If you are used to working in an office environment, transitioning to working from home may not be as easy as one might think. There are a number of benefits associated with remote work, like spending more time on work and less time commuting, or enjoying more work-life balance. However, there are also a number of documented psychological impacts associated with being alone, especially if you are the type of person who thrives on social interaction. Additionally, it can be difficult to know where work ends and home life starts when you are working 100 percent remotely.
Fortunately, there are several tools and tips you can take advantage of to help you stay productive, focused and mentally healthy while working from home.
These applications are provided for informational purposes only. No partnership with DeVry University exists or can be implied.
Additionally, try implementing productivity techniques to activate "sprints" of focused work and keep your mind sharp throughout the day. Some examples include:
The Pomodoro Technique: Choose a task, work on that task for 25 minutes (use a timer) with no distractions (no email, social media, phone calls, etc.), and then take a five-minute break. Repeat throughout the day.
Eat The Frog : Do your most important task early in the morning, before moving on to emails and other daily tasks.
Batch Your Tasks : Group together similar tasks and tackle the items in each batch at one time.
Identify Your Productive Times : Every person is different. Identify when you are most productive, and try to organize your work day around those times.
