Despite my best efforts at preparation, summer is wreaking havoc on my home business schedule. I’ve had to change my regular work hours around to accomodate two facts:

1. My son is not in school as long (he is going to an educational day camp for four hours, three days a week).

2. My husband’s student assistantship doesn’t take up as much time, so he wants to do more.

The day camp idea is rendered partially useless, because #2 means that my husband is excited that we can use the time that my son is being watched by someone else to spend quality time together, just the two of us. While admirable and fun, it cuts into my work time. So I’ve been doing more in the evening, which I hate. I’m much more productive during the day.

But that is life for someone working from home. Flexibility is a must, and summer time often throws the entire schedule out the window. But I am working out a sort-of schedule that is providing me some stability and productivity.

Is summer messing with your home business work schedule?
