One important aspect of working from home is to make a decision on where you will put your home office. You can put an office in a spare bedroom, attic, basement, kitchen, or garage. Even in a closet, if the space is available. You must make a decision on where you will put your office. This separates the everyday stuff like laundry, visitors, cleaning etc. that goes on in a household. Pick an area that is not a noisy, high traffic area. If you live with a spouse, children, or roommate, it can be a challenge. You need to set boundaries. You must treat your office as a "real" office.
