00:00 Intro
00:20 Number 10. Set Real Work Hours.
The beauty of working from home is that you can be flexible in setting your working hours. Enforce a hard limit at the end of the day. Distance yourself from work, so you don’t work nonstop. Regardless of your schedule, be sure to establish set work hours to follow each day. Communicate your work schedule to co-workers, teams, and your boss.
00:50 Number 9. Update Your To-Do List Every Morning.
When working from home and you don’t have a boss breathing down your neck, it can be challenging to keep track of what you have to do throughout your workday. It’s easy to lose sight of priorities, tasks, and deadlines.
Start your day by reviewing priorities for the day. When you make your task list, stick to it. Set goals and time limits for each task. After you complete each task, cross it off the list. This simple technique is both effective and fulfilling.
01:27 Number 8. Stick to One Project Management App.
If you are not a, to-do list, or planner person, don’t worry, there are plenty of modern project management apps available that can still help you. Top project management apps include: Asana, Basecamp, Trello, and Freedcamp. We will leave a link to each in the description below.
01:53 Number 7. Don’t Work in Your PJs.
We know — this is one reason why people love working from home. If you enjoy working in your PJs, then you are killing your productivity. “Dress for success” isn’t just a corporate catchphrase; it really matters when you work from home. Beyond psychologically getting you in the right mindset for work, you’ll be ready to handle any kind of video chat or check-in with a teammate. You’ll be prepared to get work done, and you will be mentally and physically prepared for the day. Even if you don’t leave the house, dress for work as if you were in the office.
02:31 Number 6. Exercise & Stretch Regularly.
Exercise naturally boosts endorphins, which increases happiness, enjoyment, and interest levels, all of which are important for productivity. Regularly stretching helps you maintain great posture. At a minimum, stretch throughout the day so you don’t get sore or hinder your quality of life. If your day allows, take a lunch break and go for a walk, go to the gym, or stretch.
03:02 Number 5. Eat Healthy Meals & Snacks.
Another work from home reality is that we have full access to the kitchen. When we work in an office, we are at the mercy of whatever is available in the cafeteria or whatever lunch we brought from
