Work At Home Online - It's A Great Opportunity For Women Apart
By Elaine Currie, Sat Dec 10th
Copyright 2005 Elaine Currie Work at home online programmes offer a great opportunity forwomen, especially stay at home mothers but there is a trap;recognising the trap and avoiding it is far easier than gettingout of the trap after you have been caught. When you decide to work at home (online or offline), you need towatch out for household chores and ration the time you willspend even thinking about them Otherwise they will form a gang,creep up on you and rob you of precious time. You will end uptrying to work at home online in the odd minutes left over fromdoing housework. You will then be tired (and probably bored)from dealing with the chores and in no state to concentrate onyour work at home online project. So, you'll maybe check yourmail and decide that you are too exhausted to do anything else.What you decide you will do is shower, get a good night's sleepand hit the floor running tomorrow. Yes, devote the whole day toyour work at home online project and catch up on what you missedtoday.
Even if you have never before tried to work at home online, youwill undoubtedly recognise this scene and already know what willhappen when tomorrow dawns. If you have ever knocked yourselfout preparing for an event, doing all the chores in advance tohave a day free, you will know that having a whole day toyourself completely free from housework does not happen. Theencroachment of chores onto your time will start early, it willbegin with the irresistible urge to tidy up after breakfast. Those nasty chores you despatched yesterday have lots ofrelatives and they will have gathered over night while you weresleeping. Mr Laundry has called in his brother, Mr Ironing andas soon as you wake up he will be there sitting smugly in hisbasket and demanding your attention. Mr Soap-Scum is nowhere tobe seen and the bathroom is spotless - apart, that is, from MrSoap-Scum's cousin Mr Lime-Scale who has sneaked in and dulledyour taps. It seems that Mr Dust has brought along his wholefamily, you can see them in the sunlight, hovering, waiting toleap onto your the moment your back is turned. If you are the perfect housekeeper, you will deal with today'schores before you even think of doing anything for yourself.Whether your aim is to concentrate on your work at home onlineproject, spend the day shopping for a special outfit, have yourhair restyled, get a professional manicure (or anything elsethat is just for you), you can't ignore the chores. You wouldnot be able to concentrate on shopping or enjoy pamperingyourself if, at the back of your mind, lurked the knowledge thatyour ironing basket is full, the bathroom taps are not shiny andthe needs polishing. Before you know it, the day hasdisappeared. Household cleanliness has been raised severalnotches
but your work at home online project remains in a stateof neglect and is in danger of decline. It is easy to slip into this pattern and allow it to become yourday to day life. It won't be long before you are overwhelmed bychores, abandon the idea of being able to successfully work athome online and turn into one of those martyred women proudlyproclaiming "I never have a moment for myself". You have tobreak this cycle before you turn into a housework zombie. Thefact that you are at home all day does not mean you should be aslave to housework. It is an established law of physics thathousework expands to fill the time available. When you worked at a job outside the home and commuting, youwould not have been available to do household chores between thehours of, say, 8.30am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday. Like themillions of women who are in the same situation, you managed tofit in household chores and spending quality time with yourfamily and friends outside those hours. Why have things changed?- Because you let them and the only person who can turn thesituation around is you. If you are having a problem with subduing the houseworkgremlins, set yourself a strict working day in which to pursueyour work at home online project and fit the chores into theremaining time. Make sure you keep to this schedule, no matterhow hard the chores try to tempt you away, for a couple of weeksThen review what you have achieved and decide where yourschedule needs tweaking. Carry on for a week at a time doing anynecessary tweaking at the end of each week. Within a month orsix weeks you will find yourself able to happily work at homeonline without having household chores perpetually nagging atthe back of your mind. One of the great things when you work at home online is that youhave flexibility as to your daily schedule. Provided you don'tlet household chores elbow their way in and take over, this is atremendous advantage. You can organise your work at home onlineproject to fit in with your husband's working day and yourchildren's routine. No more begging the boss for time off toattend a function with your husband or to watch your childacting in a school play: you're the boss, it's entirely up toyou when you work at home online. If your work at home online project develops into a fullyfledged Internet home based business, the flexibility of yourworking day will be complete. You won't have to fit in with yourcustomers' hours because you won't need to visit them or phonethem, most things done online can be automated and can be doneat any hour of the day or night. You will have more time to dohousehold chores. No! No! That was just a joke: use thismarvellous flexibility to enjoy life, it's too short to bewasted in drudgery.
