1 Set a regular schedule

One of the advantages of working remotely is that you can adjust your hours to suit your preferences and needs. However, this also means that you need to be disciplined and consistent with your time management. Establish a regular schedule that works for you and your team, and stick to it as much as possible. This will help you create a clear distinction between work and leisure, and avoid overworking or underworking. It will also help you communicate your availability and expectations to your colleagues and clients.

One thing I've found helpful is to sit, if possible on another floor at home that is away from the kitchen. Eventually, you'll want to grab a drink or a snack. Once you walk from your remote desk to eat or drink, it's an automatic break.

2 Create a dedicated workspace

Another way to separate work and personal life is to create a dedicated workspace in your home. Ideally, this should be a quiet, comfortable, and ergonomic area that has all the equipment and tools you need to perform your tasks. Avoid working from your bed, couch, or kitchen table, as these can affect your posture, productivity, and mood. Having a dedicated workspace will also help you mentally switch on and off when you start and end your workday.

When working from home, creating an effective workspace can be challenging. To establish best practices, consider dedicating a specific area where you won’t be interrupted by others, allowing you to stay more focused.

Creating a dedicated space is more about how you feel comfortable in that space. Do you have a comfortable chair, are there distractions like a TV(hint:remove the TV), what about the table? All of these things will help you concentrate on task at hand.

3 Take breaks and move around

Working remotely can make you feel more sedentary and isolated, especially if you're dealing with complex or stressful IT operations issues. That's why it's important to take regular breaks and move around during your workday. Breaks can help you refresh your mind, reduce eye strain, and prevent burnout. Moving around can help you improve your blood circulation, posture, and energy levels. You can take breaks by doing some stretches, walking around your house or neighborhood, having a snack, or calling a friend.

4 Set boundaries and communicate them

Working remotely can also make you feel more accessible and accountable, which can lead to interruptions, requests, and expectations from your boss, colleagues, or clients. While it's good to be responsive and collaborative, you also need to set boundaries and communicate them clearly. For example, you can use tools like calendars, status updates, or do-not-disturb modes to indicate when you're working, when you're available, and when you're off. You can also politely decline or defer tasks that are not urgent or relevant to your role or goals.

5 Pursue hobbies and socialize

Finally, working remotely can make you lose touch with your hobbies and social life, which are essential for your well-being and happiness. That's why you should make time and effort to pursue activities that you enjoy and that make you feel fulfilled. For example, you can read a book, play a game, watch a show, or learn a new skill. You should also try to socialize with your friends, family, or co-workers, either online or in person, depending on the situation. This will help you relax, have fun, and feel connected.
