Now almost anyone can work from home. The advantage in this is primarily those people whose field of activity is in one way or another connected with the Internet. The positive aspects of remote work are obvious, but one should not forget about the shortcomings, the main one of which is the need to correctly distribute working time.
The phenomenon of working from home has both ardent supporters and implacable opponents. In this case, we are not talking about part-time work at leisure, but about the main source of income. Many people find it nearly impossible to be productive from home. This is due to the homely relaxing atmosphere, which does not set you in a business mood.
When a person is in the office, his household and work chores are strictly divorced. If you have chosen the house as your workplace, then the line between them is erased. This often affects both the solution of household problems and interferes with the main work. Thus, if you decide to earn your daily bread from home, then make an adamant rule: to delineate the areas of your activity. To do this, determine at what hours a cozy bedroom turns into a study with rules and restrictions. This means that during working hours there is no time for dirty dishes and non-ironed laundry.
When working from home, it is important to observe the ritual of starting the working day. There is nothing supernatural about this: act as if you are in the office.
An important aspect of remote work is the exclusion of entertaining moments from the work "life". Many people today are social media users. If you are one of them, then make it a rule not to use them during business hours. You should have one window and one browser open - just the field of your immediate activity without any background support. Do you want to relax? Turn your head to the window, let your eyes relax and rest. An exception is made by people working with the use of social networks. Pets can be another powerful distraction. Limit your interactions with them while you work.
It is better to equip the workplace near the window. In this case, daylight will energize and stimulate you to activity. When working from home, do not become an overly strict boss for yourself, because you need to give your body a rest. For example, walk around the room, make tea, have a snack. But remember: the break should not be longer than 15 minutes. No movies or entertainment sites.
Thus, productive work at home depends on your own mood and competent organization of the workday routine.
