There you sit, in your spiffy new office - whether it's in the corner of the sitting room or in a converted - surrounded by your equally spiffy new toys...your computer, desk and some strategically placed shelves.

Your new multi-function center will print stuff, fax stuff and copy stuff. (It won't hang out the washing, but hey, you can't have everything.)

You've even got work coming-in and the immediate worry within call making a living has vanished. Hooray! You really *can* work from home!

At first, working at home is pure bliss. Then you get a week when everybody and their dog seems to want your services. thanks to putting in a few late nights, you meet all the deadlines and think; phew...I'm glad that's over! You decide to relax and give yourself a day off. owing to all, you worked all through the weekend and earned it, right?

Unfortunately, the following week you find yourself off to a bad start trying to make-up for your day off. prior to you know it, you find that you're dropping further and further behind. You reflect gloomily that when you were working for someone else, at least at the end of the day you were finished...what didn't get done didn't get done!

Well, it's time to take heart and set a few simple strategies in place that will keep you in control of your time...and your sanity.

=== 1. Do NOT believe without reservation Any New Work This Week. ===

Take a good look at what you have on your plate now, and charily plan the week ahead. Your aim is to regain control. Tell new clients that you are fully booked, but you can put them on a priority list to be phoned next week. (This will not only leave you to lure up, but make your services speak out highly in demand.)

=== 2. fashion In Time For Leisure and Rest. ===

Not only for this week, but EVERY week. A half hour walk; a twenty-minute go downhill in the sun with a cup of coffee; a quick swim or a movie outing with friends - all these employ can recharge your batteries. You will find that you can take care of far more when you are rested and alert. (How many times have you sat at the computer staring at the screen, achieving very little, now you're over-tired?)

=== 3. Tackle Urgent Tasks First. ===

If you're behind, your first step must be to contact all clients and cut out firm new deadlines. Make sure you base these new deadlines on what you CAN achieve, not what you HOPE you can achieve. If any existing prospect needs your services or products urgently, bump them up the queue.

=== 4. Prioritize Remaining Tasks. ===

Scrap any that is not essential, and delegate what you can. Consider involving family, stock company entourage or friends to handle some tasks. (Warning: do not hand over tasks that must be chosen out only by you as the principal of the business. Your reputation is important.)

=== 5. Set workable Daily Goals. ===

If you finish a task ahead of time of schedule, head into the next... but hold together to a definite cut-off time each day. What you are doing this week is establishing a system that will continue to work for you.

Getting out of trouble when your line of business is in overload is just like getting out of debt. Your palaver rating is similar to your credit rating - nothing can be gained by denying that a problem exists. Nothing can be gained by slipping deeper into the mire. Call a halt; contact the main players; set workable strategies in place and you can quickly regroup.

Before you know it, your home free trade dream will be on track once more.
