Hello\nEveryone out there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As many of\nus continue to work from home, I wanted to share with you some of the things I\ndo to maintain my productivity at home. Some are habits you may not even\nrealize, but are important or can make a difference in keeping your\nproductivity high. Please reed further as you will surely discover more of your\nown things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. Set the stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you must\nutilize more than one workspace in your home, establish the same environment,\nsuch as a pad of paper, photo, or inspirational quote, in each location every\nday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeating\nthe set up tells your brain that work is “on,” and the visual cue of\nreturning to the same orchestrated workspace over and over will give you a\nsense of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a\nlittle office set up at home where I go to do my work, so I won’t spill over to\nthe living or dining or other areas of my home. I’ve found that this helps me\nseparate my work and personal time now that I’m working from home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Get rid of low value activities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are\ntasks that fills our day like emails, meetings, paperwork, protocols that can\ndrain the critical capacity of work-from-home teams. These low-value activities\ncan become a barrier to getting to the important and meaningful aspects of your\nwork, and reducing the burden requires a shift in mindset and language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example,\nI usually set myself a fixed amount of time each day to check my emails. I also\nset certain days for meetings. You might have other things instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. Add whitespace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\nfeel like you\u2019re drowning in calls, when you tingle from adrenaline, or when\nyour body is craving sugar or email or caffeine or any of the compensatory\ntechniques for rest, take a break. Yes kick back and relax<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being\nproductive is not all about doing as much as you can in a day. It’s also about\nconserving energy so you can do things well. Are you still with me . . .?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. Keep emails to intervals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned\nthis in point B about getting rid of low value activities and I’m repeating it\nhere again because this is one of the most common habit that drains people\nwithout them even knowing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever we\nsee or hear an email notification, it’s almost instinctual for us to respond to\nit. And we end up losing focus on what we were just working on. And it takes\ntime to get back into the zone after you’ve checked that email that was\nprobably an advert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So set a\nfixed time to check your emails every day and stick to it! BAM BAM BAM !!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. Create a clocking out ritual<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Productivity\ncan hinge on compartmentalization, which is a vital habit of work-from-home\nprofessionals. Anytime you can put something in a box, literally or\nfiguratively, it helps you focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use this\nconcept to end your day visually by opening a literal compartment, such as a\ndrawer or a cabinet, or just leaving the room that you’ve been working in and\nclosing the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not\neasy to clock out in a virtual world where we can be\u2014and sometimes feel we\nshould be\u2014constantly available. By having a physical clock out ritual, it helps\nyour mind get used to differentiating between work and personal time at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have you\nbeen coping with working from home? Are there more distractions or\ninterruptions that you have to overcome? Help yourself to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re\nstruggling to overcome your distractions, then check out how you can create an\neffective method for yourself so you can apply it every time you feel\ndistracted to clear up your mind, refocus, and sharpen your attention all the\ntime.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"reddit\"<\/a>\"pinterest\"<\/a>\"linkedin\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
