Tips for working from home

In these changing times, many of us are working from home more than we ever have before.

Most will see this as a huge perk, but, sometimes we all need a little productivity boost!

So, we’ve created a list of top tips to help you get the most out of your day:

• Maintain regular working hours 

It’s easy to log on and off at different times when a commute doesn’t break up your day – so simply set yourself some time boundaries.

• Create a morning routine 

Set an alarm, have a shower, get dressed, get some fresh air, make a coffee (or tea if you prefer!), write your to-do / task list and get yourself in “work mode” ready for the day ahead.

• Take breaks

It’s important for your concentration & creativity levels to properly step away from what you’re doing to re gain focus. It is not healthy to sit and stare at a screen all day long – get up and move away from your laptop!

• Get out of the house

Working and living in the same space can give you “cabin fever”.

Now, we realise this has been a challenge at times over recent months, however, make sure you’re getting a change of scenery regularly when you can! (Safely and within current covid-19 guidelines for your area)

• Keep a dedicated workspace 

It can be tempting to work from your kitchen table, the sofa or even your bed, just because you can! However, your mindset won’t thank you for it.

Make a workspace so that you can get into the right headspace, separate from your living space!

• Over-communicate

We are not seeing others face to face as often right now, so make sure you’re clear in your communication and keeping regular contact with colleagues and peers!

• Don’t be too hard on yourself

We all have off days… Just because you’re at home doesn’t mean it’s any less of a challenge than if you were in the office.

Please do not think that just because you’re away from your usual workplace that you have something extra to prove.

Appreciate yourself and what you achieve, one day at a time!

• Enjoy the perks of being at home 

Go for a nice walk on your lunch break, do some baking, or maybe even some life-admin like putting a wash on or running the hoover round…
