More than a year after the pandemic, working fromΒ home has retained its status quo despite the fact that theΒ US vaccine campaign is in full swing already. This newΒ workstyle has numerous benefits. That isβ€” if peopleΒ appropriately apply the best methods. Here are someΒ new tips for working from home in 2021.

Virtual Commute

You might not miss your commute, but now you canΒ benefit by adding them back to your daily life. A virtualΒ trip to work, also known as β€œfake commute,” is a greatΒ way to start a new day, because it allows you to developΒ good daily habits. Before starting your work day, thinkΒ about how long it usually takes you to go to workβ€”Β whether it’s 30 minutes or an hour. Use this time toΒ exercise, go for a walk, bike ride or run. Doing so willΒ increase your endorphins, and the rich blood supply ofΒ your brain will make you energetic and make you feelΒ naturally rejuvenated. Because your brain has beenΒ improved, your productivity will increase, and your workΒ efficiency will be higher. Virtual commute enables you toΒ have a healthy work and rest schedule, while alsoΒ ensuring that you rise and shine early in the morning asΒ you go β€œon the way” to work.

Consistent schedule during the week and onΒ weekends

Having a consistent schedule allows you to better control where you spend your time and energy. This is extremely important in the age of WFH. Having no walls between an office environment and home could lead to a major burnout. You can achieve a healthy balance between working time, family and personal care accordingly with a steady timetable. Having a predictable routine, particularly during times of stress, can help alleviate tension and anxiety, and make you feel more productive. Moreover, your hours are no longer limited to 9 to 5. Make a schedule that suits your lifestyle and work.

Rest intervals with a “Task Timer”

Setting up time constraints can be one of the mostΒ helpful things in terms of staying accountable andΒ meeting deadlines. The goal is to set aside a decentΒ amount of time to concentrate on a single task, and thenΒ take a brief break to recharge your spirit and prepare forΒ the next task. For all kinds of workers, fromΒ procrastinators to perfectionists, this habit can produce aΒ variety of positive benefits and increase overallΒ productivity. For procrastinators, blocking time can helpΒ increase motivation and establish a reward system. If youΒ work on a project for an hour, you can reward yourself byΒ walking outdoors or watching videos online. If you are aΒ perfectionist and tend to separate things clearly, thisΒ habit can help you realize how much time you spend on aΒ task and set limits so that you can prevent this behaviorΒ from becoming harmful.

Quiet time to let you ignore chats and emails

We all have days where we jump from one meeting toΒ another, and never seem to have time to concentrate onΒ our individual tasks. Coupled with the constant onslaughtΒ of chats and emails, it’s hard to give yourself a little time.Β Establish a “quiet time,” where you can turn off theseΒ notifications and focus on a task, which is very importantΒ to save your schedule and increase your autonomy.

Be with nature

Working with plants around you can treat and evenΒ improve your overview of work. Placing indoor plants inΒ your work environment or even relocate your desk to anΒ outdoor space can improve air quality by removingΒ harmful pollutants and stabilizing humidity levels. It isΒ also widely believed that plants and open space can helpΒ reduce stress and stimulate creativity. The lower theΒ pressure, the more efficient your work will be, especiallyΒ when working from home.
