Tips to help with working remotely

  1. Dedicate a specific space to work from. Make this space as comfortable as possible, with a chair that is appropriate for the day. Try to have as much natural light as possible and maybe add a little plant or decoration to the setting.

  2. Start the day as if you were going to the office. Shower and present yourself suitable for public viewing. This helps draw the line between being at home and being at work.

  3. Schedule your time by allocating time blocks for specific activity and meal breaks to help manage your time efficiently. Be very clear on when you are to be working and when you are not.

  4. Stay on track with your schedule. Your most motivational energy is in the morning, so create a morning routine. It is directionally important to set your intention and your tasks at this time, to help fuel the momentum of motivation and productivity throughout the day.
