What Work Hours/schedule Is Best For You? And Why?

[FF]

gentlemen ... a suggestion please ? please settle your differences in the proper forum / thread . mr duke ... for the ask of the others who are not in anyway concerned and interested with your "beef" with mr . flores ... you may want to consider posting any replies to the other thread.

 

peace !

 

noted. to the other gentleman ... i shall be awaiting you in the other thread. let's see if you're man enough to repeat your accusations there. :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley:

well first of all i answered the question being asked by the thread then made a suggestion.

 

before i give credit to the suggestion of fellatio about working at home, paki clarify naman ito :

 

para hindi OT ... i have happily and successfully worked inside my house for the past 10 years.

 

and

 

i've done it successfully for over seven years. as have many budding entreprenuers and professionals.

 

baka bukas 15 years na? linawin mo parang kwentong barbero lang eh. ill leave it up to here. see you in the other thread.

 

 

anyways, i would not advise anyone to work at home especially if you are just starting out. focus is one of the most important aspect to make your business successful or excel in your profession. while the wife and the kids bring you inspiration, you cant help by being distracted once in a while which will accumulate in the long run.

for many ... the home is the ideal starting point for any business. and many entreprenuers and professionals have done just that.

 

think of the many advantages : aside from the sizeable savings in terms of rent ... the time savings in terms of the commute alone is pretty significant indeed.

 

but the hardest thing to manage ( as mentioned earlier ) is making your home-office WORK.

 

aside from the dedicated space ( most preferably an enclosed air con room ) ... you should have a separate facilities (among the basics are a separate pc , phone , and fax ) distinct from the ones you use for your home. not only are these more convenient but they allow you to separate the office bills from the household bills. for electric bils ( before i had a separate meter installed ) i computed for and used a fixed percentage to determine how much of the bill the "office" had to pay.

 

another thing is to discipline yourself to follow standard office hours ( being in the service industry ... i keep the same office hours as my clients).

 

and when you step inside your "office" ... make sure to bring that pang office attitude with you too. on my end , i start off by wearing jeans and sneakers and a collared shirt ALWAYS ... not pambahay and tsinelas.

 

second ... I manage my time carefully with a list of things to do and clients to call. it's so easy to lose focus when you're a company of 1 and you've got time aplenty on your hand.

 

third ... your family will have to help you in making your home-office work. as mentioned earlier ... my wife and kids respect my office hours . in turn i also do my share and respect my home hours. if my office hours are from 9-6 ... outside of those ... i'm fair game for my family. but this is not to say that my door is locked and entrance is verboten. they are just considerate enough to know that for me to work and bring in business they would have to keep interruptions to a minimum.

 

fourth ... thank you duke for calling my attention. i have indeed been working at home for the past ten years. i have been most fortunate in business. after three years in our old house ... i have moved to another home where i have been holding office for the past seven years. mea culpa for the oversight.

 

with that said ... i am eagerly awaiting you at the other thread along with the rest of the other men who have long missed your presence.

thanks fellatio for the great information. actually this kind of advise is what im expecting from those who have succesfully managed to work from home, something for others to emulate.
