Have a separate work place:

Who wouldn’t want to work from the comfort of their bed and tugged inside a duvet. As pleasing as it sounds, but this setting could be indolent.

Now that you have your office space, it’s time to allocate suitable working hours for you. Working from home doesn’t mean you have to work 24/7. This applies to your both designated office hours and house chores. Divide each of your tasks smartly so that nothing overlaps. Usually, I prefer to work in the morning so that I have a whole day to myself. Believe it or not, but working in early hours actually makes you productive and you can finish your to-do-list with full concentration. Keep a tab on your tasks and time so that you don’t overwork yourself.

You can always wear the outfit in which you feel comfortable, confident, and of course more productive. Remember, changing your outfit from leisure to work can totally change your dynamic.

Make sure to have a playlist:

Generally speaking, even when we are in office, we do need a little distraction from our workload. Considering the work situation might get difficult, it’s always a fun idea to play some music in the background. I usually put ambient music of rain and fireplace because that really makes me feel calm and more focused on the task.

Take short breaks or have lunch:

You must have been thinking that during this whole article how I have more focused on being productive and now talking about the break. It may sound very leisure to have our office in our home. Let’s just be honest it gets tiring as well. Staying in one place, working and no talking would get a little extra. It goes like you’re working from home without any distractions and end up finishing more tasks. This means overburdening yourself and that can kill your productivity. According to research, taking short breaks for lunch and coffee may increase your productivity and creativity level as it refreshes your mind.

Shut off your social media:

I am more rigid when it comes to this point. Truly, social media applications can be the biggest distraction in your productivity and creativity. You take an off for a few minutes and those minutes can easily turn into hours. If you think you have the strongest will power to ignore the beep-beep of twitter, it’s great. But all those like me; we need to log out because we could easily get abstracted from our work. I am not saying to entirely cut it off because being a content creator it’s a big loss. What I am saying is, one must minimize the extra use which could divert your mind completely from the task.

During this crucial time when people are looking around for positive things, I found this idea to work from our vicinity of home is a blessing. Not only we get to spend time with our family but we also got a break from monotonous routine.
