4 Insanely productive work from home habits to adopt
How is "working" from home working out for you? If you are anything like me then you've probably found it extremely difficult to stay productive.
Here are some of my top distractions:
- News check - got to see what the latest experts are saying.
- Kitchen Raid - regular one-hour visits to see what cookies are available.
- The Notification blackhole - Facebook, Insta, Teams, Email, Messenger, Whatsapp got to check em all!
- Kids/partner - you don't see them all day when working in the office but when it comes to working from home, well you see them every 10 minutes.
1) Dress for work
All of the remote workers had this as one of their best tips. A bit like making your bed, being strict with yourself about your appearance and what you wear when you work goes a long way.
2) Have a dedicated workspace
Having a specific area where you work helps you get into the right mindset.
3) Set clear boundaries
Let your family know when you're working and when you're available.
4) Take regular breaks
The Pomodoro technique works well for many - work for 25 minutes, break for 5.
