So, what are the tips you must follow while working at home? Here are 4 tips to stay productive when working from home:
- Don’t be in Bed
Starting from when you wake up. This is one of the most common mistakes committed by home workers. Lot of them just wake up, get freshened up, grab their laptop and throw themselves on the bed again.
But this is not a good practice and must be avoided. Your mind in such position never makes you attentive towards work and you sleepy after some time. Instead, choose a private sitting position to work. This will make you mentally ready!
- Schedule it
There are many who won’t follow this. But believe me, to keep yourself on track of workloads, this is one of the most effective tips.
Segregate your day in first half and second half. Divide your task for the day into 2 halves and then commence. Try it!
And, yes! Don’t forget to have short breaks.
- Hide your Phone
Mobile phones! It will not be wrong blaming them the root cause of most of your distractions. The frequent pop-ups, spam calls and other notifies often takes you off track. What most of you would suggest is putting it on ‘silent’ mode.
Try this – Hide your phone behind your laptop (Don’t forget to put it on silent)
- Turn ON lights
Some psychological tips – Turn ON the white LED lights of your room. The natural sunlight might seem fresh and effective for you to work. But remember you need to make the environment office-like. Turning ON electric lights might help you. This will help you stay focused in your work.
