5 Simple Ways to Win at Working from Home
Now that you have the opportunity to work from home, you’re realizing how important it is for you to manage your day. Why? Because although you’ve gained more flexibility, what no one tells you about working from home is that productivity isn’t automatic! You have to create an environment & intentions to be productive & actually get things done.
Don’t worry! These tips will help you set yourself up to win at working from home… and not lose credibility with your team!
Here are 5 simple ways to help you win at working from home:
Tip 1:
Plan Your #PROductive3
The day before, make a list of only 3 must-do tasks that you need to accomplish for the next day. Doing this will help you prioritize your work for the day in advance & prevent overwhelm during your work day.

Tip 2:
Prepare Yourself for the Next Day
Don’t log in as soon as you wake up. Give yourself (at least) 15 minutes to prepare your mind & body for the day ahead. If you can keep a couple components of your typical morning routine when you head into the office (i.e. making coffee, meditating, praying, etc.), it’ll also help structure your day at home.
Tip 3:
Create Your Workspace
Find a designated work area with minimal distractions as possible. Refrain from working on a couch, bed, floor, or any area that’ll trigger relaxation instead of productivity!
If you don’t have a spare room to turn into your office, consider places like:
- An oversized closet
- Empty corners in large rooms
- Breakfast bars
- Morning rooms
- An end of your dining room table
Tip 4:
Keep Your In-Office Break Time
It’s very easy to work nonstop when working from home. Keeping your in-office break schedule helps you structure your workday. Setting an alarm that reminds you to take your breaks will help you avoid overworking, maintain your energy & prevent burnout!
Tip 5:
Use Breaks for Personal Tasks
Honor your company’s time by working during work hours. Personal & household break tasks should be done during your break time. Maintain your professional integrity whether you’re in the office or working from home!
