Create capacity

Working from home is easy for some, and a challenge for others. It’s up to you to reduce distractions or minimise frustrations.

Think about your work-at-home environment and assess its suitability for the long haul. Make sure your monitor, keyboard, general workspace and chair are set up for you to be effective. If working from home is a success during the coronavirus pandemic, it may become the “new normal”. Setting up as well as possible from the get-go will create a standard for your productivity.

Adopt a routine for planning and progressing your day. Part of this should be making an effort to keep in contact with your colleagues. A problem shared is a problem about to be solved.
