Stick to A Schedule
Establishing a daily routine will help you focus on your work and keep you from getting sidetracked by anything else that’s not work. Staying off social media saves you a surprising number of hours too. At the end of the day, set a schedule for the following day and clear your desk.
Limit Your News Intake
There’s so much information that’s continuously pouring in. With so much happening everywhere, you want to ensure that you’re not out of the loop. But remember, you’re at work and can check the news only when you’re on a break. Focus on productivity using the same tools you would at work.
Prioritize
Schedule the following day’s work priorities at the end of each day. This will let you focus on essential tasks that need to be completed. It will also allow you to differentiate between urgent and important while managing other people’s requirements. Stick to business hours as well, so you can enjoy some extremely important family time too.
Get Dressed
Shower and get dressed for work each morning. This simple activity will get you in the right frame of mind for work. Sitting around in your home clothes may be more comfortable, but it will subconsciously reflect in your work attitude. Showering and dressing for work will help you switch from home mode to work mode. And then back to home mode at the end of the day so you can unwind.
Cut Distractions
Set up A Workspace at Home Away from Any Distractions. if You’re Near the Laundry Room, You May Find Yourself Washing and Folding Clothes in The Middle of The Day. if You Work the Night Shift, You May Interrupt Your Partner’s Sleep with Conference Calls. by Choosing a Less-Frequented, Quiet Corner of Your Home as Your Office, You’ll Free Your Mind to Focus on The Job at Hand While Separating Work Time from Personal Time.
Exercise
Replace your morning commute time with some exercise. Walk, or join an online exercise group so you can get energized before you start work for the day. Exercising in the morning will also help you get it out of the way.
