Tips for working from home!
Having worked remotely for the last few years and being self employed means I have had to learn to be self motivated! It's not always easy but here are some tips to help you if you are new to this!
Create a permanent work space if you can
Set time blocks - 90 minutes
Have boundaries with your housemates/family.
Communicate with those around you your requirements for your productivity
Create a to do list the night before
Work on one thing at a time.
Plan and prepare meals
Don't become the house maid
Leave the House for some fresh air at least twice - if this isn't possible at least leave the office space area if possible
Get dressed and even do your make up if you feel more alive and on it
Take some mid day exercise
Organise some video calls with colleagues but not too many!
Have a change of scenery often.
Know when to log off.
How to know you have been procrastinating!
All the laundry is done
The pantry has been cleaned out
And house is spotless - great but whats the priority?
