In the current environment it's inevitable that we shall all be working from home soon. For people who haven't had to work from home before this can be a daunting experience, so here are my top tips to make it a smooth transition.
1- Create a space in your home that will be your dedicated work area, this could be your desk or if you don't have one how about the kitchen/dining room table. If possible, leave this area set up for work for the entire time you're working from home. Choose your comfiest chair which has a proper back on it.
2- Do not be tempted to work from bed!
3- Create a routine. Sure, you don't need to wake up as early but get up in time to be able to properly wake up before you start to work.
4- Get dressed! Personally I am happy to wear a tracksuit and have some makeup free days. But if you work better dolled up then go for it!
5- Take a lunch break. Have a proper hour off, try and sit in another room, pop outside for a little walk or get some chores done.
6- Open the windows! Stay alert and keep the fresh air circulating through your home.
7- Schedule time in to your day to do a 20mins online work out video. It's a great way to quickly make yourself refocus and ensures you're getting some exercise into your day.
8- I highly recommend having the radio on to stop yourself feeling lonely, it's a good way to have a mix of talking and songs and doesn't distract in the same way that the TV or Youtube does.
9- Ensure to message/ ring colleagues for some normality and to ensure you're on the correct page, work wise.
10- Lastly, make the most of being at home. You can pop clothes washes on throughout the day, do quick cleans in your breaks and get dinner prepped earlier in the day!
Stay safe and happy
