The Best Time Management Tips (at home)
#1 HAVE A SET TIME TO WAKE UP
Sadly working from home doesn’t mean you get to sleep in! Set an alarm clock like you would with an office job. This tells you that you still have a schedule to go by.
The key is not hitting the snooze button! Maybe setting your phone out of arms reach will do just that!
#2 GET READY FOR THE DAY
Ditch your pj’s and get into your work clothes! This is the beginning of getting motivated! Staying in lounging clothes will just make you want to get back into bed or sit around the couch not doing anything.
Put on an outfit that you would wear to a job outside of your home. You are letting your brain know that you still need to get ready for a productive workday!
#3 SET A TO-DO LIST FOR YOUR WORKDAY
Every job has things that need to be accomplished by the end of the day. Set your list from the day before so you have a clear vision of everything that needs to be done!
In the morning look through the list and start from the most important items. (items that need to be done asap)
#4 HAVE A WORKPLACE
If you don’t have a home office space, choose a spot in your home where you work.
Having this space will help you stay focused during the workday. (A kitchen table would be a great workspace!)
#5 HAVE AN END TIME
Just like a day at the office, your workday has to end. Pick a time where you have to put your things up and close up for the day!
This lets your mind know that there is an end to all the tasks. This also keeps you from overworking yourself and feeling overwhelmed.
Follow these tips as you get into the habit of managing your time at home wisely. We know that these tips will help you stay productive throughout your day.
