4 Ways To Make Yourself More Productive working from home

Nothing can be more luxurious than working from the comfort of your home. After all, nobody is fond of commuting long distances, wearing formal attire, and reaching the desk at eight a.m. sharp. But working from home can be challenging as time passes by. You might feel you’re unable to meet the deadlines. Your working hours might just seem to be endless.

So, does working from home make you think that you’re working forever? Sometimes, yes. That’s because working in an office environment helps you concentrate on your daily tasks. But when you work from home, you’re occupied by countless distractions. This results in low productivity.

If working from home doesn’t help you meet your objectives, it’s time to bring changes to your work-life routine.

Here are four ways to make yourself more productive while working from home.   

Get A Workplace


It might be tempting to start working while sitting on your couch or even bed. But the downside is that this level of comfort might cause lethargy, and thus, you’d be unable to concentrate on the screen. This will not only waste your valuable time but will also require more of your energy.

That’s why it’s crucial to disconnect yourself from a typical home setting and trick your brain by setting up an office environment.

You can do this by using a specific corner of your home as your workspace. Begin by choosing the right ergonomic chair and a desk. Bring in your laptop/computer and other necessary items such as a pen, a water bottle, and a diary.

You can turn your favorite landscape photo into a painting and hang it on one of the walls.

Communicate With Your Loved Ones

Here’s the biggest con of remote working: it’s difficult to say “no” to your family members when they ask you to go out with them and have lunch. But that’s when you need to set boundaries if they persuade you during your working hours.

Instead of assuming that it would sound rude, you should politely communicate with your family and friends about your working hours beforehand. Inform them about a specific time slot, so they’re able to know your availability.

Practice Consistency Even When Working At Home


Do friends call you a workaholic? That might sound good but might hinder your productivity.

Instead of overdoing it, it’s worth preparing a consistent schedule. Plan the number of hours you’re capable of working in a day and stick to it.

For instance, if you’re not an early riser but still aim to work for eight hours a day, you can set your schedule from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. It would be best if you didn’t allow any distractions within this time slot.

Once you excel consistently, you’ll also be able to create a work-life balance.

Whether you work from home every day or a couple of times per week, these tips can help you to get the most out of your remote work hours!Click To Tweet

Get Up After Every Thirty Minutes

You might think that working for long hours will help you complete a task sooner. But in reality, it might take a toll on your health while also affecting your spine. Though it’s natural to forget to stand up from the chair and get moving, it still is possible.

Using one of the work break apps will remind you to leave your desk for a few minutes and then resume working again.

You can do multiple essential tasks while taking short breaks: drink a glass of water, give a 5-minute call to a loved one, or just stretch your muscles and be more productive!

The Takeaway


The productivity techniques mentioned above are trial-and-error practices. You’ll only know about the improvement in your productivity level once you apply these.

That’s why you should start trying what best fits your work routine. It might take a few days, but things will smooth out once you develop a work-from-home mindset.
