As someone who has worked from home, in some capacity, for the past 15 years, I understand just how important it is to keep a routine. As with all things in life, discipline and good habits determine how productive I will be and how well I will perform my job.

One of the best ways to ensure success as a remote worker is to set aside a room or space in your house or apartment as your home office. This doesn’t have to be a fancy or elaborate setup, but having a designated space at which to work is important when it comes to separating work from personal tasks. And depending on your line of work, a comprehensive and professional phone solution may be a huge asset when it comes to communicating with co-workers, clients and others.

Phone.com, a company that specializes in cloud-based business phone services, can be a major benefit for remote workers. The service is affordable and offers all the features and functionality of enterprise phone service at a price point that is very attractive to small businesses and remote workers.

Having a designated, professional place to conduct business in the home is one of the keys to success as a remote worker. And a solution like Phone.com (News - Alert) can certainly help with remote workers’ availability and professionalism. With the right amount of dedication, discipline and scheduling, remote work can be a huge benefit to both companies and employees.
