A happy work environment is a productive one, so follow these tips to make sure you’re happy with your work at home.
Do what you love: Do what you love, and you won’t mind working.
Go out for lunch every once in a while: Even if you mostly eat at home for lunch, it’s good to get out and visit with a friend or colleague occasionally.
Listen to music: Keep your creativity flowing with upbeat music throughout the day.
Stop working: Set 3 important priorities you must complete each day and when that done, stop working and don’t come back until the next day.
Make notes for yourself if you need to remember something.
Work in a group: Study or work with a group of people to support each other.
Just say no: If you don’t have the time or resources to do a task, just don’t do it.
Get out and enjoy the weather: Take advantage of your flexible schedule and carve out some time to enjoy the weather, a special event or opportunity to learn.
Reward yourself: When you’ve finished an important task, reward yourself with something quick but enjoyable, like a walk around the block or a check on social media sites.
Watch TV: Work in highly productive bursts of 90 minutes. Then take a ten minute break. Set lunch at whatever hour you want, and if there’s an inspirational show you want to see, do it then. Take advantage of the fact that you can work when you choose, and do what you like at certain times during the day. Optimize your workflow with your most productive cadence, not the cycle determined by the 9-5 corporate workday.
