- Create a Separate Work Space
It is important to designate a workspace separate from other activities. This may include some rearranging or a daily set up and break down of your home office. If you are offering Video Conference Calls as part of your work routine a quiet space and a neutral background may be important.
- Communicate Your Needs
Since you are not at the office with your team, do not hesitate to check in with your coworkers to ensure you are sharing necessary files, providing updates, and encouraging each other. Additionally, establish boundaries with your housemates and family. It may be important to share your conference call schedule so you have fewer distractions.
- Establish a Routine
It may be important to establish a routine to mentally transition from home to work. This may include a quiet moment with a cup of tea and dressing as though you are going to work.
- Take Care of Yourself
Most importantly, your needs come first. You cannot pour from an empty cup. Perhaps going to the gym as part of your daily routine, consider a free online yoga class or another workout routine you can do at home. You do your best for your family, friends, and coworkers when you nurture your well-being.
