From incorporating movement breaks to instituting a \u201cno\npajamas\u201d rule, these tips will help you do your best work outside of your\ntypical office setting.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Marina Khidekel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you\u2019re working from home in the wake of the\ncoronavirus pandemic or you\u2019re already a full-time freelancer or on a\ndistributed team, remote work can come with unique challenges. Especially if\nyou\u2019re not used to it, it can be tough to channel the same level of focus that\nyou might have in an office setting. And when you\u2019re suddenly away from the\nrest of your team, a lack of collaboration and connection can be difficult to\nnavigate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We asked our Thrive community to share the small steps they\ntake to reduce distractions and protect their well-being when working remotely.\nWhich of these tips will you try?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establish clear working hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m a creature of habit, and though I could work from\nanywhere in the world, nothing beats routine. I run my errands in the morning,\nstart my workday between 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., and only work in my office\nspace. I simply refuse to look at my work email once I\u2019ve signed off for the\nday. Having a routine and boundaries helps keep me sharp and focused, and\nallows me to enjoy my evenings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Katie Stearns, P.R. manager at BeeBole Timesheet, Spain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Close non-work-related tabs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve never worked in an office. I\u2019ve had to create my\nschedule and also train others who have been independent for years. To stay\nfocused, I suggest doing two simple things before you start working in the\nmorning: taking social media apps off your phone, and closing any open tabs on\nyour computer. It\u2019s easy to get distracted by the alerts. You can create a\nsystem to check them, but limit your exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Rebecca Gebhardt, founder of Rise Up Consulting LLC,\nMinneapolis, MN<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Write things down<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI make sure to write things down on paper when I\u2019m working\nfrom home. When you are working remotely, you will probably spend much more\ntime looking at a screen than when you are in an office. I find that my eyes\nneed regular screen breaks. Plus, nothing beats the satisfaction of scratching\nan item off of your list! Clicking a checkbox in your online calendar just\ncan\u2019t compete with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tidy up first<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI find that my biggest distraction is when the space around\nme feels untidy. When I work from home, I tidy up as much as possible before\nbed and take a few minutes in the morning to finish any tidying. Then, I set\nout my tasks that need to be accomplished for the day and start working. I find\nthis routine really helps my mind stay focused on my work instead of the \u2018home\nthings\u2019 that need to get done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Marianne D., virtual assistant, Burlington, ON, Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change out of your pajamas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI suggest getting dressed in workwear every day. No PJ\u2019s\nwhile working from home! This helps shift your mindset from \u2018I\u2019m just going to\nlounge around on the couch today\u2019\u201d to \u2018It\u2019s time to crush all my goals today.\u2019\nThis is actually a process I start the night before. I lay out my work clothes\nfor the day ahead, which actually is an old habit from when I used to work in\nan office. It\u2019s a time-saver in the morning, and it helps improve my focus for\nthe entire day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Caru Jones, leadership coach, New York, NY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establish a designated work area<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have a dedicated office that is separated from the main\npart of my house. When I am there, I am quite cut off from the rest of the\nhouse, and I can focus on my work. I appreciate that this complete separation\nis not always possible, but it\u2019s important to have some sort of physical\nboundary when working from home \u2014 ideally away from your bed, kitchen, and TV.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eat your meals in a different room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI find that it\u2019s helpful to eat your meals away from your\nworkstation. Having the mental break and taking time for mindful eating will\nresult in a more productive afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Martha Switzer, co-founder of Sprout Wellness, Toronto, ON,\nCanada<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step outside to reset<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen working from home, I always try to leave my apartment\nfor a short break just as I do at the office for a quick reset. Most often,\nI\u2019ll run out and grab a coffee before my day starts, or pick up some lunch.\nLeaving my apartment and workspace for a brief period of time allows me to move\nmy body, get some fresh air, and provides me with a mental reset so that I can\nensure I am productive upon returning to my work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn days I work from home, I do my best to stick to my\ntypical going-into-the-office routine. For example, I make sure that my alarm\ngoes off at the same time. I shower and get dressed as though I\u2019m going to the\noffice. I take a break for lunch \u2014 and since I have eliminated commute time, I\ncan give myself a pat on the back and sometimes wrap my day a bit earlier\nbecause I\u2019ve been more productive!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Tami Nealy, public relations, Phoenix, AZ<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start your day with mindfulness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have been running my consulting business out of my home\noffice for five years. Just as I commit to conference calls and meetings, I\ncommit to practicing daily self-care rituals. Instead of checking my email when\nI wake up, I read a daily affirmation. I commit to ten minutes of mindfulness a\nday, which typically includes a guided meditation or breathing exercise. My\nbest ideas and solutions to problems come to me when my body feels energized\nand my mind is clear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Incorporate bursts of movement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI try to incorporate exercise throughout my day. I write\nfor a couple hours, then move, and repeat this pattern throughout the day. My\nmovement usually includes walking, yoga, and even doing household chores.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Natalie Bonfig, writer, St. Paul, MN <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Open the window <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOver the years, I\u2019ve learned to nourish myself while\nworking from home through incorporating regular short breaks, standing up,\nopening the window for a deep breath, and going for a walk during lunchtime.\nDiffusing some essential oils for concentration and motivation also helps me a\nlot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Michaela Ottoman, marketing and communications manager,\nGilching, Germany<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take little micro-breaks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI reward myself after I\u2019ve completed various work tasks\nwith walks outside, short breaks to watch YouTube videos, and snuggles with my\ndog!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Suzy Goodwin, podcast host and content creator,\nFayetteville, NC<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assign timeslots to your tasks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen writing a to-do item in my calendar, I assign the item\na certain amount of time. When you are working at home alone, the time can\nreally run away from you! I find it helpful to assign blocks of specific time\nto your tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set an alarm for 25-minute work intervals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo stay healthy and productive when working from home, I\nschedule breaks into my workday by setting an alarm for 25 minutes any time I\nget in front of my computer. I focus on work for those 25 minute and ignore\nother distractions. When the alarm goes off, I get up and take a break to\nstretch, move, reset my posture, and check my phone before getting back to\nwork.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Megan Nolan, yoga instructor and personal trainer, Maui, HI<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schedule at least one call or meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI tend to be extremely productive on the days I work\nremotely, but that being said, it can come with a feeling of isolation. I make\nsure that I have at least one call or meeting scheduled for the days I work\nremotely, and have conversations on G-chat so the workflow can progress at an\nappropriate rate. Taking these steps allows me to stay focused and feel\nconnected to my team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Kaleen Skersies, real estate development, Seattle, WA<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notify your team about your priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWorking from home can be hugely productive if you have the\ndiscipline to carve out chunks of time dedicated to key priorities. I notify\ncolleagues when I am working from home, and let them know that I will be\ncommitting the next few hours to important tasks and critical projects. This\nhelps to minimize interruptions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch up your working space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy husband and I work at home together and now that my\ndaughter\u2019s school is closed, she is studying remotely. We each have two areas\nset up in different ways that we can switch off to when we get bored. All desks\nare by windows and some include standing desks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2014Eve Mayer, author and consultant, Carrollton, TX<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay connected to teammates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWorking from home can be lonely, and having no colleagues\nor teammates to talk to can be emotionally exhausting. I make an effort to sync\nup with the team every day on video calls or over the phone. The daily syncs\nand occasional jokes help me stay connected and not lose my mind. Talking\nregularly to other humans is important for our productivity!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
