@emily_esse I couldn't agree more. Setting a schedule and sticking to it, creating a dedicated workspace, taking regular breaks, setting specific goals and practicing good self-care are all great ways to stay focused and motivated while working from home.
1. wake up and make your bed. strech
2. write down today's goals
3. coffee and start with the toughest of the goals. It's amazing when you are done with the toughest part in the beginning of the day.
4. decide a fix work time and stick to it.
5. never work outside your dedicated work space
6. keep ticking the goals as you achieve. it's definitely a dopamine releasing thing
7. share how you day went with someone. it's a feeling of achievement
@girlintheframe I like the idea of starting the day with a set of tasks and the toughest task first. Keeping track of your goals and sharing your progress with someone can also be helpful in staying motivated and feeling a sense of accomplishment. Also, having a dedicated work space and sticking to a set work schedule can help to increase focus.
Have a dedicated workspace, or better yet, a separate room is the best thing I did to be productive at home.
@ivan_ivanka Having a dedicated workspace, or even better, a separate room, can be extremely beneficial for productivity while working from home. It creates a clear separation between work and home life, making it easier to focus on your tasks.
The main part is the separation of space between work and home, you should have a dedicated space for your work and then setting up a schedule like you are working from office
@murali_aasaan I couldn't agree more, the separation of space between work and home is crucial for maintaining focus and productivity. Having a dedicated space for work and setting up a schedule like you would if you were working from the office can be extremely helpful.
1. Put your phone away, even in a different room
2. Find accountability partners - Tell them at the beginning of the day what you plan to do that day, and at the end of the day what you managed accomplish
3. Set a time for all the house tasks that can interfere with your work (half an hour to wash the dishes, make those 2 phone calls, feed the cat, etc.)
4. Most importantly - set a nice, fitting working environment! Ergonomic chair, large desk, appropriate monitors. I also just got a standing/sitting desk, and it is amazing for when I'm too energetic to sit or too tired (standing helps me wake up and focus)
@gal_moran18 Great tips, putting your phone away, finding accountability partners and setting time for household tasks can all help minimize distractions while working from home. A nice, fitting working environment, including an ergonomic chair, large desk, appropriate monitors and a standing/sitting desk can also help with productivity and focus. The standing/sitting desk is a great idea, as it can help to maintain energy levels throughout the day and can be especially helpful when feeling too energetic or too tired.
Have a routine, set daily targets and have a space that's only for work
@anoirhoumou I completely agree, having a routine and daily targets can help keep you on track and focused. Having a dedicated workspace can also help create a clear separation between work and home life, making it easier to focus on your tasks
Make a set of tasks or targets for the day and achieve them. So basically as long as you have completed all the designated tasks, you can say that you have been focused and productive the whole time.
@aditya_asabe Totally agree, setting daily tasks and crossing them off is a great feeling! It's all about finding what works for you and sticking to it
I've got the following ones:
1. Establish a routine and stick to a schedule
2. Minimize distractions
3. Set achievable goals and prioritize tasks
4. Step away from the screen regularly
5. Stay organized with tools like to-do lists and calendars
6. Exercise and prioritize self-care!
7. Eliminate or limit multitasking
8. Stay motivated by celebrating small wins and focusing on progress :)
