Here’s a few tips to help you get the most out of your remote work hours. Routine Is Key Create a daily routine, just as if you were going to the office. Set your alarm, have a shower, and get dressed for your work day. Set Up Your Workspace Avoid working in bed or in front of the TV. Find a quiet workspace, free of distractions, and set it up to maximize your productivity. Get The Right Chair Find a comfortable chair with good back support. You’re going to spend a lot of time in that chair - make sure it’s a good one! Break It Up Take a break, have a lunch hour, and book an online coffee chat with your peers. These daily routines are important whether you’re at home or in the office. Know When To Stop When your work day is over, it’s over. Keep work time separated from personal time. Those boundaries are important for your physical and mental health. Eyes On The Prize Working from home is an exercise in self-control. Do what you need to do to maintain a focused headspace throughout your work day. Are you ready to learn industry-relevant skills from wherever in the country you might be?
