Work from home is the need of the hour given the current circumstances. Yes, covid-19 has ensured that we spend some quality time at home. #SocialDistancing has become the new trend, which is lifesaving not only for us but people around too. Working from home saves time and other resources which are spent on traveling to and from your work place and avoids the spread of infections too. However, there are some challenges that you may face while working from home. You need to figure out a proper routine for yourself and will also need some way to create a boundary between personal life and work life. Then, there is also the question of office equipment, development in your career and training opportunities along with building a relationship with your colleagues.
Maintain regular hours
You should set a schedule for yourself and stick to it. It is good to have clear guidelines for yourself when it comes to your work schedule. The beginning and end of your day should be fixed and ensure that you keep up with the timings. Here you can make use of any good time-tracking app. These apps let you check whether you are adhering to your schedule.
Create a morning routine
You need to create a morning routine in such a way that it guides you to sit at your work desk at a fixed time every morning. You may decide that you will do so at a particular time, but you may not be able to do so if you don?t plan your mornings properly. Whether it is returning from a jog, making yourself a cup of coffee or getting dressed for work. Remember that getting dressed for work the proper way gives you a motivation and puts you in the right frame of mind to start your work for the day.
Set ground rules
Suppose you have children who come from school at the time when you are working then you need to make them understand properly what they can and cannot do. In this way, it is necessary to set ground rules for people with whom you share your space when you work from home. If you are not living alone then it is best to make sure that you are not expected to open the door when the doorbell rings and similar other tasks. This is because this breaks the routine of your work and you may get distracted. This in turn will hurt your productivity hence, you need to make it clear that your work time is your work time and there should be no hindrances during that time.
Schedule your breaks
It is a good idea to understand what your company?s policy about breaks is. If you are self-employed even then you should make it a point to take breaks at regular intervals. It is also necessary to take breaks in their entirety and if you have an hour off for lunch then you should not come back to your work desk in 40 minutes. Along with a lunch hour usually in offices they also provide two 15 minute breaks.
There may be other things that you need to figure out for yourself in order to make work from home a success. It is a good way to earn money and also lead a balanced life.
