As far as flexibility and ease of work is concerned, Jeff Paul's marketing techniques are rather interesting for those operating from home. they are not only easy to access but are known to be helping people make hundreds of thousands of dollars in just a few months. i found his books very captivating too. a very interesting and useful article indeed. we should develop a blance between work and relaxation ourselves if we are operating from home.

For me the perfect solution is a combination of structured *and* flexible scheduling, as discussed above -- though it seems to be a constant learning process as things change from year to year. The most beneficial factor being able to adapt with those changes and consistently keep a good balance between the structured business-management tasks and the flexibility needed for creative work.

You posted some great ideas there. I have always gotten myself to abide by a strict daily schedule working from home, thinking that it would be simple. And well, time tells otherwise. It's not easy sticking to a fixed schedule. I am re-working my schedules, and I'm sure your suggestions would work out very well. Thanks for the great tips! Lee Hi Lynn,

It’s not easy sticking to a fixed schedule. I am re-working my schedules, and I’m sure your suggestions would work out very well.

Thanks for the great tips!

As for the spam comment issue, its a new one on me too - but I went to her blog and searched out the source and it certainly has me curious to research it more. At any rate, welcome to ClickNewz - I've enjoyed your comments and look forward to hearing more from you!

I must admit to finding Alice's comments somewhat cryptic and confusing... seems some of the other commenters were confused as well.. Anyways, I agree with your observations in the thread you linked to, that Tim Ferriss' book isn't a step-by-step blueprint -- but it nevertheless did open my eyes to the possibilities out there. :-) Best regards, - Sharon Hi Lynn,

These are exactly the sort of things I'm struggling to setup now. Simpleology has certainly helped, but your suggestions can only make it all the more helpful. I like the regular time pockets and daily core checklist Jan mentioned. Automated and consistent is definitely better than the alternative. Say, after your get-together in Nashville (after the hangover has lifted ;) ), perhaps a full, exhaustive and comprehensive report of how to put all this in place would be in order. Or just the basics... Possible report ala Fast Cash? A teamup with Jan? That all sounds good to me, Lynny!

You'll find my review of the 4-Hour Work Week at: http://www.clicknewz.com/745/review-4-hour-workweek-by-timothy-ferriss/ As for James Brausch, there has been some very recent discussion on him - and his methods - here recently that dont shed a very positive light on him. I havent kept up with him myself, but the comments are coming from fellow readers - so that's something I'm looking into. Its an off-topic thread on an unrelated blog post, but it starts here if you're interested: http://www.clicknewz.com/1315/just-how-shocking-is-the-shocking-video/#comment-105177 All that aside, the vagabond lifestyle is not one I desire personally. I have developed a rewarding career and financial security, and am investing in a new home and solid roots for my children in the Cumberland Valley. To each his own, right? I certainly respect those who want to travel freely in that manner, but its not for everyone. I do like to travel though, and fortunately can do that anytime I please :D Hi Sharon,

Thanks for sharing that! I've done quite a bit of reading on the topic this past week and there are some obvious similarities in those who are (or feel, or seem) productive. Its not far at all from how I manage my own work schedule, though I'm convinced it could use a little more <i>deliberate</i> structure at times. Jan – I love the ‘time pocket’ and circuit concepts.

One of the great "artists" of the flexible work schedule is Tim Ferriss, whose book "The Four-Hour Work Week" was a best-seller last year. Another example is James Brausch, creator of the "Freedom Business System". Both of these gentlemen now work less than 4 hours per week, and travel around the world, yet their incomes continue to increase. Sure, it takes extra effort and commitment to set this all up (and time). But in the long run, the rewards are definitely worth it. (And no, I haven't attained that yet, but I'm definitely on the right path!) :-) -Sharon Great post!
