Just Surviving: Working Remotely for Beginners

Following on from my last post where I talked about how difficult working remotely can be, today I am posting some of my advice on how to maintain a positive you-work relationship, and healthy work-life balance.

Find Somewhere to Hide

First and foremost, having a dedicated workspace can do wonders for your productivity and mindset. Even if you don't have a separate room, find a corner that you can make your own. This space should be free from distractions and solely for work.

Get Off Your Butt

One of the perks of working remotely is flexibility, but too much flexibility can lead to chaos. Set a consistent schedule that includes starting and ending your workday at the same time each day. Include regular breaks to avoid burnout.

Get Dressed You Lazy Sod

It might be tempting to stay in your pajamas all day, but getting dressed as if you're going to the office can help put you in the right mindset. It doesn't have to be formal, but changing out of your sleepwear can signal to your brain that it's time to get to work.

Use Technology Wisely

Leverage tools that enhance communication and productivity. Applications like Clockwise can help you stay connected with your team and manage your tasks efficiently. Stay away from your video games and megadrives! /s

Stay Connected

Working remotely can be isolating. Make an effort to stay connected with your colleagues. Regular check-ins, virtual coffee breaks, and team meetings can help maintain a sense of camaraderie and keep you in the loop.

Set Boundaries

It's easy to let work spill into your personal time when you work from home. Set clear boundaries and communicate them with your household members and your team. Let everyone know when you're available and when you're not.

Prioritize Self-Care

Your mental and physical health should always come first. Take regular breaks, go for walks, and make time for activities that help you unwind. Remember, a healthy mind and body are crucial for sustained productivity. Put. These. In. Your. Work. Calendar. Untitled if necessary. Build them into your day.

Keep Learning and Growing

Use the extra time saved from commuting to invest in your personal and professional development. There are countless online courses and resources available to help you acquire new skills and stay competitive in your field.

Be Patient with Yourself

Lastly, be patient. It might take some time to find what works best for you. Give yourself grace as you figure out this new way of working.

Conclusion

Full transparency, my own words have been enhanced by the use of GPT because I have the writing skills of a 12-year-old. So sue me. But in all seriousness, finding the right balance and maintaining a positive relationship with your work when remote is key to thriving in this environment. With these tips, I hope you find it a bit easier to navigate the challenges and make the most of your remote work experience.
