Working from home today? Here are 5 tips for getting things done effectively when you’re out of the office.

01

Clothes

Try not to mix your domestic and work life – in the morning get out of your pyjamas and in to some specific ‘work’ clothes. This’ll help change your mindset and click in to work mode. Do the opposite at the end of your working day

02

Space

Dedicate some space as your ‘workspace’ – doesn’t have to be a separate room, even a tiny surface dedicated as your work zone will do, just don’t clutter it up with domestic items.

03

Focus

Go in to your work zone and stay focused for a specific period of time. Don’t get distracted by domestic duties during that time.

04

Breaks

Establish a routine of focused periods with regular breaks – get up from your work zone, stretch and move from your chair and clear your head.

05

Availability

Remind yourself and others that working from home does not mean you are instantly available at all times of the day and night – be empowered to structure your availability and time.
