With more and more people working virtually these days, I wanted to share a few tips that I've picked up over the years. Working from home can sound fun at first, but this isn't a snow day.
When working from home, there are a lot of things that can limit productivity. Environmental things, and mental things. So here are a few ways you can ensure you maintain (or even increase) productivity while working virtually.
- Get up on time or close to the same time each day.
- Get clean and get dressed each day (don't stay in your PJ's).
- Keep moving throughout the day.
- Create a semi-permanent work-space.
- Keep in touch with a community (peers, colleagues, friends).
- Use video whenever possible to stay connected.
- Get a system in place for workflow and managing tasks.
Whether you're a business owner, or you work for a company, working from home requires some structure and discipline. I hope you find these quick tips helpful and maximizers to your productivity.
