Moms that work from home

I recently starting working from home a few days a week. It has been wonderful to have more time with my child and I have really focused to make sure my work stays up to par. Which means that I end up working well after the boys are in bed each night. I don't mind the sacrifice to be able to spend more time with my boys, I am just wondering if there are any moms that work from home that have a "Schedule" they follow on a daily basis.

If you have a schedule you follow and are willing to share it with me or any tips/tricks you use to get it all done, I would really love to hear them.

Thanks in advance,

Michelle

I've been working from home since January 2008. If there is one thing that has worked for me is to have a schedule, but be willing to be flexible with it.

Each morning before I have to get breakfast on the table, I answer e-mails and do my work on the computer. Then during the day I don't feel as tied to it as I might. (I'll check e-mail through the day and might get phone calls, which I'll answer depending on when and where I am with my kids.) Then when the kids are in bed, I'll return to the computer. However, I always try to turn the computer off a couple hours before bed so I have time for me.

Hope that helps!
