While you may think before you start a home based business that it will be easy since you can work it around family activities, that isn't quite how it works. You will either find yourself buried in work or putting things off since the kids want to got out for lunch or to the park, etc. One of the main secrets of having a successful on line business, especially one conducted from home is organization.
Here is an interesting article that I received the other day and since the author says it better than I can, I will refer you to it instead of trying to paraphrase it. The name of the article is The Challenge of Working from Home 4 Steps to Focus . Just click on the article name to be taken to it. You might also want to sign up for their newsletter while there.

While I have always been an organized person, I have much more trouble keeping to a schedule of any kind these days as my health causes me to have many bad days out of the blue. But I try to focus on what is the most important thing for me to be doing. For me that is the on line stores I run, http://www.MoonwishesSewingandCrafts.com as well as http://www.amazon.com/shops/moonwishes . Then my crafting blog. After that comes my reading and review blog as well as this one. I don't purposely put off this blog, but as I don't earn anything from it and I do earn from my stores, that has to be where my concentration is. Eventually I want to be able to spend more time on my blogs and writing in general for pay since my health is only going downhill and eventually I won't be able to deal with packaging orders, etc. That will be a sad day.
