5 Home Office Tips for a Productive and Healthy Routine
1. Motivation: Finding Your Drive
It’s normal to feel less motivated some days, especially when your desk is just steps away from your bed. But is that really a bad thing? Use the flexibility of working from home to your advantage—sleep an hour longer or start earlier to finish earlier. Plan something enjoyable for the end of your workday to boost your motivation!
Pro Tip: Set clear goals to give your day structure. More on that in the next section.
2. Stay Organized with Goals
Create a list of weekly tasks and assign specific days for each. Leave room for unexpected tasks or quicker-than-expected completions. By the end of the week, you’ll feel accomplished as you check off every item on your list.
3. Feeling Isolated?
Missing your colleagues? Use video chats to stay connected! Schedule weekly meetings or simply call a coworker for a more personal conversation—it’s much better than just emailing.
4. Video Chat Ready
Worried about a messy background during video calls? Platforms like Zoom offer options to blur or replace your background. No need to stress!
A little grooming goes a long way: a touch of BB cream in the morning ensures a fresh, polished look for calls. It’s a win-win for your confidence and appearance!
5. Work-Life Balance: Don’t Overdo It
It’s easy to reopen your laptop in the evening to tackle a few more tasks. Don’t let this become a habit. Protect your work-life balance!
