Are you self-mot 2. Are you self-motivated? Since you won’t have your boss or co-workers to motivate you, you’ll have to do it yourself. Working from home requires someone who can work on their own without a lot of direct supervision. Can you maintain a high level of work output on your own? 3. Do you have a dedicated work space that you can use for your home office? You will probably find that your best bet to help separate your work and personal life is to have a dedicated work area (ie. a room solely used as your home office) to really set out your work space.

If you have a room in your house that you can use strictly for work, you’ll probably find it easier to walk away from work every night and concentrate on your personal life for a few hours! 4.
