Establish a dedicated workspace, even if it’s your kitchen table, to signal to your brain that it’s time for work.
Follow these steps to get started:
Start each day with written goals, track your progress, and adjust as needed. Communicate with supervisors and colleagues about your plan.
Establish boundaries to minimize interruptions from pets, children, or hobbies. Use headphones to block out noise.
Assess your workspace for privacy, secure sensitive information, and be mindful of what’s visible during video conferences.
Initiate calls or messages to colleagues working remotely. Maintain regular communication, just as you would on-site.
While casual dress is a perk, getting “ready for work” helps shift into a productive mindset.
