My Working From Home Holiday Schedule

I’ve always loved the holidays, especially the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s. I cook, decorate and spend time with my family. And I love every minute of it.

When I worked in the corporate world I always tried to schedule at least one week’s vacation between Christmas and New Year’s. But what would always seem to happen is a special project had to be done. Even if I didn’t have to forfeit my vacation, I would have to work like crazy and be exhausted when it was finally had the time off.

That’s the wonderful thing about working from home. I make my and decide how the work is to be done. Whether it’s the Christmas holidays or a long summer break, I can schedule my time and still keep my businesses running.

Now that doesn’t mean I just don’t work and forget about making money. I have to  plan and that’s the key. So when I want time off I have to write articles for my blog and websites beforehand. As a regular course of action I try to plan out a writing schedule a month or more in advance. When I know I’m going to also be taking time off I add that to my planning so I can get those articles written and ready to schedule.

I also have to think ahead for my online selling platforms when I’m going to take time off. I have to make sure all of my listings are done for eBay and that I’ve scheduled to close my store for vacation. I also have to make sure I sent in enough product to Amazon to sell through the. I’ll be not working.

But I can do it and it’s one of the top benefits of working from home.

In the coming weeks I’ll be giving you a few glimpses of how I actually work. Be sure to check back often and see what I’m up to.
