The good thing about working for yourself is that you can be more flexible with your working hours than you would be otherwise. Just imagine going into a regular job at eleven thirty in the morning just because it suited you better that day to do so. Chances are they wouldn�t be happy about it.
But as the boss you can do this if you wish because you have control over your working hours and work only when it suits you. But you do need to be a bit careful because there is no one looking over your shoulder reminding you to do certain things at certain times. If you don�t get the work done when it needs to be done you will end up losing clients and your business could be at risk.
It is essential therefore to make sure you have methods of hitting deadlines every single time, no matter what might be happening around you. It�s easy to get a job which should take you 10 hours and block out 10 hours on your calendar to complete it. But if you block out the last possible 10 hours you aren�t leaving any breathing space available as a cushion in case anything urgent arises.
Let�s say for example you have a day�s work that needs to be sent off by Friday night. If you block out Friday for doing it you aren�t leaving any space in case anything should happen to ruin your plans. But if you allocated say Wednesday for the job instead, you would have two extra days in lieu in case anything went wrong.
Supposing you sat down to do the work and your internet connection went down or you had a power cut? If that happened on Friday you wouldn�t have a chance of getting the work done in time. But the same situation on Wednesday wouldn�t be as panic stricken. This is because you know you have two extra days to use if you need them, which gives you time to solve the problem and get the work done as well.
Of course you might want to get everything done more than two days in advance. But this is typically a good cushion to have, and it covers most issues which could crop up. And of course for the most part nothing will happen to scupper your plans, which means you can get the work done two days early and impress the client with your timeliness. So in a way this method has an exciting bonus in store which you can always count on if you stick to your own deadline instead of that of the client.
As you start to use this in your everyday business life when you are working from home you will notice yourself being less stressed as well. This is because you won�t have the same sense of urgency about each deadline. Even the smallest thing won�t throw you off balance because you know you have time to cope with it.
