New normal: Working from home
- Designate a quiet workspace that is conducive to work from home.
- No need to spend too much money on your desk setup. Work with what you have and upcycle!
- Map out a schedule with a start time, lunchtime and end time. Let your family know of this schedule. Get an agreement to not be distracted from work especially during video meetings.
- Create a to-do list each day to track productivity & hold yourself accountable.
- Avoid distractions by switching off social media and text alerts during work hours.
- Taking breaks is important to avoid burnout and for the small things like restroom and coffee breaks
Fair warning to the wise, there is no perfect work environment that fits all situations. Lucky are you to even have a job even when it is work from home during the pandemic. Be creative, be patient, discover what you need to do and have in order to make work from home seamless and productive. Talk to your company about what they can do to help, like internet connection and computer hardware.
