WORKING FROM HOME Millions of people are commonly sharing the transition of working from home and grappling with the new norm of social distancing. Work from home has new meaning.

TIPS FOR WORKING FROM HOME
MAINTAIN CONNECTION Overcommunicate To overcommunicate, opt for voice and video calls & meetings. Up to 93% of communication is in tone and body language, so utilize video conferencing for key communications, and keep communication by text, chats, emails for essentials. If you’re new to virtual meetings, there are resources to brush up your skills. Check out these free online trainings from LinkedIn.
CREATE A PRODUCTIVITY ZONE Essentials: Whether it’s your kitchen table, favorite armchair or home office, create a work zone with all the essentials on hand to enable productive sprints. Try to pick a place you can “start and end” your work day. Keeping a delineation between your work and personal life and space can help keep you feeling refreshed from day to day. Even a small change in environment can make a big difference.
BALANCE Wellness: Without office distractions and commutes, remote workers report working more hours. Set up built in breaks. Schedule a 5-minute stretch between work sprints, go for a walk or walk your dog, and take lunch away from your work zone

KEEP IT TIMELY Work smarter. Proper time management enables you to get more things done with a shorter amount of time.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE POMODORO TECHNIQUE? The pomodoro technique is a time management method that breaks down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. This technique is used to increase productivity. The technique follows six steps: 1. Decide on the task. Big or small, as long as it gets done. 2. Set the timer. Typically 25 minutes. 3. Work on the task until the timer rings. Work on this task and this task alone. If other tasks pop up, write them down. 4. When the timer rings, put a check mark on a piece of paper. 5. Take a short break. Grab a coffee, stretch for 3-5 minutes then go back to step 2. 6. More than 4 checkmarks? Take a longer break. Rest for 15 - 30 minutes, remove all checkmarks, and start again at step 1.
HOURGLASS TICK TOCK TIMER A 60 minute timer in a plastic shell. Available in tomato and apple variations. MOQ

KEEP IT POSTED MAKING EFFECTIVE TO-DO LISTS An effective to-do list can guide your day by keeping your attention on the things that need to happen. It also helps break down large goals into more manageable parts. Here are some tips to creating effective lists. 1. Make it short. For daily tasks, keep it to three main tasks and prioritize by importance. Have time for more? Make another short list and do the same thing.

2. Make it specific. Keep things specific to give you a better idea of the task at hand, Instead of ‘Email client,’ say ‘Send a followup email to client about XYZ’ 3. Make it scheduled. Add the date to the top of your list and give yourself a timeline of when you want these tasks accomplished. 4. Make it fresh. Make room for new tasks by creating a new list every day. Lists help manage your day and completing tasks.
