I am a night owl so even though I`m up around 7am I don`t do anything&#160;(without being crabby) until after 10am except drink coffee, check email and check out the forums that I`m a member of.

				<description><![CDATA[The work never seems to stop. But there has to come a time when you need to walk away from it all to get other things done. Set a schedule. I have hours for my home based business. 8am -5pm, this is of course when I make myself available for my clients to [...]]]></description>

  It didn`t take me long to learn that my business could very easily run my life if I didn`t set some limits for myself.&#160; I set apart a certain amount of time each day to work&#160;IN my business (i.e., taking care of clients) and a cert]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[I try to stick to 9 to 5. Course I`m home so if I`m on lunch watching soaps or doing laundry, I take the call. I also get irritated when I get calls after 5 but some of my clients are on the West Coast, so I`ve got to keep that in mind.

  I would keep office hours but then the local coffee shop would go broke, the barrista would lose her job, the importers would go into liquidation, and Jamaica`s economy would collapse.

				<description><![CDATA[Jennifer, I think you`ve got a fine balance, from what you`re saying.
If I read it rightly, then you work 11 hours and 15 minutes each day,
with two 15-minute breaks (for other work), and hopefully, 20 minutes

  I absolutely keep "office hours" although they tend to be more flexible.&#160; It`s hard to get up at 6am and not be in your office by 6:45, and that includes a shower, and work until 6pm.&#160; For my state of mind I try and take a 15 minute brea]]></description>
