love being able to work from home, but it does require a certain degree of prioritizing, even self control. Of course, having your own space is a must, but sometimes the distractions still call to you. The dog needs to go out. Who is at the door? The kids just got home from school! I could go on and on.
I do find it helps to take a few breaks here and there, maybe even a walk. For me, distractions are just part of my day, I know they will be there, I know I have to not get frustrated by them. We love what we do so very much and feel so blessed to have all of our Auntie's Beaders!
How do you stay focused and productive?
Starting my day with a list of things I hope to accomplish is a big motivator. Then, at the end of the day, I can see my productivity. Creative people, aka Beaders, know the feeling of designing a piece of art, then sitting back with the sheer satisfaction that it came from your head! That is the best feeling in the world. Whether you are a full time designer or hobbyist, the emotion is the same.
