6. Have a designated office space
I love working from my bed, don’t get me wrong. But not every day. I feel more productive if I actually sit up straight in a chair with my back straight, good lighting, my notebook and something to drink. Make sure your office space is clean, organized and inspiring!
Then, I break it up by changing around. I spent some time on the couch with my laptop, some time at the table, and maybe some in the bed.
7. Procrastinate, but keep it sane
All of a sudden you have 204 tabs open - some cat and dog videos, some facebook group chats, online shopping of fluffy indoor shoes and a cute little hat. It happens.
I tried so hard to resist procrastinating at times, until I found out I had to make peace with it. It’s part of the breaks. Accept that you will procrastinate, and cut down on the time doing it from there!
8. Don’t be too hard on yourself
It’s very different to not be around your co-workers, in your office space, in a new routine. Maybe you’re working from home with your whole family running around, and some dogs and cats. It can be hard keeping focus, maintaining calm and being productive.
Give yourself space! It’s a period of transition. This is new for you. And even if it’s not new for you, it takes time to adjust. Give yourself space and talk kindly to yourself while you figure out how this whole workingfromhome thing works.
