Working from home? Here are some best practices to follow.
1. If you can make it work, operating from home can be just
as productive and fun as working from the office. And
there’s always the bonus of brewing your own coffee or
cuddling with your pet for 5 minutes whenever you want!
The Covid-19 outbreak has a lot of us working from home now. It is true
that working from home can be just as productive as working from the
office or even more. You don’t waste time stuck in traffic jams or long
commutes, so you feel fresher, there are no co-workers that stop by
your office for a chat, no time’s lost in gossiping by the water cooler.
However, there are some people, who may not be used to this set up
and may find it a little difficult to focus. If you are one of them, here are
a few tips to help you make the best of the current situation.

warmth of the tea will help relax your
nerves and muscles!

understand, space may be a constraint sometimes,
but even if you can dedicate a corner specifically to
your new office, it will really help as it can put you in
the “work-zone” mentally.

Easier said than done, of course, but, when working
from home, there are a lot of distractions that you
will need to consciously avoid. Pets are an example,
so is the compelling need to check the news on your
phone or laptop.
