In the wake of COVID-19, both small and large businesses and corporations have forcibly converted to a virtual environment. With the decrease in COVID-19 spread, many businesses have returned to the office. However, many employees continue to work from home. While working from home may have been a dream for many, it could also be a challenge. Here are a few ways to ensure you are getting the most out of your workday even while away from the office.
While at home it may be tempting to snooze your alarm and stay in bed a little longer. Preparing for the workday just as you would at the office allows for a structured day. It helps to continue with your normal routine every day even with your new workspace a few feet away. Getting up early and getting dressed is a great way to jump-start your day and get into a great workflow. Set your alarm, avoid hitting the snooze button, and be sure to make time for a lunch break.
Identify which area of your home is most likely to prohibit you from staying focused and create a workspace outside of that area. Your bedroom space that occupies your comfortable bed and TV programmed with all your favorite Netflix series may not be ideal. Try setting up an area such as your living room or dining area to be your designated workspace. Remove items that may distract you and replace them with items to contribute to your success while working such as your favorite pens and books. Also, try turning your phone on silent or ‘away’ mode during your work hours.
Staying organized could be difficult for most of us whether working from home or at the office. Organizing looks different for all of us, so taking personal time to implement new ways to set yourself up for success is a great way to ensure that you are efficiently doing your job. This is especially important for those managing multiple projects. Before each workday, create a list of your tasks for the day and commit to a specific time frame to complete each task. Tidying up your workspace is also a great way to stay organized and ensure you are getting the most out of your workday from home.
