Working from home has emerged as a new way of working. As companies aligned with authorities’ guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic, workers were forced to work from home. But working from home comes with its unique challenges, and productivity can dip. That should not be the case; though working from home comes with a lot of freedom and distractions. It should not hinder you from doing your work. Here are a few tips on how you can improve your productivity while working from home;

Get dressed every day
It would help if you prepared yourself psychologically. That means creating an environment similar to that of a typical office day. Get up every morning and get ready to go to work. Follow your regular routine as if you are going to the office but, more importantly, dress up. There is the temptation of being in your PJs all day, but you should resist this urge. Dressing up means you are psychologically prepared to work.

Stick to a routine to separate “work time” from “home time"
Routine is everything when working from home. It is the key to separating your home life from your work life. If you tend to mix between the two, then your productivity will go down. You need to clarify when your work life starts and where it ends. Otherwise, you will find yourself caring for the baby, or other home chores when a zoom meeting is going on.

Get a change of scenery
Once in a while, it is vital to change the scenery. It is crucial to concentrate on your work, but taking a break and leaving the house is important. It will help you recharge, and you will feel rejuvenated, which means you will be more productive. Going out may also help ignite your creativity and help boost your analytical skills.
