Around 70% of professionals work remotely at least one day a week and over 50% work remotely at least half of the week. With numbers like these, there\u2019s no question about whether or not remote working is a viable option.The only question is; how do we make the best of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When your home becomes your workplace the line separating the two can get blurred, and it\u2019s difficult to distinguish where work ends and life begins.<\/p>\n

Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a newbie to the work from home scene, here are a few tips to help you create a sustainable working environment to keep you focused and connected.<\/p>\n

Dress to Impress<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We can be unconscious of how dressing up (or down) affects our mood and energy. Seemingly little things like changing out of work clothes and into something more comfortable switches our brain from work mode into relaxation mode.<\/p>\n

\u2018Clothes maketh the man\u2019. People will judge you on your appearance and treat you accordingly, and whether or not you realise it, you will do the same to yourself. Donning professional attire will give you an air of professionalism which will influence your interactions and promote your sense of productivity.<\/p>\n

Include Your Kids<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Managing your time and duties might seem insurmountable, especially as a working parent. With some full-time WFH-ers and a lax WFH policy, at Devoteam Cloud Services we have found ways to juggle them expertly.<\/p>\n

Being a parent is not a switch that can be flipped on or off. When you\u2019re taking a meeting, just give your fellow participants a heads up that your children might pop in.<\/p>\n

Be ready to mute your microphone when you are not speaking.<\/p>\n

Engage your child in \u2018note-taking\u2019 activities so their involvement can be constructive. As a last resort, don\u2019t feel guilty bribing your kids. (We all do it.)<\/p>\n

Take a Break<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your productivity, mental health, and overall performance depend on it. If you\u2019re accustomed to working in the office, allow yourself the same intervals at home. Get up and stretch your legs, take your calls outside if you can. Enjoy downtime during lunch.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re in the office, your colleagues serve as human timers for coffee and lunch breaks. If you\u2019re working alone this luxury doesn\u2019t apply. You must become responsible for yourself for when and how you eat and drink.<\/p>\n

Keeping yourself hydrated may not seem like a big effort, but you might be surprised to find that 5-6 hours can easily pass you while you are sitting at your desk cranking out all that work. Keep a water bottle within reach and set timers to remind you to take a sip.<\/p>\n

Check-In<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While we don\u2019t recommend checking your email every two minutes, it\u2019s a good idea to check in with your colleagues every now and then. When you\u2019re not in the office environment, it\u2019s easy to become and feel isolated.<\/p>\n

Pop by their virtual desk with a friendly message on chat. Pick up the phone and check-in with ex-colleagues and friends. Reach out on LinkedIn to someone you\u2019ve always wanted to meet. Networking doesn\u2019t have to end just because you are home.<\/p>\n

Checking-in is even more important when working remotely. Maintain transparency by keeping others clued in as to when you may not be at your desk and readily available. Use your Calendar to clearly mark working hours and block periods of time for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Know When to Stop<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At the end of a long day it\u2019s important to know when to stop. Try to physically and emotionally disconnect at the end of your day. Simply closing your computer and muting phone notifications might not be enough. Set boundaries and let others know that you won\u2019t be checking messages\/ receiving calls. Put away your computer or close the door to your home office.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re creatures of habit and physically leaving an office can bring give your spirit a mental reset. When working from home, give yourself a change of scenery to get your brain out of work mode. Step out onto your balcony for a stretch or an afternoon coffee. Take your dog for a walk. Spend some time on a hobby or craft. Embrace your downtime. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
