Know your work pattern: Consider what makes you more productive: being proactive well in advance or sweating things out under a tight deadline.

Keep a comprehensive to-do list: Whether you seek to stay ahead of the game or you spring into action at the last minute, keeping track of all you need to accomplish is particularly
important.

Set up a comfortable workspace: Discipline away from the office often derives from a setting that singularly represents work. No matter where you are, earmark a particular spot for work.

Look at time in a different manner: Time — or, rather, the lack of a regular schedule of events, can lead to downtime and, conceivably, a lapse in productivity.

Keep the paper moving: Paper management is critical. File those documents with which you’re finished and recycle any and all papers you don’t need any more.

Keep in touch with the office, but thoughtfully: Communicating with the folks downtown tailor your communication.

Know the dangers of procrastination: Putting off necessary tasks is particularly destructive when you are away from the office.
