Everyone has been getting one thing or the other done during this pandemic. It has been able to get families together, people have been able to understand how a pandemic looks like as most of the people alive are in their early ages of life and can’t really explain if they witnessed a pandemic that shut down the world and all economic activities. A lot of people have been working from home since the pandemic started saving them time, money and effort. As much as everyone loved the remote working thingy, the problem most people had and are still having is being able to combine home and work together at home and still be creative with work.
A lot of people really felt fat physically and intellectually that they couldn’t think for themselves because they were not going out to see things, no gym, no office work and so on. Working from home could be very distracting and very difficult. In other to get the best of working from home, the very first thing you need is a home office. If you do not have an office at home, then you will be having a problem concentrating with your work. Let the home office be an office instead of being seen as part of the home.
Working from home can be very distracting and in other to get things right, you need to create a routine around your daily life. Working from home can be less productive if there is no regular routine to regulate the activities in the house, then productivity is going to be poor. Never work without a to-do list. A to-do list will help know what you want to do first and what you want to do last.
Also make sure your phones doesn’t ring out when you work from home. Phone notification can be a very distracting sound which make people lose concentration. It is advisable that all notifications be kept on mute while work is ongoing because it is easy to get distracted when working from home.
When you are working from home, it is possible to achieve more if one can improve on productivity. We can’t say when there will be full easing of the lockdown so working from home is the only option available.
