- Business Got You Stressed? How Do You Spell Relief?
By: Sandy Reed | - When you are a home-based business owner, time becomes an issue more often than when you're someone else's employee. When I worked for AT&T, it was very easy to separate my work time from my personal time. Now that I work at home, the lines of division have become blurred and I tend to think about work, even when I'm not at my desk. I no longer have children at home, so I don't have to worry about robbing them of my time, but I know I'm robbing myself of down time - time to rejuvenate my body ...
