Startup working from home cum office - The biggest challenge

As this blog points out, the biggest problem working from home is self discipline. You tend to work on internet where theres a very thin line between your work and facebook/gmail.

It might happen that you are in front of your laptop 12 hours a day but still nothing gets done the whole day. This happens because there is no boundary between work and leisure and as a result your productivity sucks. The problem gets worse in a startup when you have no bosses to tell you what to do.

However the first link mentions a few ways to streamline your work schedule and get the most out of it. These are:

• Decide on the number of work hours per week or may be decide the max number of working hours in day.

• Decide the most important work

• Postpone the unimportant works

• Always have the big picture in mind.

• Have regular meetings and a healthy communication with teammates.
