KEY TAKEAWAYS
Preparation is key: Before working from home, it's important to prepare by considering the length of your work period, the needs of your children, and who can help you during that time.
Effective communication: Communicate with your children, colleagues, and anyone else involved in your work-from-home setup. Clearly communicate your work schedule, expectations, and any potential distractions or interruptions.
Take regular breaks: Incorporate regular breaks into your work routine to maintain focus and productivity. The Pomodoro technique, which involves 25 minutes of focused work followed by a 5-minute break, can be helpful in this regard.
Optimise your physical space: Create a conducive work environment by organising your physical space, ensuring comfort, and considering factors like temperature and ergonomics. If possible, consider using a standing desk to minimise the negative effects of prolonged sitting.
Use technology wisely: Leverage technology to enhance your productivity and focus. Utilise productivity tools, such as timers and apps, to track your progress and minimise distractions. However, be mindful of notifications and consider turning them off to avoid interruptions
