5 Tips for Staying Productive While Working Remotely

With the spread of COVID-19 affecting everything from travel to a shortage of hand sanitizer to most companies going remote to combat this virus has become a growing concern. Many companies are allowing as many employees as possible to work remotely until the virus slows down.

Countless people fantasize about working from the comfort of their own home but working remotely can be a double edge sword, you get to stay home but it can be harder to stay focus on your work. Staying productive at home can take a little extra effort plus being isolated can quickly become a letdown for those who are used to socializing at work and some people of course would prefer to stay in the office. How can you stay focused on you job mentally and healthy while working from home? Here are some tips:

1.Location

Try to find a comfortable place in your house that you can dedicate yourself to work and you can associate with your job and leave once you’re off the clock. Some people set up a dedicated home office where you can close the door and shut out the distractions. So that means get off the couch and definitely out of your bed.

2.Have a Plan

When working from home you should keep a more structed daily schedule than the usual.

3. Communication

It’s important to go beyond just your email and use other digital tools that can better replace the in-person office experience and provide for clear communication. Try using chat apps like Slack and videoconferencing services like Zoom. Better communication while remote can help maintain your relationship with your colleagues, managers and employers.

It’s also very important that managers/employers to encourage employees to share their opinions or concerns so they don’t feel like they are being dismissed just because they are not in the same room.

4. Everyone Works Differently

Employers should remember that not everyone wants to work from home it can be stressful for some individuals. On the other hand, some employees more productive when working from home because of less distraction and not engaging in side conversations with coworkers.  

As many companies mandate that employees work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is key they communicate as much as possible and help employees with the change, especially those who struggle with this change. Giving employees as much information as possible can ease the burden caused by the disruption.
