Now, make sure that you are as content, professional and productive as you can possibly be while you work from home.  One of the keys is organization. How organized you are when you work can have a huge impact on how much you enjoy your work, how secure your home-based career may be, how much money you make in the future and even how many hours you have to work each week.

• Organize your time. Set specific times that you intend to work and specific times that you intend to do other things, and stick to your schedule.  Failing to organize your time can lead to chaos for both you and your family and may ultimately lead to the failure of your home-based lifestyle.
  
  
• Organize your work space.  A well organized work space in your home can save you valuable time and make your job far more enjoyable.  Who wants to spend all of their time hunting down papers or suffering the consequences of lost information?  And just because you work at home doesn't mean you want to waste your valuable time.  Valuable time organizing yourself early in the process will help you stay organized all along the way. In the beginning of your new home-based job, invest the time necessary to buy filing cabinets, files, labels, drawer space, baskets, notebooks... whatever is necessary to keep your home-based career organized.
  
  
• If your home employment is a home based business, be sure your home business is structured in a way that suits your company and needs. Will your business be a sole proprietorship?  A corporation? A partnership or LLC? Discuss the appropriate structure for your home based business with an attorney who specializes in business law. Ask your attorney which structure will give you the most protection in today's ridiculous and viciously sue-crazy society so that your home based business and everything you work for doesn't end up being lost in a lawsuit. The type of structure for your business will also have a large impact on how much tax you and your business will have to pay, so this is a decision you should make carefully.
  
  
• Design a workspace that makes you feel good and function well. You will enjoy working at home more every day if, in addition to being well organized, your work space is pleasant to work in. Select colors, furniture, accessories and tools that help you enjoy your job.
  
  
• Don't keep unnecessary day-to-day papers for your job. The old time management rules apply just as much when you work at your own home office. Touch each paper only once.  After that it gets distributed to someone else, acted on by you, filed where it should go, or thrown away. Important records such as banking records or tax records are exceptions and should be kept for several years.
