One important aspect of working from home is to make a decision on where you will put your home office. You can put an office in a spare bedroom, attic, basement, kitchen, or garage. Even in a closet, if the space is available. You must make a decision on where you will put your office. This separates the everyday stuff like laundry, visitors, cleaning etc. that goes on in a household. Pick an area that is not a noisy, high traffic area. If you live with a spouse, children, or roommate, it can be a challenge. You need to set boundaries. You must treat your office as a "real" office.

If you have employees either in your office or virtual, this helps them also.
The second most critical aspect of working from home is that you need a good follow-up system. What I mean by a follow-up system is that you need a system in place for unfinished work, tasks, and projects. This will help you stay on top of everything that is going on in your work. If you don't have a system in place, important items in your work can slip through the cracks. Therefore can lead you into a mess that you will need to clean up later.
