How to Make Your Task Easier While Working from Remote Locations?


While when everyone across the globe is hoping that COVID-19 does not become a major concern especially in their part of the world. Almost every country has seen its diverse effects whether developed or developing. By analyzing the current situation, businesses are analyzing every possible contingency plan in ensuring that their business operations are least disrupted. Although, a few employees such as those related to the telecommunication office have previously worked from their place, but, for many, it would be the first time working as a remote employee. We have put together a few tips that could be useful for you at this time to be more effective and successful, working from the comfort of your place.


Tip 1 - Sticking to a schedule
While at home, you are more fluid in your day in comparison to what would not have been possible at the office. Hence, you can set your schedule accordingly. Firstly, one needs to find a routine that suits him/her best. We generally tend to think that sticking to a schedule would make us more constrained and will kill our creativity. But, it eventually gives more positivity and productivity to the work. While without a constructive routine, it would become difficult for workers to stay motivated and efficient. It is difficult to stay 24*7 in your PJs and work as effective as you do at the traditional office. As, it would constantly keep the employee in the relax mode instead of working. A steady morning routine would help you segregate personal part from your professional one. So, instead of lying down with your laptop on your bed, try taking a shower, get ready and try taking a few steps to reach to the desk placed just next to you. Although these all tasks could seem to be ordinarily, but will help you to be more focused and will make your work much easier. 
The work from home gives you the freedom to work when you are most attentive, awakened, and productive. So, you don't necessarily have to work those traditional 9 to 5. It's up to you how well you plan your day and stick to it. By working this way you can make the most of your working time because you can kill when your body is most efficient and take rest when it is least attentive. 


Tip 2- Selecting the appropriate tools and equipment

By selecting the right tools and keeping them by your side while working would help you make every second of your work constructive. Investing in the right things such as a comfortable chair would help enhance your concentrating power instead of working on an aching one. Your laptop screen should be eye-level, back straight, and feet flat on the floor. If you have issues sitting for longer periods you can accumulate it with a standing desk, switching between the two would be beneficial for both work and your back. Keep only the things you need while working and segregate it from other things. It will ensure that your workspace is uncluttered and will help you take the needed breaks in between in clearing up your mind. Not just this, the required software should be properly aligned as it will help you in sharing information, communication, task management, etc. which is equally important for effective working. 


Tip 3- Determining borders
As discussed, there are numerous distractions at home and hence one can easily be lost in it and burn him/her out. So, it is advised to segregate work from play. Working from the comfort of your couch would make it hard for you to work dedicatedly, as it won't let you get into the work mode. Leaving your workplace for a break or when the day ends would help you both mentally and physically leave the work behind and focus on other stuff and the next day pick up the work from where you left it off. Setting up a do not disturb board at your work desk would let others know that you have defined boundaries and hence they would try not to interfere during those hours.

Tip 4- Practicing self-care

Well the final tip, probably the most important one too. If you are not healthy, no matter where you work, you can never be productive. Hence regular exercise should be given utmost importance as it is been given to other things while working from home. During a break, time, do not hesitate in doing a few minutes of yoga or stretching or any other physical activity that you love doing. After the work is done, take the necessary nap as it is an essential part of the self-care, it will make you feel refreshed and you go all guns blazing when you get up.
