Yes, having the radio on is a good idea. Apart from this one, do you know of any other forums?
There are of course lots of bonuses to working at home, and I'm sure I'll start to really enjoy it when I get stuck in to my new job, but the Winter months are always a drag, eh?
I have just started out as a freelance editor/journalist. I work on a specialist magazine. It's my dream job, and lots of responsibility (let's forget the finance situation, however!!) the problem at the moment is adjusting to working from home.
I used to work for a huge company in a busy office and so I'm finding it pretty hard to adjust now. I have always been self-motivated and am comfortable with my own company but I'm finding this pretty lonely. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions?
I'm hoping that signing up to an online forum of fellow home workers will help...
