HERE ARE 7 PRO-TIPS FOR
WORKING REMOTELY

5.
One way to work from home productively is to dive into your to-do list as
soon as you wake up.
Simply getting a project started first thing in the morning can be the key to
making progress on it gradually throughout the day.
TIP 1: GET STARTED EARLY

6.
Make sure you have the right applications, tools and proper Internet. Lots of
remote workers are leaning heavily on Slack, Microsoft Teams, Skype,
Zoom, or GoToMeeting.
TIP 2: GET YOUR TECHNOLOGY IN ORDER

work option would make them less
likely to leave their company.74%

7.
To stay on schedule, segment what you'll do and when over the course of
the day. If you have an online calendar, create personal events and
reminders that tell you when to shift gears and start on new tasks.
Google Calendar makes this easy.
TIP 3: STRUCTURE YOUR DAY

light as possible. Have a good chair. Stand up.

where you’re wasting your precious time.
TIP 5: TRACK YOUR EVERY HOUR

hours than they would on-site.

from home. Ask your manager what the priorities are and discuss how
tasks will get done.

You schedule your tasks, meetings, and calls in the calendar, right? There’s
one more thing that you MUST plan: Distraction Breaks. Set the time when
you’ll use the phone or social media. Set the time for lunch.
Set the time for a nap. These breaks will recharge you.
