Thanks to our changing world today, many people are now needing to work away from the office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve put together our top tips to help you stay focused and productive!<\/p>\n

1. Set up a functional workstation<\/h2>\n

A sturdy desk and a supportive, comfortable chair are essential. Your back will thank you! Avoid lounging on the couch, where you\u2019re likely to lose focus. Choose a private space with good lighting \u2013 bonus points if there\u2019s natural light!<\/p>\n

2. Get reliable internet for all those downloads<\/h2>\n

Choose the right home internet plan<\/a> for your needs. Set up your router in a central place for the best Wi-Fi results<\/a> or connect your computer using an Ethernet cable<\/a> for optimum performance.<\/p>\n

Use a mobile hotspot with your smartphone as a backup option. If you have spotty Wi-Fi coverage in your home, our team can come to you, assess the internet throughout your home and offer solutions to improve your experience \u2013 just ask us!<\/p>\n

3. Stay social, digitally<\/h2>\n

In a virtual work environment, you can use chat platforms and a webcam to stay connected with your colleagues. Just like you\u2019d FaceTime a family member over a long distance, you\u2019ll feel less isolated using tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams or Zoom.<\/p>\n

4. Create your atmosphere<\/h2>\n

Some people like to work in absolute silence behind a closed door. Others draw inspiration with a set of headphones and some tunes from a music streaming service like TIDAL, Spotify or Apple Music. We recommend turning the TV off, as this can be distracting.<\/p>\n

5. Remove distractions<\/h2>\n

Constant notifications from your personal mobile phone can be disruptive \u2013 social media junkies beware! A cluttered desk can make your mind wander too. Don\u2019t procrastinate tasks with house chores like that growing pile of laundry. Ask yourself, \u201cwould I be doing this while I\u2019m at the office?\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Have a daily plan<\/h2>\n

Stick to a set routine and plan out your goals each day, working through them methodically with short breaks. You can use project management platforms like Asana<\/a>, Trello or Microsoft Planner, and set up digital reminders on your device. Of course, the old-fashioned paper to-do list can work just fine too!<\/p>\n

7. Dress for success<\/h2>\n

Start each day fresh by replacing your pyjamas with respectable, clean clothes. Maintaining a healthy hygiene routine also goes with the territory! These simple practices will keep you alert, helping your body distinguish between work and relaxation time<\/a> so they aren\u2019t blended together.<\/p>\n

8. Keep moving<\/h2>\n

Everyone needs a break once and a while! Get up from your desk occasionally to have a stretch, venture into the backyard for some sunshine and take a lunch break to clear your head. Take a walk around the block when you need a diversion from being inside or use online workout tools<\/a> to stay fit on a rainy day.<\/p>\n

9. Look after your health<\/h2>\n

Just like keeping active, it\u2019s important to eat nutritious meals and avoid snacking on junk food throughout the day. Get a good night\u2019s sleep and if you\u2019re ever feeling sick, be sensible and take time off work if you need to!<\/p>\n

10. Make sure your tech is dependable<\/h2>\n

Your computer will stay reliable when given a little \u201cTLC\u201d. Consider a data backup solution, keep your software and operating system updated and make sure you install virus protection.<\/p>\n
