There are no hard and fast rules about what tools you<br />
must own, if you are going to embark on a journey to<br />
increase your time management skills. The following<br />
simple tools, however, are inexpensive, and can help<br />
make the process of tracking, planning and organizing<br />
your time easier and less burdensome.<br />

<h4>
3 Tools For Time Management</h4>
<br />
<i><u>Time Monitor Journal</u></i>- This resource comes in both the<br />
digital and traditional varieties. It is useful in<br />
helping you to monitor and record your own use of<br />
time, in order to identify key areas for change.<br />
<br />
While a special journal is not needed, you may find<br />
that a ready made one saves you time in the long run,<br />
by doing the majority of the work for you prior to the<br />
actual recording of your activities.<br />
<br />
<u><i>Planner</i></u>- Available in digital and traditional formats,<br />
planners are wonderful for recording goals, making<br />
notes, keeping track of appointments and more. A<br />
planner is a must have to help you stay organized and<br />
on target, when working toward your goals.<br />
<br />
Select a planner that allows you enough room to keep<br />
track of a number of appointments and daily goals, but<br />
that is small enough so that you are able to carry it<br />
with you at all times.<br />
<br />
<u><i>Organizer</i></u>- These can be useful for planning a specific<br />
project, or managing a number of projects all at the<br />
same time. Digital and traditional versions of project<br />
organizers are available that can help you stay on top<br />
of the job.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791592124849310306.post-13324734882223255062016-07-10T15:42:00.000-07:002016-07-10T15:42:30.213-07:00Golden Rules For Moms Working Online<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Whether you have given up your corporate job to spend more time with the kids or want to augment the household income, work-from-home online jobs can be one of your best options to bring in steady profit. Setting up a home office sends the idea that you are committed to the family and your career. But as good as it is to make you both professionally and domestically functional, working online—and at home—can present some problems. What are you supposed to choose between a wailing kid and a project nearing deadline? How are the kids expected to behave when mommy’s working? And who’s going to wash the dishes? Moms working online are sometimes torn between work and household duties. So, how do you draw the line?<br />
<br />
<i>Families are as diverse as the individuals that make them; therefore, parenting and running the household greatly vary in style. But though that’s the case, online working moms should follow specific rules to allow productivity. Here are some of them:</i><br />
<br />
<b>1. Discuss the setup with the family.</b> It should be agreed upon by the husband and, in case they are all grown up, the kids. If the kids are still toddlers or need close attention, decide if you are going to hire a caregiver, and if you are, identify if it’s going to be a fulltime or a part-time caregiver. In most cases, part-time sitters are more practical since mommies won’t work the entire day anyway.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Define your work schedule.</b> It, of course, depends on your preference, family, and other duties. But whatever your schedule is, make sure everyone knows it to lessen distractions and interruptions. Setting definite working hours also gives your kids the impression that they have a space in your schedule and that they can wait for their time rather than barge in your home office any time they want. Stick to your schedule at all times, unless of course urgent events merit your attention.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Decide whether you will have a closed door or open door policy.</b> A closed door policy works better if you have a hired sitter. This allows you to work with little or no distractions and your sitter to comfortably assume responsibility without your constant inquiry and checking. The open door, on the hand, is advised if you don’t have a hired caregiver. With this policy, you can instantly check how the things are going with your kids and the house. But since this can invite noise and distraction, you can close the door whenever you need extra concentration and are talking over the phone.<br />
<br />
<b>4. Orient yourself, the kids, and the caregiver about the possible interruptions that you can and cannot respond.</b> Be as specific as possible and show sturdiness. Don’t go out of your home office at the sound of a whimper; instead let your caregiver do her job. If the kids are grown up, tell them the kind of environment you need and how they can help you achieve it. Children just need to be talked to and constantly reminded.<br />
<br />
<b>5. Lay out your expectations</b>—how the kids are supposed to behave, the amount of household chores you can assume, the level of noise you can tolerate, among other things. Then, set out a plan. If, for instance, your kids are older, you can ask them to tidy their rooms on their own. Or you can work far from the living or TV room. Moms working online and their families, at the start, need to make certain adjustments.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791592124849310306.post-70595843393436772122016-07-04T06:32:00.000-07:002016-07-04T06:32:20.347-07:00Increasing Productivity In Your Home Office<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><b>Self-employed individuals who had to utilize their homes as office space face a different kind of challenge that does not directly involve work. It is their ability to focus on work and free themselves of any idea that they can slack off because of the lack of pressure. However, if you do intend to make a living out of your home based business, then you need to be professional in your use of home office as well. </b></i><br />

<h3>
<u>Designing Your Home Office </u></h3>
<br />
Trivial as it may seem, focusing on proper home office design can contribute to your productivity at home. You must begin by deciding on which part of the house you need to setup your office. An important consideration to make is that this space must provide you with enough privacy to concentrate on your work. This is also important in warding off any form of interruption that may arise while you are working.<br />
<br />
Then, come up with a design that enables you to maximize the space available within your office. It should be able to provide organization and elicit productivity. You need to provide areas where you can keep important documents or files, to prevent your children from destroying them in case they manage to sneak into your office.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Develop a Working Schedule</u></h3>
<br />
Creating schedule will help provide the organization you need to become productive with work at home. As opposed to working your regular 9 to 5 job, it is easy to find yourself working until the wee hours at home. There are added pressure when it comes to your schedule as you also have to allot enough time to spend with your family and there's the rest to dedicate to your work.<br />
<br />
By creating a proper schedule of your activities, it will help ensure that all tasks are done and accomplished on time. It also allows you to prioritize tasks so you can have a more focused set of activity for a given day.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Balance Work and Family</u></h3>
<br />
One of the biggest misconception about working from home is that it is not as demanding as any regular office job. Truth is, it requires more attention and work on your part. Therefore, you cannot afford to have interruptions from your family or friends while doing work. The best way to deal with this situation is to let your family know what your schedule is so that they can refrain from disturbing you during working hours. Let them understand when you need to work and when you are available to them for recreational activities.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<u>Know Your Priorities</u></h3>
<br />
Recognizing priority tasks and accomplishing them first will help you move on easily to other tasks. Doing so will help reduce the amount of pressure and stress that is entailed with trying to beat a deadline. This is a very likely occurrence for people working at home since they tend to relax and exert less effort with work, especially with lack of proper motivation.<br />
<br />
The best way to prioritize your activities is to identify billable and non-billable hours while working at your home office. With billable hours, it refer to the amount of time you dedicate for tasks that are directed to your clients. Thus, it helps you generate the income you need. On the other end, non-billable hours are those that you waste on doing activities that offer no income.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Give Yourself a Break </u></b><br />
<br />
Whether you are working or doing some other productive activities, it is important to give yourself a break from time to time. When you overwork yourself, you tend to wear out and you consequently reduce your performance and productivity. Therefore, it is advisable to allow yourself enough rest and regain the energy you need to tackle on whatever tasks you need to do.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>To be successful in working online from home, there is more you should do than just have a computer and strong Internet connection. Remember that this setup is unlike the traditional office environment. You need to make certain adjustments in your working style, schedule, and even attitude to ensure productivity. There are certain working online guides that can help you perform well. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<h3>
<i><br /></i>Here are six of them.</h3>
<br />
<b><u>1. Have a definite work place.</u></b> This can be a spare room anywhere in the house or a space in your bedroom. One thing you have to keep in mind is that your work place or home office, as what others like to call it, should allow you to function with little or no distractions. It should be well-lit and -ventilated and spacious enough to accommodate your other office gadgets. Once you have identified your work place, orient your household members about it and request them not to trudge in whenever you are working.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>2. Determine your working hours.</u></b> Though there are online jobs that require you to work during specified hours, some jobs allow you to work anytime of the day. Choose the time when you are most productive and be very disciplined. Just like in a corporate office, you are not supposed to leave your work when you feel like it. Keep in mind that you should maintain a professional attitude even without a prying boss or officemates.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>3. Set daily goals.</u></b> Doing so can help you identify your priorities and allow you to manage your time. Write your goals in a journal and see if they are met at the end of your working day. Without outlining your daily goals, you seem to be shooting aimlessly and might achieve nothing in the end.<br />
<br />
<b><u>4. Get away from online distractions.</u></b> There are many of them really—social networking sites, video streaming sites, downloading sites, among many other things. Not only can they slow down your computer, they can also take much of your time. Consider this, the full 30 minutes you spend watching a video is possibly the same amount of time you need to type one thousand-plus words. And you don’t want that significant loss, would you? It’s not that you are not allowed to visit any of these sites; it’s just that you have to make good use of your working time and be as productive as you can be. Remember, there’s a proper time for play.<br />
<br />
<b><u>5. Take some breaks.</u></b> The other extreme tendency in having a work-from-home online job is overworking. This is because work is just within reach and it is easier for you to spend more time doing it than relaxing. Working too much is not the way to do it, as this can potentially burn you out. Rest when you need to. Take your meal on time. Have coffee breaks. Take a day off.<br />
<br />
<b><u>6. Go out regularly.</u></b> Since your job now only involves you, a computer, and a virtual community, you need to socialize and get connected with people. You can, for instance, have a movie date with your best friend or a slumber party with your former officemates. Never spend a whole week locked in the house; find a way to spend at least a day somewhere.<br />
<br />
<i>While these guides can help you function well, much of your success in working online from home still depends on your perseverance, dedication, and patience. This then calls you to be serious with your job. </i>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791592124849310306.post-60042997494458219412015-05-07T13:55:00.002-07:002017-07-05T11:05:15.331-07:00Is Working From Home Right For You?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When most people get the idea of working at home, they enter in under the misconception that it will be a leisurely experience. This idea is very common among people that are just starting a family and have this idea that working from home will give them the opportunity to stay home all day with the kids, keep up with the household chores, and just never get dressed for work again. While all of this sounds great, it just is not realistic if a person wants to be successful when working from home. Especially if you are interested in entering the Customer Care field that we offer here at CB Staffing.<br />
<br />
Honestly it is very important to come to work every day with the idea that you are going into a traditional office. Even though you will be working from the comfort of your own home, it is very important that the customers you are assisting always feel that you are in a professional environment. This means that your workstation must be secure, quiet, and free from the interruptions of your home life.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i>Tips on Avoiding Background Noise</i></span></h4>
<br />
<ul>
<li><i>Keep office room door locked while servicing clients.</i></li>
<li><i>If other family members are present, be sure they know your office is off limits.</i></li>
<li><i>Do NOT work with pets or children in your home office.</i></li>
<li><i>Ensure no TV's or radios are playing in the background.</i></li>
<li><i>Put a sign on door asking visitors not to ring the bell.</i></li>
<li><i>Schedule lawn service outside of your working hours.</i></li>
<li><i>Turn Cell Phones off or keep on silent if needed for emergencies.</i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4>
<span style="color: #783f04;"><i> So What is the Benefit of Working From Home?</i></span></h4>
<h4>
</h4>
<br />
For starters you can say goodbye to that long commute every morning. With the prices of gas constantly going up, saving on gas is a very welcomed benefit. As an added bonus you can also say goodbye to those unreasonable co-workers. That is right, no more dealing with office drama (doing extra work for the same pay due to lazy co-workers, dealing with the complainer that uses the office as a soap box to complain about everything, or having to put up with the co-worker with the plain old rude temper every day, etc.). So for starters, working from home can give you peace of mind and a stress free environment.<br />
<br />
While you won't be able to focus on your household during the hours you are working, you still have the luxury of picking your own hours every week. Our schedules are released a week at a time and each day has 30 minute time blocks. This means you have the flexibility to work around your home schedule so that it is not a struggle putting you or your family first. Plus, most of our clients have a 15 hour minimum service requirement and an unlimited maximum. This means you can literally work as little or as much as you want each day. And trust us, there are plenty of hours available for our representatives, so you won't have to worry about lack of work.<br />
<br />
Please don't forget about those tax benefits. Because you are required to maintain your own home office, there are so many tax deductibles available to you. Most people already have a home computer, internet, and phone service. Once you start using these things for work you can start deducting the cost of these every month as business expenses. This means you can deduct your monthly phone bill, monthly internet bill, a portion of your monthly utility bills, etc. Please remember that you can also deduct any training and start up cost that may be required. And if you need to purchase a new compute or equipment to service, you can deduct that too. Most people dread tax season, but with deductions like these you can look forward to putting a little extra money back in your pocket at the end of each year. <br />
