1. Have Separate Workspace:
It’s the first thing you need to have to work better and stay productive from a home working environment.
2. Create ‘Good-Vibe’ Workplace:
Fill your workspace with pleasant things, happy memories, inspiring quotes, etc. for little motivation.
Your workspace at home should make you feel productive. Working in a cluttered, messy workspace in the morning is not a productive start.
Likewise, don’t forget to clean and arrange your workspace after completing your work for the day.
3. Work-Board:
Place it where you get to peek now and then.
Write everything; New ideas, plans, deadlines, solutions, mind-maps, work-flow, etc. It brings speed in taking decisions, making plans, and executing tasks.
Personal work-board helps you become productive while working from your home.
4. Comfortable Table/Chair:
If you are not comfortable, you can’t stay focused and you can’t stay productive. Comfortable tables, chairs, working-desks are essential.
5. Finish your other works before you sit to work:
You will not be disturbed or distracted often.
6. Daily Planner/Organizer:
You can go to digital-app. But gadgets/apps can easily distract you.
Note down To-Do, Meetings, reminders, other non-work tasks, etc. in a planner.
Having a planner in hand brings a personal touch, more presence, and focus instead of digital apps and alarms. Prioritization becomes easy. You will feel improved productivity by working from home.
7. Good Workstations:
Have good laptops or PCs, printers, and other work-related gadgets in good conditions.
Good Workstations help in boosting productivity, especially when you are working from home.
8. Sticky Notes & Notebook:
Keep a notebook handy. Meanwhile, sticky notes will help you in remembering little points/notes so you don't forget even small data.
9. Good Network:
Uninterrupted network connectivity is a must-have for productivity.
10. Work-Related Resources:
Gather Documents, references, books, files, related data, and everything associated with your work.
You will see improved productivity because of limited distractions and easy-gathering of required data.
