For fifteen years I have been working from home. Here are some of my success tips.
1) Treat it like a regular workday and create a routine.
2) Dress like you are going to work. You can keep it business casual but create a division between the different clothes you wear throughout the day.
3) Create a different workspace if you don’t have one. Hopefully away from daily home life activities.
4) Take breaks every 50 minutes. Go to the washroom, go up and down the stairs, or whatever for 5 or 10 minutes.
5) Connect with clients, vendors, or friends via WebEx, Zoom, or any other video system to allow you to see other people.
6) Keep a routine of regular hours. Start at 9 am and stop at 4 pm. If you need to make adjustments, do so but don’t spend all your time online.
7) Feed your head with motivating information. Find a source that gives you positive thinking.
8) Start the day by counting your blessings or what you appreciate in life. Focus on listing 10 items first thing in the morning. It helps with your inner thinking.
9) Set a learning plan. I mean it. There are lots of YouTube videos on how to do something.
10) Drink lots of water, be physically active, and take time for you.
I hope this helps. I know it works for me.
