I immediately identified with this independent MLM distributor. She started working at home in 2005 and suddenly people called her all day, wanted her to run errands, wanted her to drop everything and go shopping all day, etc.
That’s because when you work at home, people think you really don’t work at all and that you’re immediately available for any chore or fun they want to plan for you.
This article suggests a calendar program and an egg timer. I think I need to run by Wal Mart and get an egg timer!

Great advice. Not sure about the egg timer though. If it is work it has to have a start time, breaks and an end time otherwise days vanish while you are in front of this time eater. Then again the more opportunities you have on auto pilot the better but these can be few and far between. I think I found a good one though.

I have a lock on the door to my home office. I used to use it quite a bit, but now less frequently. Sometimes you have to forego the subtle tactics in order to make your point.
My work comes first, next to my families needs, but freinds and fun will have to work around my schedule. Internet Marketing is fun anyway, so I am really not missing out on anything.
