I can totally relate to that. I find having a fixed time table/schedule for work done at home is very important, but sometimes it's not always easy to stick to it.;-) Any advice on how to stick to one's schedule?

Write three or five things you need to accomplish for your business the next day. You make the commitment with a disciplined mindset - not to do anything else relating to your business until these tasks are completed.Your mindset is the key.

I think it could also apply though to a work place with a boss if the environment is quite casual, or where someone is generally out in the field anyway. Consequently, I suppose the plus side is that such "real job" scenarios could help with developing effective self management for later self employment. Well put.

And it was very nicely presented. When I was a solo in business b4 becoming ofc mgr for husband, I was very disciplined - almost too much so. Now, there are so many different things that come to me / at me / etc. that I find it so much harder. Wish I could be a fly on the wall for a good manager or boss of lots of people!

Having a schedule for important tasks really helps - especially if they require you to be pro-active rather than re-active. Funny how for many of us the pro-active work, like marketing, can get left to the end of the day, or the week, or the month. Cathy Thanks for your comments, Pamela.

I'm just starting out in a home based small business and I am concerned about how disciplined I'm going to be so I'll keep you email and read it regularly. So thankyou, perfect timing.

I need that "to do" list in front of me everyday to stay focused on making my business successful. I love to sit down and lay out my projects and deadlines for several weeks at a time. It's like doing grocery shopping for a month! Then it's easier for me to get to work on those days when there's not as much motivation or structure as I might like. At least I can keep on checking off the action steps for that day and know that I'm making a contribution to my overall progress. Great reminder, Cathy!

I must say I probably go too much in the other direction.. Sometimes, I become too structured and disciplined and do not make time to go for those teas w pal because I can or take an hour out and actually go somewhere for lunch instead of eating at home while organizing dinner, etc...This is something I'm trying to consciously work on...to take/make more time to enjoy the flexibility... Thanks for the reminder. Hi there,
