I don’t know about you other work at home moms – but listening to music can totally make my task list a little  easier to get through.
Sitting at a computer all day, almost every day can be exhausting. It may sound like it wouldn’t make you tired – but it does. I start to feel like a caged animal. I get ants in my pants.  Of course sitting is one of the worst positions for the human body to be in – and lack of exercise is doubly bad. So the sooner I get my work done – and get up and out of my little home office – the happier (and healthier) I am.

Of course, many of you know – I am a huge music lover. I play guitar, worked in radio for years….and just have always been a  fan of music. All kinds of music. But even so….if you’re maybe not a HUGE fanatic like me – just hear me out. I have found that having music on – especially music I like – a playlist I created (with iTunes it’s easier than ever to listen to the music you love whenever and where ever you want!) some how tames the fidgets.

It might seem that music could be a distraction. But I have found that music occupies the restless part of my brain so that I can GET the stuff done here at my desk that I need to get done. Maybe there is some kind of science behind it – I don’t know? But it’s almost a calming medicine for my twirling, whirling brain.

Some days it’s Bon Jovi and Def Leppard (Hey!! I’m an 80′s girl!) Some days it’s Brittney, Alanis and Big Head Todd and the Monsters….
It just depends. But I promise – if you’re having this same kind of “can’t sit and focus” and just “get it done” issue while your putting in your “work at home” hours – you might try it.

Rock ON!

Does listening to music help you through your work at home shift? What’s on your playlist? Share!

Kelly Land is a work at home mom! She’s happily married and the mother of two super cool, smart kids! Her website MoneyMakingMommy.com is a top rated work at home site, created in 1999. When Kelly’s not rocking out at her desk and researching work at home – she’s usually outside in her flower garden or writing songs and playing her guitar on the porch of her family’s Weaverville, NC cottage.

Yes…YOU are a star in the world of home based businesses. You rock.
That’s why I want you as a guest blogger! I want to grab that ole hot and sassy spotlight and shine it
right on YOU!

BUT – now….before you get all crazy, remember….
I’m looking for moms that run a home based business! I’m not looking for some crappy little doodle of writing that does nothing more than serve as a garnish for your crappy “get rich quick” scheme url. NO no no.

I want REAL women – that can offer insight into their world of home based business.

So lets set some criteria. Shall we?

1. Blog post HAS to be about a home based business that you do. OR it can be about helping moms  (tips, ideas) on how to run a home based business better: For example balancing family and work or staying healthy at home, staying connected…..you get the idea. It can also be about a product or service that might be helpful for moms at home or moms that run a home based business. But it has to have some MEAT to it. Not just some fluff piece.

2. Of course you want to link to YOUR site of blog. That’s cool. Of course. Please include a little bio at the bottom of your post, just don’t write a novel. A short paragraph and one link is good.

3. Please send me a picture of some sort to put with your post. Pictures are nice. Readers love pictures. It doesn’t have to be of you…..it can be your company’s logo (if that’s allowed) or your dog…..whatever.

4. The HomeBasedBusinessMom.com blog is a Google PR 3 rank blog that is relatively popular. So bring quality and information to the site – not just a press release that you hope helps you recruit and build your downline or sell products.

5. I think at least 500 words is a good start. If you have less to say than that…then you’re probably just looking for a free link or exposure and nothing more.

6. Some posts just won’t make the cut. Sorry. I reserve the right to not include some posts – but I will make every effort to post them all if they are worthy.

So who will be our first HOME BASED BUSINESS MOM DIVA in the spotlight?? Maybe YOU!!
