Motivate Yourself

Home based CSRs work is unaccompanied, so there is no boss around to keep them on their toes. In this regard, you need to make sure that you are self motivated. It will be a lot harder to work from home if you are not self motivated. You should keep your accountability and motivation by focusing on your target and in return you will definitely receive the rewards.




Set Physical Boundaries


Ignoring interruptions could be a challenge for home based workers. As a home based worker you have to put some physical boundaries in order to get success in your field.

Manage Your Priorities


When there is any housework or laundry to do, it could be difficult to focus on work. Committing a schedule is the biggest challenge while working from home. It seems like there are a million and one things you have to do except work. To deal with your priorities you should apply the same philosophy with your home based business as you would in outside work. You can set monetary goals and rewards for quick success.

Create a Devoted Workspace


To get yourself in the working zone, you should create zones in your head and home. You should try to set up a detach workplace with as few distractions as possible. Ensure you have everything you will need such as pens, a headset, files and an ergonomic chair. You also need to try to stay organized and maintain a professional appearance and atmosphere. You should not have any radio or television on while working because such things are distracting.

Stay Connected with Others

Working and living in the same atmosphere can make you feel disengaged and provide you cabin fever. As per expert opinion you should try to stay connected with family and friends by telephone, email, instant messaging or tangible human contact, if possible. In any work atmosphere, it is relaxing and helpful to allocate experience with others. Although you might not be able to peep over your compartment and talk with a co-worker face to face, you certainly can share stories over the phone.
