1. Have a designated workspace to work in that has minimal distractions.
2. Avoid distractions like phones and TV, and dress professionally to stay focused and productive while working from home.
3. Work in 90-minute cycles with 20-minute breaks, have a daily plan, and set routine office hours to maintain consistency.
3. 1. Designated Work Space
Have a designated office or some kind of work space in your home that is
where you always go to get your best work done. Surround yourself with
what will help you be more productive and less distracted.
5. 2. Avoid Distractions
Smart phones, tablets, TV’s, etc. are all very good at wasting our time.
Keep them out of your work space if possible, so you can be more
focused during your work hours.
7. 3. Dress Well
I’m not saying you should wear an Armani suit or fancy dress to work
from home everyday, but just waking up and working all day in your PJ’s
may be hurting your productivity. When you look good and feel like
you’re in a good state to work in, you will get a lot more done. Try to
dress a little better for your work from home days.
9. 4. Work In Cycles
Did you know that the current way employees work at regular jobs was
established back in the early industrial age by Henry Ford? Things have
changed since then and new studies show that we work best with 90
minutes of production and quick 20 minute breaks.
11. 5. Have A Plan
If you plan out your day, you will be a lot more productive. To avoid
getting scatterbrained or have trouble figuring out what the next task
should be that you must work on, make a list of what you must get done
for the day and check each task off one by one until you have finished.
13. 6. Have Routine Office Hours
It is going to be very tough to stay consistently productive if you have a
lot of random work hours that always change. Have your own designated
hours of operation for you to work and you will be much more productive.
15. 7. Know When To Stop
If you have ever felt overloaded from working, you need to probably learn
when to call it a day. Working yourself to death will make you grumpy and
depressed all the time, which leads to less production and a worse social
life.
17. 8. Stay Connected To Your Team
Let’s face it, it is pretty hard to be a one-man show these days. Running
an entire business yourself takes a lot of hours and a lot of skills on a
daily basis. You probably have a team of some sort to help you with the
day-to-day tasks and you should definitely make sure and stay connected
with them. Ask them what their needs are. See how they’re doing. Keep a
good relationship with them and show them you care and they will always
give you their all.
19. 9. Avoid Family/Friends During Work Hours
If you work at home and have family or friends there as with you during
the hours you are supposed to be working, you need to let them know
that you’re going to be busy for a while. Let them know which hours
during the day you need to focus on your work so they will know not to
bother you during that time. If you were at a regular job, they wouldn’t be
bothering you or trying to talk to you every minutes because it interrupts
productivity. It should be the same at home. Don’t let others distract you.
Find a good balance between your work and life and make specific times
for both each day.
21. 10. Reward Yourself
What good is accomplishing a bunch of goals if there is nothing that you
get for it? Reward yourself with whatever you’ve been wanting when you
work hard and reach a goal. This will make you want to set and reach new
goals in your business.
