Keep your personal phone calls and emails to a minimum, just as you would if you worked in an outside office. Within those hours, set aside time on your calendar for a lunch break (at least 30 minutes) and a few short breaks throughout the day. Others think that they have liability coverage provided under their homeowner's policy.
