text: If you're a stay at home Mum that is looking to make some extra money to get by, working from home can be a great option for you. There are many different jobs that can be done, like online tutoring, writing, advertising, and filling out surveys, so the possibilities are there. But if you're worried about how you'll manage from home – this is good. A lot of people assume that it will be easy because, well, you're at home, but this only makes things harder. For example, you will be a lot more prone to distraction and may find it harder to concentrate on the task at hand.
  You can't expect to work in the middle of the living room with your children running around and your partner watching the tv. No matter how good you are at multitasking – this isn't the right environment for you to be in.
  If you have a spare room, turn it into your workspace. Close the door and let the light in (natural if possible), that way you'll be able to focus your energy on the job and avoid any possible distractions. If you don't have a spare room, find the quietest space and clear it up so that it's clutter-free. Clutter will not only pull the eye away from your work, but it will also have a negative impact on your mind and create mess, just like what's in front of you.
  Most work that is possible to do at home will require a computer, along with the internet. Without this you will not be able to coordinate with your employer, send emails, write messages, view websites, etc. So you will need to make sure that you have a good wifi connection. The Smart Future has a list of reviews in order to find the best kind of wifi router for the job at hand.
  You will also need a telephone. Sometimes a cell phone is enough, but some companies may require you to have a landline if you are having to call potential customers and clients.
  You may think being on the sofa sounds rather comfortable, but when you have to stare at a computer screen for a number of hours – it's just not the right way. The sofa won't be able to support your back how it needs to, and having a laptop placed on your lap will put your neck in an awkward position. While it may feel okay at the time, your body will soon react negatively in the months to come.
  It's absolutely worth investing in a desk and a professional office chair to ensure that you are taking care of your body. The computer screen should be level with your eyes, and your back should be supported in the chair so that it doesn't curve over at the spine.
