Tips on Negotiating for Flex-Time in the Workplace

-Evaluate your most productive time period at work. If you find you accomplish the most office work when you're alone -- because you come in earlier or stay later than everyone else -- you should consider flex-time.

-Make your case: Identify the professional skill that is most compromised when you're interrupted or distracted at the office.

-Assess how others see you: Determine what others perceive to be your foremost talent or value and point out how that can improve with flex-time.

-Evaluate your commute time.
