How To Work From Home (& Not Go Crazy)

Whether your passion is for freelance work or you're trying to be a stay-at-home mom, working from home can be a freeing -- yet finger-tapping -- experience! Freelancers and at-home-mommies alike may find themselves mercilessly glued to their laptop or kid(s) with little time or motivation to exercise, see friends, or turn themselves off temporarily from their money-making hobby for a moment of peace and sanity.

Following are some tips that may keep you from getting burnt out with your stay-at-home profession.

How To Work From Home With Ease

Exercise. This is probably the most vital component of remaining sane and fit as an at-home worker. Try waking up and going to bed with pilates and/or taking 10-15 minute walks a couple times a day. If time and funds permit, buy a gym membership and hit the weights or treadmill 2-3 times a week. All the better if you have at-home gym equipment.

Make dates with friends. Try to schedule lunches or other affairs with friends or family throughout the week to get yourself out of the house and socializing with those you care about.

Eat healthy. While it's easy to reach for fast food or ramen noodles -- or worse, chips and soda -- for your between time snacks, take the extra time you have to shop for and prepare healthy meals for yourself. You'd be amazed at how much more productive you are when you feed yourself better fuel. Be sure as well to drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Get some sun. Keep your B-vitamin levels high to beat depression or stress and maintain energy. Get out in the sun for a while. Take your vitamin B complex over a glass of water.
