How to do work from home in the circumstances of Corona virus
Rajendra Zadpe
The pandemic of COVID-19 has affected the lives of billions of people worldwide.
Many companies, both large and small, have closed their doors, asking their workers to operate remotely to prevent possible infections.
Getting the freedom to be able to work from home has been a vision we all have been seeking for a long time. There are also real advantages of operating remotely, but there are also huge obstacles to tackle. So, to tackle such obstacles, here are few tips to make your remote work experience as productive and enjoyable as it can be.
-
Have a dedicated workplace
Those that are fortunate enough to have a guest room or a spare room to convert into an office have a convenient place to transform into an effective workspace. Even if you live in less spacious quarters, it's nice to have a special place to work, even though it is just a corner of a living room or bedroom.
-
Create a comfortable environment
Do what you can to make your home office as relaxed, comfortable and usable as possible. Operating an eight-hour day in a bad chair will do a great deal of harm to your body— and to your attitude. So, make sure that find comfortable setting to have an effective workplace.
-
Have to - do lists
It's nice to have a list of stuff you're planning to do a day. The trick, however, is to realize that you won't be able to finish it for several days. It's important not to beat yourself up on that, particularly when you're the first to start.
-
Avoid distraction
Someone who works from home will probably be disturbed, and it's even worse if you have a family that's around because of the coronavirus. Yet try to keep yourself busy in the same way you did at work. Try to focus on your work and try not to binge watch movies or television shows.
-
Deal with being isolated
Nothing can replace the face-to-face touch. Remote staff are expected to feel like they're out of the loop. The nice thing at this point is that everyone is in the same boat, since you don't have to think about the people still in the office who might fill the holes and chat longer after a conference call or video conference is done.
-
Take breaks
You're not going to be as effective or successful in getting work done from home as you were in the workplace. Don't get yourself down because of that. But if you feel like you don't get much done in the first place, you can finally get the hang of things and find your bearings.
- When you're working from home for the first time, and you're in a near-panic, you're not alone. Just about every remote worker has been through what you're going through. Have the courage to know that you're going to get through this difficult first stage and achieve success sooner than you think.
