1. Identify a suitable workspace
Choosing a comfortable and distraction-free workspace is important. Not only will this help you focus better while you work, but it will also help create a “pattern” for your work habits. When you have a designated space to work, your mind automatically switches to “work mode” when you get there.
How to organize space
- Location: Choose a quiet place, separate from common living spaces such as the living room or kitchen.
- Layout: Place your desk near a natural light source if possible and arrange necessary items such as a computer, pens, and paper neatly.
Necessary tools
- Work Chair: A chair with the proper height and tilt is important to protect your spine.
- Peripheral monitors, keyboards and mice: These can help you work more efficiently than just using a laptop.
2. Build a fixed schedule
Create a work schedule and stick to it. This will help you manage your time and the tasks you need to complete during the day. Break down your tasks into smaller parts and prioritize them so you know which tasks need to be done first.
- Google Calendar : Use Google Calendar to set “events” or “work hours” and stick to them.
- Pomodoro Technique : Try the Pomodoro technique, work hard for 25 minutes then take a 5 minute break.
3. Use time and project management tools
Using project and time management tools, like Asana, Trello, or Google Calendar, can help you track your progress and completion of tasks. These tools not only help you manage yourself more effectively, but also make it easier for your team to stay updated and track progress.
- Asana : Great for tracking large tasks and projects.
- Trello : Suitable for managing tasks in small teams or personal projects.
- Slack : For chatting and interacting with colleagues, especially when quick feedback is needed.
4. Limit distractions and loss of concentration
Working remotely means you have more freedom, but it also means there are more distractions. Try to minimize these by turning off notifications on your phone, using apps that block distracting websites, or even setting specific times of the day to check email and social media.
Useful applications
- Freedom or Cold Turkey : Block distracting websites and apps.
- Forest : An app that helps you focus by allowing you to plant a virtual tree every time you work.
Tricks
- Set up “Do Not Disturb”: Put your phone and other notification apps into “Do Not Disturb” mode during important work times.
5. Don’t forget to exercise and rest
When you work from home, it’s easy to forget to take breaks and exercise. However, this is important for maintaining your health and well-being. Set aside time each day to get up, move around, even take a short walk or exercise at home.
Work spirit
- Do some quick exercises: Between short breaks, do some light exercises like standing up and moving your arms and legs.
- Meditation and Yoga: Use apps like Headspace or Calm to practice short meditations to help your mind rest and focus.
