I've been working from home for several years now. Particularly for anyone transitioning to freelance work, it can be hard to set boundaries (you don't want to miss out on any potential work, right?!) But I think establishing set hours and following them just adds a sense of professionalism to your business in the long run. Laurie – just found your blog and your comments really hit home!

Constant interruptions keep us from getting our work done. By taking calls from clients during certain hours, you'll increase your productivity AND you'll protect that precious personal time when you're not working. Laurie…This is a terrific idea!
