How to be Productive When Working at Home

This past weekend I was up in the mountains of Asheville at my future in-laws mountain house to do some wedding planning. Their house is tucked away in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and I couldn’t help but notice how focused I was there versus when I am back at home working in my home office. When working at home, if feels like there are endless amounts of menial chores that can derail my focus for hours. There always seems to be a little voice telling me things like “I’ll start working right after I clean the house”, or “I just need to run one errand and then I will sit down and focus on what I need to do today”. I’ve talked with friends who say they often feel the same way, so I thought I’d share a few tips that have helped me focus when working at home.

So why should you hire a professional designer?Steve Jobs is quoted as saying “Design is not just what it looks like and feels likes. Design is how it works.” This holds so much truth. When you hire a graphic designer, you are getting much more than visually appealing graphics. A small investment in design can go a long way in terms of business success.
