Sorting out your focus while working can be difficult, especially when your workspace isn’t isolated from the remainder of your home. You need a personal place to work, where you can shut the door and not be disturbed by the world on the other side of it. Every week, make a work routine and discipline yourself to keep to it. You are your own chairman now, and your sole worker, so you have got to keep yourself in line in order to have a high production yield. Set goals for yourself, and time limits inside which to complete each project. Provide time at the start and end of your work hours to check your email and make your responses courteous, but as transient as possible. If a lengthy business call or a family emergency cuts into your scheduled work hours, attempt to compensate by working a little longer for 2 days. Having discipline doesn’t mean standing over yourself with a whip or adamantly sticking to your schedule, come what may, but barring surprising events that need your immediate attention, you diligently apply yourself to your business in the time you have set aside for it.
When you treat your amethyst gemstone jewelry making as a business, so will others. Eventually everyone will become accustomed to the changes you make to accommodate your new business schedule, and honoring your work time will become part of the daily routine. As your business grows, you almost surely will need to adjust your working routine to keep up with the clamor for your blue sapphire jewelry, but if you worked outside your house before turning your hobby into a business, it is going to be like returning to a former routine, and won’t seem such an extreme change to your folks.
