A REMOTE WORKER'S GUIDE TO BALANCING HOME & WORK Balancing your home and career can be a challenge for any employee, especially when you live and work in the same space. How do you allocate your time between personal and professional responsibilities? How can you focus on conference calls when you're surrounded by dirty laundry? Learn how to set priorities and reduce distractions whether you're new to remote working or you moved out of your cubicle years ago. Use these tips for staying peaceful and productive when you work from home. Steps to Take by Yourself: Follow a schedule. Set a start and end time for your day. Tackle your most challenging tasks during the hours when you're at your peak. When it's time to quit for the day, leave your job behind. Design an office. Designate a separate space for business. It could be a whole room or a corner in your dining room. Decorate your space with pictures, art, and objects that you find inspirational and uplifting. Change clothes. You may not want to wear a suit and tie but changing out of your pajamas will help you to feel more professional. Hang up your bath robe and get dressed each morning. Limit distractions. Do you waste time watching TV or checking social media? Ban leisure activities during business hours except during break times. Take breaks. Speaking of breaks, take them. You'll be more productive if you refresh your mind and body periodically. Wind down. Do something at the end of each day to help you transition into an off-duty mindset. You might listen to classical music or take a walk in the park. Get organized. Create routines and systems that encourage efficiency. Buy a cabinet for your office supplies. Use an online calendar to block out your time.
