How to excel at WFH life

In these unprecedented times, where we are asked to work from home, at first it seemed appealing and comforting. But soon it quickly lost its comforting appeal until our mom barged into our rooms for cleaning purposes or a little chit-chat. Our home is full of distractions that make it difficult to focus on our work.  Well, working from home is quite a tricky business because we were never prepared or expected to work from home for so long. 

 

Work from home is a game of time-management. If we can manage our time then we can surely be comfortable with this new lifestyle. So let’s dive in and learn how to excel at this new WFH life.

 

Designate a proper workspace

Our home is full of distractions, hence it’s vital to have a space that has minimal distractions. Choose a spare room or a place that no one barges into often.  Yes, it is hard to find privacy at home when you have a small place to live in. But there’s a solution to every problem. Use noise-canceling headphones that will help you stay focused. There are plenty of affordable options available for these kinds of headphones.  Also, make sure your space has an uncluttered environment because it will make you more efficient and less stressed. 

 

Keep your office routine alive

Work through your office hours, take lunch when it’s lunchtime, take coffee breaks just the way you used to take. Don’t be lenient with your time, because it could surely affect your work. Taking an extra hour of sleep will become a roadblock to your effective time- management. Use your traveling time in activities like exercising, reading, cooking, or taking a walk. 

 

Create a To-do list

A To-do list can seriously change your work from home life. Trust me. When you have a list of what needs to be done, the work catches on quickly. A weekly to-do list or goals prepared on Friday night for the coming week or a checklist of daily tasks penned down can serve you great help. Try it and you will get instant results.

 

Keep your phones aside 

Phones have become a necessity in our lives. We can’t imagine our lives without mobile phones right now. And now, along with the internet, it has become even more powerful to distract ourselves entirely from our work. It’s hard to not get distracted. And sometimes it feels more like a curse than a blessing when we actually try to concentrate. You can’t keep aside the phone for the whole day. But yes, you can keep your phone off for an hour to focus. Choose an hour to switch off your phone, get all your material beforehand and you will be fine. If we eliminate our distractions, we can get our work on time. 

 

Align your music with your work

Music is a great way to stay productive while working. You can go for the background score of your favorite song without lyrics that are available on Youtube. Music with lyrics is for those who want rhythm while working. So listening to music while working will not make you feel bored and the productivity will be maintained throughout your day.
