In these times, Working from home has become the norm for many of us. Although the idea of not having to commute and working in your pajamas sounds fantastic, The reality is that maintaining productivity can be quite a challenge.. Requires a lot of discipline, self-regulation and work behavior.
So, Today we are going to share with you some advanced and unusual tips that, at least for us, have not proven to be effective in this modality that we have implemented every day for several years..
Let's get to it!
- Establish Microtask Routines
Most of us are used to dividing our day into large blocks of time dedicated to important tasks.. Nevertheless, when you work from home, it's easy to lose concentration.
Our advice?
Divide your day into microtasks. These small blocks of time dedicated to specific tasks will help you stay focused and avoid procrastination. For example, instead of planning “work on project”, divide time into “write project report (30 minutes)”, “review project X figures (30 minutes)”, and so on.
You will see how your productivity skyrockets!!
- Optimize your Workspace
Your environment has a big impact on your ability to concentrate. Make sure your workspace is well organized and free of distractions. A clean and functional desk not only improves your concentration, but it can also improve your mood.
Our advice?
A clean and functional desk. This not only improves your concentration, but it can also improve your mood. Personalize your space with elements that inspire you, like plants, photos or a good lamp. Remember, Your workspace should be a place where you feel comfortable and motivated to work.
- Use Technology for Collaboration
Working from home doesn't mean working alone. There are numerous real-time collaboration tools that can help you maintain fluid communication with your team..
Our advice?
Use tools like Slack for daily communication, Asana for project management and Trello for task tracking.
These tools not only facilitate collaboration, but they also ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals..
- Pomodoro technique
Have you heard of the Pomodoro technique?? It's a time management strategy that can transform the way you work. The idea is simple: work in 25 minute intervals, followed by a 5 minute pause. After four “pomodoros”, take a longer break of 15-30 minutes. This approach helps you stay focused and manage your time more effectively.. In addition, Regular breaks help prevent burnout and maintain your energy throughout the day.
Our advice?
Dare to implement it!
- Incorporate Wellness Routines
Working from home can make it easy to fall into the trap of working non-stop. Make sure to incorporate wellness routines into your day. This may include active breaks, stretching exercises, or even a short meditation session. These practices not only improve your physical health, but they can also increase your energy and productivity.
