These are certainly interesting times and for many of us working from home is new and for some, perhaps challenging so here are some tips to help ease the transition and help you focus in your new working environment.
- If you can, stake out a space away from the rest of the household, ideally a separate room with a door you can close if needed.
- Make sure the household knows, you are working between 8 am and 5 pm, or whatever your hours are. Tell them to pretend you’re not home otherwise you may get more distractions than you think. My family texts me as if I am working at the office.
- I also put up a sign on the door, to let the rest of the family know when I was in a meeting, especially if it’s a video conference.
- Make sure the space has some natural light. It’s amazing how natural light can help your mood.
- Maintain the same or similar routine as you had when you went into work. Although the idea of working in your jammies may be appealing, there is some psychology behind performing the same routine as you did previously, it will help you get into the swing of things.
- Remember to take your breaks (coffee break, lunch, etc) as you would have if you were in the office.
- Remember to get up and move around regularly, in the office you likely got up to see a colleague or refill your water or coffee. Working from home, there is no colleague to go see. I used to set an alarm to go off every hour to remind me to get up and walk around, or I used time on the phone to walk and stretch out.
- Give yourself a time out, take 5 minutes and go outside and get some fresh air. You’d be surprised how much that helps to re-focus.
- Set a consistent start time
- Take a shower
- Prepare your coffee
- Prepare your breakfast
- Or whatever else was part of your former routine read more...
