Businesses, malls, schools, museums, parks, and other public places across every nation who are affected by COVID-19 are forced to stop their operations in an attempt to contain the pandemic. People have come up with different methods on how to be safe. Many people have chosen to stay at home and must practice social distancing to avoid spreading the virus further.
We spend most of our time at home. This sudden transition is a new environment for us from taking classes online and working from home. To cope with the New Normal, Home Cartel lists down some tips on how to be productive while you are working from home.
- Organize your day – List down your tasks for the day and sort out which ones are your top priorities. You could also have a calendar or timeline for each of your workloads so you can monitor all your tasks.
- Keep in touch – Communicate with your friends and workmates virtually using applications like Zoom, Skype, and Slack.
- Schedule breaks – Apply your company’s policy on break times and give yourself a break from the computer screen and phone.
- Set ground rules – Set ground rules for yourself and with other people in your home. What are off-limits and dos and don’ts when you are working? Working from home may be an advantage but don’t let your productivity suffer.
- Create a comfortable working environment – Your work area should be clean, bright, and comfortable to ensure maximum productivity.
