Working remotely is challenging. Here are 9 tips about working remotely that you should know! 💕

Make a plan and follow it!

Keep the same hours each day.

Many remote employees can preserve work-life balance by having clear rules about when to work and when to stop.

Maintain a morning schedule

It’s one thing to decide that you’ll arrive at your desk and begin working at a specific hour. Another is coming up with a routine that gets you sitting down!

Making a cup of coffee first can be all that is necessary before starting on your to-do list.

Put breaks in your schedule

If you work for a company, be aware of the policies about breaks and take them.

If you work for yourself, schedule enough time each day to step away from your phone and computer.

Communicate, always!

Inform those who need to know about your availability and schedule frequently. Don’t presume they’ll recall.

Tell someone when a project or significant work is finished. Over-communicating does include repeating yourself, but it doesn’t always entail writing a five-paragraph essay to justify every step you make.

Try to leave your home

You must move in order to receive some natural light and fresh air.

Preferably, spend some time outside before, during, and after your working hours.

Set up a separate office space

Set aside a desk or table area for work-related activities.

For instance, it’s work time when your laptop is connected to the monitor and external keyboard. It’s personal time when it’s on your lap.

Interact with coworkers​​

Working from home can make you feel lonely!

Determine how much engagement you require to feel included and connected.

Work from anywhere

Be kind with yourself.

Successful remote workers are known to be incredibly disciplined. After all, working a full-time job from an unusual location requires substantial concentration.

Have fun with your loved ones

Remember to use and enjoy your benefits.

The commute can be far when I’m a full-time office worker. Spend the extra time doing something you like.
