I do work from home and am father of two small kids (3 and 1 years), both kids and my wife are stayign at home.
From the begining we set strict rules: my office is off place: nobody except of me can go inside, kids are taught that when I am inside I am not home and they just can't see me. I am also not going inside my office outside of my business hours.
With those rules in place it feels like having office outside with minimal commute.
- muzani 8y agoSame. It's good to set up certain rituals - a hug, kiss on the cheek. Whenever 'leaving' for work and 'coming home'. It helps when drawing the line on some gray area things, like going to the bathroom and grabbing a sandwich.
- danesparza 8y agoThis is great advice. How long have you had this arrangement?
- dejv 8y agoSince our first kid was born, so for them it is just natural way of life.
- puranjay 8y agoHow do you get around the problem of not leaving the house? I find that the biggest reason I go back to co-working is that it gives me an excuse to walk to the metro station and just be in the open air.
- dejv 8y agoI always had hobies: I used to be into live music A LOT: I went out to gigs like 5 or 6 times a week, then there was always some friends around, wine tastings, mountain hiking or random trips on weekends. I have small kids now, so I dont go out very often but there is always hiking on weekends and I spend one day a week on my wine farm.
