How to work from home: “Early bird catches the worm.”

 

Your morning commute helps you wake up early and feel ready to work by the time you arrive at your desk. At home, you are very much down to your own devices as you transition from your pillow to your laptop; this can be much more grating.

Have you got a to-do list? This is an essential ingredient to kick-starting your productivity. You do not need to rush your work, and for that reason, it is best to start early and work on a project gradually; this will allow for any amendments to be rectified.

To make money fast is no easy feat, however, setting up a profile on a freelance marketplace can give you direction and allow you maximum exposure to a vast audience that is specifically searching for your skillset.

 

How to work from home: Office time!

 

Having a link between home and the office can make you more productive, when working from home this feeling should not be lost, having complete independence can boost your performance, here’s why;

Working from home allows you to take control of your environment and prepare as you would if you were going into an office job. Try setting your alarm, make a coffee, dress smart and get yourself a comfortable office chair. All of this preparation seems ‘full-on’; however, you will notice an immediate difference in your productivity.

Constructively manage your time; after all, you are your own PA. Be sure to set up meetings with clients; otherwise, you could quickly lose focus. Make sure you are engaged in meetings by taking a pad and pen (laptop) and present yourself well, because, when you return to your workstation you will want to maximise your output by boosting your project with insightful know-how or form a new direction.

Tasking is about commitment and finding the right energy for your project to work. Why not view a course to engage with your learning capability and protect your investment (skillset) or create a schedule to break up your day allowing yourself to commit to personnel events or start on a new task?

 

How to work from home: Commit and be productive.  

 

Projects can be difficult, and for that reason, you may not be as productive as you first set out to be. Always overestimate when giving timelines to a client not to discourage work but to provide a likely and honest estimate for the completed deliverables. Remember, if you do come out of the day, having underachieved create a list to monitor tasks that still require actions.

Let your inspiration naturally unfold on tasks as this will encourage you to be seemingly motivated throughout the day. If you are a morning person make sure you are up in time to maximise the natural ebbs and flows of your work ethic, however, if you are a late riser understand your routine and identify when it best suits you to achieve high levels of output.

Save your most difficult tasks for when you know you can complete them in the right frame of mind. If you are in a lulled part of the day, perhaps it is best to tackle the easy tasks. This will build your confidence and allow you to progress at a steady pace towards the end goal (project completion), having this insight will set you up in a strategic position to conduct heavy tasks at a later stage.
