Bad Habits of Working from Home [PODCAST]

By on March 12, 2012 in Schmittastic Hour

So I decided I don’t do enough with all the information in my head, so I started a podcast:

Schmittastic Hour

Don’t worry. It’s only 30 minutes. And today I wanted to talk to you about the bad habits (or habits I find to be bad NOW) of entreprenewbies (or even seasoned entrepreneurs) who are working from home.

The habits of debate include:

  • Lounging in PJs for most of the work day
  • Never leaving the house to break up the day
  • Working too late, including during family time
  • Not sticking with your To Do List and just doing whatever comes to you
  • Not connecting with people in real life

Lots of lessons to be learned that I definitely have over the first year of working for myself. Take a listen and give me some feedback. I had a lot of fun talking to myself… :)

P.S. The platform for podcasting that I couldn’t think of during the first part of the show was BlogTalkRadio.

Get on Talkshoe! I do ok on podcasts, I like more interaction though, when I am not the host. I think you'd have a lot of fun. Plus there's not any imposed time limits.

I like your story about the guy who, in order to get himself into the workday, left his house, bought coffee, and came back home. The author John Cheever used to dress up in a suit, pick up a briefcase, walk downstairs to the basement, where he wrote, change into his pajamas and robe and start typing. He, too, created his own commute.
