The flexibility to work in our house is a luxury that we have to know how to manage in an adequate way to maximize our productivity without falling into the great vice of living to work.
Working from our home has its advantages, but we need to know how to identify and control the disadvantages that this situation may cause us. Here are 10 tips to organize working remotely without “losing” the head for work.
In the morning the day before, try to have breakfast outside. If you go to work at 9 am and usually get up at 8 to leave at 8.30, try to leave at 8.30 for breakfast to start work at 9.
Never and strictly prohibited to work in pajamas 
. Working from home can have “the attraction” at first, but soon you will realize that the feeling that the morning meets the night without realizing it.
Set a regular schedule, flexibility can end up being counterproductive. If parts of your day for various reasons due to the flexibility of working from home, it may happen that while you work 8am, finish the day with the feeling of having been working all day.
Enables a work area in your home, area and conditioned enabled to help you change the “chip” to work as distinguished from leisure. For example, the equipment on board to work, and when you dedicate yourself to “your stuff” using the laptop in another location of your home.
Mingle with your peers, do not have the feeling of being in your bubble. The more direct communication is much better, so video conferencing would be the appropriate means, the messenger can be used for a pinch point.Visit the office at least once a week, however far you may have the office, sure at least once a week you get close. Do not miss the condition part of an organization, your goals are part of it.
By midmorning, try out at least 15min. Enjoy lunch, take a walk … take some fresh air. You can also eat away from home one day, although the food from home is always better, the “disconnect” from your place of work is not over.
At home we have fewer interruptions in the office, so chances are if you do not control the focus of our activities at some point end up overloaded. It is important to use your time Pomodoros to control focus. Not only that, in those breaks, is to carry out domestic activity, apart from saving time when you finish work will also help you unwind in the pauses of Pomodoro.
Make physical activity in the schedule that you want. In the morning may be the excuse to leave early. By midmorning it may be time you need to disconnect or the end of the day.
At the end of the day, try to leave home. Getting the ritual, “go home after work.” Taking a walk, go out and do sports, have a coffee …
Do not forget that your home is not just your work habits, time flexibility and work in your home can help in many things in your life. In case you have offspring, you could adjust your schedule to switch to the exits and out of school.
These recommendations are those that I have acquired over time. The first few days, work in your pajamas is strange but I just repudiated. And not worth that of “I saw only the top for video conferencing,” that’s just bullshit you see on TV
Of course, if you work remotely also like to know your impressions in order to improve my condition, be encouraged to leave a comment with your experience.
