Companies are being forced to cancel travel events, adjust their disaster recovery plans, and have their employees work from home due to the coronavirus global outbreak.
I’ve worked from home for over a decade.
Here’s 8 work from home life hacks to help you adjust and stay productive:
- Keep your same work schedule. Start at your normal time and sign off when your work day is over
- Make a “to do” list in the morning before you get started
- Phone call/video conference over email when possible
- Take breaks throughout the day to stretch and walk around
- Designate a work space. Remove distractions
- Get dressed for work
- Make sure your family understands your expectations when you’re working
- Have a morning routine before your work day starts. My routine includes: meditating, writing in my gratitude journal and avoiding emails/social media/news
