6 tips for working from the home office
Especially since 2020, working from home is no longer a rarity. However, the radical changeover was not only a challenge for employers, but also for employees. Ad hoc productivity from the office also had to be maintained from "the couch at home". In addition to children, pets and the household, this was a real challenge.
Therefore, today we would like to present 6 tips that will make it easier for you to work from your home office and increase your productivity.
1.keep your routine as far as possible
For example, set yourself fixed working hours during which you do not focus on other things. Then you can take care of the other things around you in small slots.
2. the workplace
Ideally, you should have your own room where you can set up your office. If circumstances do not allow this, find a fixed place where you can work. Working in different places should be avoided if possible so that you feel at home in your home and don't always think about the office.
3. respect breaks
Set yourself fixed breaks where you take time to relax. This way you can continue your work rested and stress-free.
Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

4. fight against procrastination
If you are more prone to distraction, block Instagram & Co. during working hours, for example.
To check yourself to see if you have been productive, create a priority list with realistic deadlines. If you are unable to meet them, check whether the volume of work or other distracting factors are to blame.
5. keep in touch with your colleagues
Working from home means that you may not be up to date with important changes in your company or department. Therefore, make a conscious effort to keep in touch with your colleagues. For example, organize a call with a colleague from your team once a week to catch up.
6. finish work on time
In order to strengthen yourself for the next day and also to be able to switch off, it is important that you finish work on time. Especially in the home office, it is tempting to quickly go to the computer. However, you must learn to separate your private and professional life in order to maintain a good work-life balance.
