Tips to Make Remote Work Easier

MAKING REMOTE WORK EASIER Tips from Brie Neumann | BrieNeumann.com

Due to today’s pandemic and the many stay-at-home orders put in place, working remotely has become a necessity.

However, not every professional has experience working from home and may struggle to do so initially.

STICK TO YOUR SCHEDULE One of the most proven ways to stay productive whenever working remotely is to stick to your regular schedule. Begin your day at the same time every morning, plan out what you want, and/or need to work on, and do your absolute best to stick to these “office� hours.

SET UP A DEDICATED WORK AREA

Part of the reason why working from home can be so difficult for people is simply because they are at home surrounded by unfinished chores such as cleaning or cooking, television, and other things that quickly become a distraction. It helps to set aside an area that is strictly for work, whether that is a separate room in your house or a spot at your kitchen table.

OVER-COMMUNICATE Communication is essential in business, even more so when all of one’s employees are working remotely. Check in with your supervisor on a weekly basis at the very least. Highlight the successes and challenges you come across and your plan for any given day. While this may seem like overkill, keeping your coworkers in the loop is the best way to help during a time in which communication may be heavily stifled.

DON’T NEGLECT SELF-CARE

It’s very easy for your personal and professional lives to seemingly blend together when working from home. Of course, working past standard office hours is sometimes required, but it should never become a daily occurrence in which you are compromising your personal time.

Stick to your usual post-work routines whether that be exercising, cooking, or spending some time outside.

Thank you!
