30 tips to help you get through working from home
1. Workspace
One of the most important things that help you work better is to provide yourself with a space dedicated to you, in which you spend your work times, invest in a desk and a chair to work in a comfortable nature, and do not forget that you spend long hours at work, you must feel comfortable and that this place is your own.
2. Determine working hours
Working from home doesn’t mean chaos, so you should set your own working hours and work schedule and stick to it.
3. Dress-up
Working from home does not mean that you neglect your appearance and wear pajamas, treat yourself as if you work in a company and go out to meet your colleagues, dress up and wear clean clothes.
4. Close the door
During your work, you should close the door to the room in which you work. It is not easy at first, especially since your family is around you all the time, but closing the door gives you more privacy and a better ability to focus.
5. Organize your workplace
Don’t let your papers, computer wires, and phone scattered on top of each other, but put everything in order and keep the place where you work clean and tidy in order to produce better.
6. Turn off your phone
The phone is one of the biggest distractions that waste time. Website alerts, frequent phone rings, and messages from friends are things that you should stay away from while working so that you don’t waste time and be able to do as much work as possible in less time.
7. Never stop working
Working from home is flexible and we can do it at any time and this is what prompts us to leave work sometimes if the day is difficult or we feel tired, and this behavior is, unfortunately, wrong and does not help you produce better, stick to your work, whatever the form of the day.
8. List of three tasks
Set yourself a list every day of the things that you must do, and make sure that this list is not less than three things at least.
9. Start your day well
Make sure you have a good breakfast, try to meditate for a while, relax and think positive things.
10. Good Chair
Whatever work you do, you should do it and feel comfortable, so choose a comfortable chair to sit on while you work.
11. Memo and Pencil
Always keep a pencil and a blank note near you while you work, you can write down your thoughts in it, this way you will keep all the ideas that come to you that can be the beginning of a lot of good and creative work.
12. Get some rest
Do not confine yourself in a closed room all the time, get time to rest from 15 to 30 minutes, this time will help your brain to adapt to work and come back with more strength and focus, remember that resting your mind will help you improve the quality of your work.
13. If you finish, don’t go back
Once you have finished your work, do not return to it on the same day. Remember that your family, body, and mind have a right over you, and you must fulfill their rights over you.
14. Determine the best time to work
Not everyone is the same when they focus, so decide whether you are a night person – prefer working at night – or do you prefer working in the morning, and based on this, set your work schedule and stick to it.
15. Drink water
Do not forget during your work to drink water, and remember that water helps your body to get rid of toxins and reduces your feeling of hunger, especially in the winter.
16. The sounds around you
Focus on what you listen to while you work. Every sound you hear affects you, so you must choose to listen to what drives you forward and motivates you to work, not what frustrates you and reduces your energy.
17. Prepare well
Do not start doing anything before you are completely ready to work, no matter how simple and quick you are doing, even if it is checking your email, do not start until after you are ready as we mentioned in the previous points.
18. When does it stop?
You must know when to stop working, especially in the late hours of the night.
19. Do not work for eight hours
Working from home is flexible and therefore you do not need to work for eight hours, but the working time must be at least five hours per day.
20. Day off
You must take a day off a week, it is important and useful to recharge you with energy and activity to receive a new week of work.
21. Set limits
Family members and friends should understand the nature of your work, and not imagine that working from home means that there is no obligation. Set limits and rules and stick to them, and also ask them to abide by them too.
22. Sound Blocking Headphones
There are headphones that are used to block out sounds, believe me, these headphones are very necessary, especially if you have a four-year-old child.
23. Keep track of your accounts
You should write down all your accounts, everything related to salaries, bonuses, etc., do not neglect the matter so as not to lose your rights or be exposed to fraud and theft.
24. Eat a good lunch
Well-balanced food means good work and a good mood.
25. Keep track of your time
You should focus well on your time and how you use it and constantly try to improve the quality of your time and what you do during your day in general and your work time in particular.
26. Internet
You must determine the times in which you look at the different sites on the Internet and stick to it so that you do not find that the time of your day is wasted and you have not achieved anything.
27. Budgeting
Despite the importance of work, we must not let work consume our personal and family lives. Try to balance your work, family, friends, entertainment, leisure, and rest.
28. Make time for others
You are human and those around you are also humans and humans need each other, so if someone asks you for some time and tells you that he needs you, do not skimp on him with your time, it is good and communication between humans is the basis of a healthy social life.
29. Politeness
Be polite with others and learn to treat them kindly and say good things to them, such as thanking them for the nice and good things they do, learning to appreciate those around you, and dealing with them in a classy manner. Unfortunately, the large number of working from home leads to isolation and some arrogance, so we must train ourselves to be polite and sophisticated in our dealings.
30. Be grateful
Be thankful for your unique, unconventional, and flexible job, you are not working in a traditional monotonous and boring way, be grateful that you are your own boss and have no rude, arrogant boss who controls you, be grateful that you work when you love rather than when you are present, be grateful that you work from your home and do not You need to leave the house in times of extreme heat or cold.
- Finally, my personal advice to you is not to avoid going out and to try to participate in activities outside the home, do not leave yourself captive to work and home, enjoy what you are doing and always be proud of yourself.
