1 Set clear goals

One of the key aspects of servant leadership is to provide direction and vision for your team. This also applies to yourself, especially when you're working from home. You need to have clear and realistic goals that align with your purpose, values, and priorities. Write down your goals and break them down into smaller and manageable tasks. Review them regularly and track your progress. Celebrate your achievements and reward yourself for your efforts.

2 Communicate effectively

Another important skill of servant leadership is to communicate effectively with your team, your manager, and your clients. When you're working from home, communication can become more challenging, as you might miss out on non-verbal cues, feedback, and social interaction. To avoid misunderstandings, frustration, and isolation, you need to communicate frequently, clearly, and respectfully. Use various channels, such as phone calls, emails, chats, and video conferences. Be responsive, attentive, and empathetic. Share your ideas, challenges, and successes. Ask for help and offer support.

This is the key for anyone working either remote or otherwise. This is where building relationships and maintaining those relationships is critical. Having open communication about everything you are experiencing as a remote employee with your Leadership Team as well as co-workers or staff that work under you. If you do not build those relationships and have honest 2 way communication you can not build the trust that is neeed as a remote employee. When you have the relationship and trust built, it motivates you to continue to work hard for your team, it also helps in those moments that you are discouraged or burnt out, your team can recognize it even if it is over teams, zoom or what ever tool you use.

3 Manage your time

Working from home can also affect your time management, as you might face more interruptions, distractions, and temptations. To stay on track and motivated, you need to manage your time wisely and efficiently. Create a routine and stick to it. Plan your day and prioritize your tasks. Set boundaries and limit distractions. Take breaks and recharge. Use tools and apps that can help you organize your work and monitor your time. Be flexible and adaptable, but also respectful of your own and others' time.

Take PTO if you have it and encourage team members to do the same. Delegate tasks as needed and plan ahead for the time you will be out of the office.

4 Learn and grow

Servant leaders are always looking for ways to learn and grow, both personally and professionally. They seek feedback, embrace challenges, and pursue opportunities. Working from home can be a great chance to develop new skills, knowledge, and competencies that can enhance your work and career. You can take online courses, read books and articles, watch webinars and podcasts, or join online communities and networks. You can also ask for mentorship, coaching, or guidance from your manager or colleagues. Be curious, open-minded, and proactive.

5 Care for yourself

Finally, servant leaders care for themselves as much as they care for others. They understand that their well-being is essential for their performance, motivation, and happiness. Working from home can take a toll on your physical, mental, and emotional health, if you neglect your needs and preferences. You need to take care of yourself and practice self-compassion. Eat well, sleep well, exercise regularly, and relax. Find hobbies and activities that make you happy and fulfilled. Connect with your family and friends. Seek help if you need it.

When working from home with low motivation, prioritizing self-care is essential for maintaining momentum. By establishing a structured routine that includes regular breaks and dedicated relaxation time. Engaging in activities that energize and inspire you, such as exercise, hobbies, or spending time outdoors. Set achievable goals and celebrate small victories to boost morale. Stay connected with colleagues and friends for support and social interaction. Remember to treat your body with healthy meals and adequate rest.

Self-care is important and ensure that you don't burn yourself out. Make time by setting boundaries. As a leader, this sets a good example for team members to take ownership of their work and ensure that the right tasks are getting done at the right time, rather than taking on too much at once.

As a professional who’s been working from home as individual company since 2020, I have had my ups and downs before getting properly accustomed to this lifestyle. In the beginning, it seemed impossible to log-off: I was looking at the computer almost 24hrs, considering that during the pandemic we were in lockdown, the world was the screen and the screen was the world. After the lockdown, It took me some time to find balance, but care for myself has been the key to it all. I took a dog whom I go running with at least twice a week, I use the small empty slots in my agenda to take breaks, read, workout and clean the house. These are invaluable actions to my health and help me perform at my best!
