Over the past few years, remote working has become the new average worldwide. The Covid-19 pandemic has taken an impact on businesses and the workforce. It is influencing companies to implement a flexible approach to the work environment. An increasing number of people are working from home regularly regardless of government-mandated requirements. Whether you're searching for remote job opportunities or considering working from home a few days a week, it's essential to learn how to properly work from home to be efficient at your job. So we will be offering some great tips to help you maintain productivity when working remotely.
Individuals have had to adapt to a remote working style thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic and the constant evolution of technology. Small businesses and multinational corporations worldwide are introducing work from home policies in response to the pandemic. While having the flexibility to work from home may be a dream job for some, switching from an office environment to your own home can reveal challenging surprises. But working from home isn’t all bad. There can be some benefits to doing so.
Even though working from home has great benefits, you will face many distractions, such as less accountability and less communication, than working in an office setting. Several major distractions that will compete with your productivity are social media, replying to notifications & messages, housework, family and pets at home. This doesn’t mean you can’t still be efficient. You can do many things to boost your productivity when working from home.
Whether you’re new to remote working, work from home every day, or are just looking to improve your efficiency, these tips can help you efficiently work from home.
Having a morning routine can be very powerful as it helps us set the tone for the day and allows us to take control of our schedules rather than our to-do lists controlling us. Morning routines aren’t focused on ticking as many things off our to-do lists. Instead, it is about giving yourself the time to begin your day mindfully with confidence, peace and a positive attitude.
There are several physical and emotional benefits to having a morning routine.
Working and living in the same space can be tricky (especially if you have little ones around), but this is something millions have had to adapt to in the last few years. Here are our tips for creating a productive working space in your home.
One step to staying productive is to plan your working day before you start. It's a great exercise to do the night before. You will notice that you sleep better without the additional stress. You may be tempted to give yourself flexible start and end times, but creating a regular schedule that you can follow will aid in your productivity. Scheduling your day will keep you accountable for yourself and your employer.
If you're considering following our previous steps, you'll have already scheduled breaks throughout the day. Ensure you get up from your desk during your breaks go outside and get some fresh air or play with a pet. This will help you reset and get your blood flowing and stay focused for longer. A 2011 study found that workers who took two short breaks remained consistently productive when completing tasks. However, when a group of employees took no breaks, their performance declined significantly. Another study found that highly efficient employees worked for 50 minutes and then took a 15-20 minute break.
A helpful technique to improve focus and concentration is the Pomodoro technique. It's an excellent method as it sets regular work hours and breaks. Learn more about this method in the video below.
Figure out how much interaction you need to feel connected and included. Working from home can get pretty lonely and worse if you're isolating. Even if you're introverted, try and interact with your colleagues through different channels such as a team video chat through Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp.
The work from home tips we have provided can help you make the most of your routine. Try a few and you might find that you’re just as productive working from home as you are in the office. Figure out what works for you and make your routine unique.
