13 Tips For Staying Productive Working From Home
- Get Your Home Office All Set Up. Monitor, keyboard, mouse, chair, printer… get everything you need set up the way you like it.
- Maintain A Dedicated Office Space. You need an office space that is for business only. Your work setup should be separate from your personal setup.
- Use Quality Technology To Stay Connected. You need basic technology to stay connected — project management, collaboration, communication and document management.
- Sustain Regular Hours. Make a schedule and stick to it. Know when to work and when to call it a day.
- Have A Morning Routine. Routines help us get in the groove. Establish a routine to get into the right headspace.
- Get Dressed. Taking a shower and getting properly dressed goes a long way towards feeling energized and ready for the day.
- Have A Sit-Down With The Family And Lay Out A Few Rules. Have a family meeting and lay some ground rules about the space you need to be productive working from home.
- Take Breaks. Allow yourself to take a lunch hour and a couple fifteen-minute breaks to clear your head.
- Exercise And Stretch Periodically. Exercise gives your body a jolt of endorphins. Take one of those breaks and stretch or go for a walk. You’ll feel so much better afterwards.
- Leave Home If You Can. Try to step away from your workspace regularly. The fresh air and natural light are a welcome sight.
- Discover Your High Productivity Peaks. Find out what your most productive times of day are and build your work schedule around those periods.
- Update Your To-Do List Every Day. It can be challenging to keep track of your priority items, tasks and deadlines. Make it a habit to use a to-do list and update it daily.
- Check In With Coworkers Frequently. Set aside the time to meet with your team and catch up. It’s healthy for you and healthy for them… and everyone feels more connected.
