Tips for staying focused |
|
•
|
Start working at the same time. Treat telework days like regular workdays: get up, get dressed, and be "at your desk" at the usual time.
|
|
•
|
Establish a schedule. Keep work hours similar to the ones you would keep if you were working at your office. Your manager and your co-workers will appreciate knowing when you'll be available.
|
|
•
|
Limit distractions. Be careful not to replace office-based interruptions with home-based ones (such as children, neighbors, and friends).
|
|
•
|
Plan ahead. Take the appropriate work home. Some work may be better suited for the home office than other work, so be sure to plan the telework a day ahead.
|
|
•
|
Take breaks. Plan time to get up and move around. Consider going for a walk or a run during your lunch break to keep your mind fresh.
|
|
•
|
Focus on objectives. Work with your manager and colleagues to define clear goals and objectives against which your performance can be objectively measured.
|
