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 FRESH Add a piece of the outdoors in the comfort of your workspace. Plants can add color and charm to any workspace. No green thumb? Artificial plants mimic the feel of real plants without any of the maintenance.

EASY CARE OFFICE PLANTS Want to jump into plant parenthood but not sure where to start? These plants are easy to take care of, require limited sunlight, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require constant water maintenance. Snake Plants - Snake plants thrive on neglect. They can grow in low light areas and can go on long periods without water.

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
