Everyone loves the idea of working from home, but the reality is that you will either end up working much harder, or you will become the master of procrastination!
Having worked from home for the past 22 years, I’ve learned a few hacks that come in handy when you work from home.
Set Yourself 30 Minutes Tasks:
Set a timer on your phone and once that time is up, reflect on what you have done in that time. Get up and get a coffee or have a walk around the house and then set yourself another 30 minutes.
Treat Your Work as You Would If You Were in The Workplace:
You wouldn’t take a personal call from your partner in the middle of a meeting in the office. Make sure your friends and family know that you are working. If necessary, put a sign on your office door.
Take a Proper lunch Break:
It’s all too easy to grab a snack from the kitchen and take it back to your desk and continue working. Closing the office door and move to another room and make yourself a sandwich or some soup and switch off for a full hour.
Schedule Your Day:
Every evening, schedule the following day. I always clear my emails first thing in the morning and make any calls I need to make, giving me the rest of the day to get work done.
Get Outside:
If at all possible, take your office outside. The sounds of nature and the sun on your face will make you feel better. You’ll feel so much better for it and will still be productive.
