Doing Work During Lockdown

Hi All

 Its been more than 40 days for me working from Home. I am happy play my bit  to ensure that we have closed our books for the year end on time . Let me share my experience and some tips which I have learnt  during these 40 days of Lockdown.

As Working from home is something we’ve all dreamed about,But now after 40 days I am  just want to get back to my office desk . Anyway Lets start with some Tips that we all know .

1.Keep your workspace and personal space separate: Its an absolute must , As you cant do work from your bed , Cosy Chair and any other thing , You must have a separate corner with a Table and chair and if possible facing  a window , So after every 30 minutes you can look outside to keep your eyes moist . In fact I can see a mango tree from my window from my office desk at home

2.Try organizing your clutter to save time: Be Organised on the desk , As we are at our office desk , Keeping laptop , Note book , mouse and some stationary  that’s all , I do open my backpack everyday to take out my laptop as we used to do while are in office and keep in backpack after the office work

3. Get Dressed for success : For me its important , I always wear a fresh T shirt and Golf shorts while working , Sometimes I put on my sneakers to have office feeling .

4.Timely Break: Always tries to take timely break for water , Coffee , Lunch and Evening Tea and I am taking 5 min walk across my room every 1 hrs or so.

5.Team Meeting : Very Important as we are having Catch up with our  team twice a week on Skype for Non Work related topics , Being part of Europe team Its nice to hear things from  colleagues based outside India .

6. Correct Ergonomics: Having a Good Office chair as Due to Lockdown I am not able to find that , But I know I have to invest in one as having Correct Posture is very important

7 . To have daily  TO DO LIST to Avoid Distractions specially hen we are working from Home along with our family, siblings as we all are doing our work from home be office or studies .      

8. Good Internet connection : To Invest in Good Fibre Connection if possible , Otherwise Dongle and Cable connection will do.
