Working from home tips
Working from home is great… Until your neighbour starts banging away at the wall and then the kids start being naughty. If you can manage your own time and choose your own hours it’s a dream, however it can be incredibly hard if you don’t plan your morning ahead of time. Here are some working from home tips.
The early bird catches the worm
You can get more done before everyone else is awake. You will have fewer distractions and have a more peaceful environment. It’s nice to enjoy the sunrise once in a while with a Latte in one hand and a computer in the other. Waking up earlier allows an earlier finish, freeing up time later-on with the family.
Separate work zones from relaxing zones
When you work from home, it’s easy to curl up in bed with a laptop and pretend that you’re “working”. To improve your efficiency, build a separate home office/desk just for work. Minimise distractions.
A plan a day keeps the Doctor away
A plan from the day before makes it easier to get started when you wake up. The last thing I do before finishing the day is to write a to-do-list for the next morning. I write things down and then forget, until I look back at the notes.
