Many businesses have moved from home to work due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected the world. While some workers were happy to work from home, others complained of reduced productivity and motivation. However, the concept of "freelance" in our lives has developed even more. As with any job, you need to master certain skills to work as a freelancer. But how can we increase our motivation and efficiency while working from home?
Don't lose touch
We must constantly communicate with our teammates to ensure the continuity of the work done by the team. Choosing written communication while providing this communication can take you away from your team. Prefer voice and video calls as much as possible. This will bring you closer and healthier to your team.
Manage your time
While it may be nice to have more flexible working hours when working from home, it will definitely reduce your productivity. Waking up at the same time every day and going out at the same time will allow you to do your work on a regular basis. Therefore, try to work at the same time, setting daily routines.
Create your own program
Doing your work in a certain order and program allows you to work more efficiently and not lose work. You can easily follow your work by preparing daily and weekly programs. In addition, these programs will be very useful for you in time management, because they will show you how much time you need to devote to a particular task.
Need a break at home
When working from home, don't forget to take a break like in the office. Although we are not physically tired, our minds are tired and we need breaks. Continuing to work without rest will have a negative effect on both motivation and efficiency. Therefore, be sure to rest.
Create your "workplace"
Continuous work in a different part of the house will make it difficult for you to get used to the process. Therefore, create a work area for yourself and try to work in this area continuously during your working hours. Simplify by removing things that distract from that area. A comfortable work chair and desk are also very important for your physical health and motivation.
