And many people find that as soon as you start working remotely, you realize your productivity drops and you struggled with a lot of things you don't struggle with when you work in an office.

Recently, with everything that's been going on, a lot of people have been forced toe work remotely that maybe have never worked remote before.

I'm sure you may be in that situation, or you may be in this situation where people around you are working remotely that aren't used to it.

And they're just making it more difficult for you because they aren't as productive or they're interfering with your normal remote work life.

So in this video, I'm gonna be sharing all the tips and tricks that I know so that you could be the most productive as possible while working remote and also so you could help others that are working remotely by sharing this video with them if you found it useful, and the first tip that I want to give you if you're just starting out working remotely, maybe you've never worked remote before is to just treat life just like normal, as if you were going into the office.

That means when you wake up in the morning, I want you to get ready fully put on clothes, don't sit around in your pajamas and wait till noon to take a shower.

I want you to get up, shave, put on clothes, take a shower, treated as if you were going to work, even dress up Nice.

Take that moment to dress up nice, and it'll make you feel like you're getting into that work mode.

A lot of people on the weekends will lounge around in their pajamas and not get readyto later.

And when you do that same thing on a work day when you're not used to working remotely, it puts your mind into relax ation mode weekend mode and you're not really in that work mindset.

So by going through the motions of getting ready, getting dressed, showering, shaving all of that stuff that you normally do in the morning, it's gonna put you into your work mindset, which will make it much easier for you to sit down and start working without being distracted by all of that.

Relax ation mindset by abstain in your pajamas and speaking on that same kind of idea of relax ation mindset, make sure that when you're working from home, you're not working in the same place that you normally do.

You refuse your activities, which means Don't go out into your living room and sit on your couch toe work remotely.

This is something that's going to make your living room and your workspace conflict Because now, living room where you normally laid back and watch Netflix watch movies, whatever it is, is now the same place you're working in.

Are you in a work environment or are you in a leisure environment?

Because when you go to the office for work, your mind knows Okay, this is where I work.

But if you're in the area where you normally relax, your mind thinks Okay, this is where I relax.

So instead of being productive and working, your mind is constantly trying to tell you Hey, shouldn't you be relaxing?

So I highly recommend that you get yourself a dedicated place toe work.

This doesn't have to be a full blow and work from home office.

You may not have won, but just having a simple desk or a chair or something, somewhere where you go and that is where you work.

You probably don't use the guest bedroom in your house very often.

Set it up so that it has a chair in a desk.

And use that as your office for work from home.

Also, if you don't have a full blown area like that, just take a table or a desk or something anywhere and move it somewhere in your house.

So maybe it's just stuck in a corner somewhere in one of your rooms, wherever it is, just make it somewhere that is your work space.

That way, when you enter that area, your mind says Okay, this is where I work and when you leave that area, your mind says Okay, I'm done working because that's a thing that a lot of people struggle with is they struggle the turnoff after they're done working, because when you work at home and you also enjoy leisure activities at home, it blurs the line between work and leisure, and you don't know when to stop working and when to start relaxing.

This is another problem with working in your living room, you may get into the mindset of Okay, This is where I work now, so you're really productive in that area.

But then, when it comes time to relax and watch some Netflix and enjoy the time you realize that your mind is constantly thinking of work because you've associated your living room with work when your reality you're living room should be associated with relax station.

So having that stark separation between work and enjoyment and making sure that you have two different areas that you do one activity versus the other is incredibly important.

So now we've talked a bit about how you can set up your mindset and your environment to be successful and productive, and you may realize you just sit down and you start cranking through things hour after hour after hour, and before you know it, you realize you just sat down for 567 hours straight.

And while yes, this is good being productive, it's bad because it really kind of hurt your mental state and causes you to get into the super work mode when, in reality, working remotely you need to make sure that you take breaks because when you're in the office and you're working, people are gonna walk by, People are going to talk to you.

People are going to interrupt you and those air nice frequent breaks, which you may not appreciate them when you're in the office.

But really, what they do is they helped break up your mind and give you a little bit of a break, a little bit of time to communicate with others.

A lot of times you may eat lunch with a group of people at work, so that gives you a nice amount of time to relax and let your brain reboot.

Well, when you're working from home, you have limited distractions, especially if you set yourself up in a good environment, which means that you can be really, really productive.

But you don't have any of those brakes built into your environment into your workplace.

You need to set your own breaks, so I highly recommend that if you're working from home, you take some time every couple hours, every hour, whatever it is and just get up and walk around your house.

At the very least, just walk around a little bit.

Get a glass of water, whatever it is, and just take a small break five minutes just so you have timeto walk around, air yourself out, clear out your mind and then get back to work.

And I also highly recommend if you're eating lunch, do not eat lunch where you work.

Most of the time, it's really tempting just to go grab some lunch from your kitchen, bring it back to where you're working and eat lunch while working.

You need time to recoup your thoughts in your brain so you need to eat lunch somewhere else.

Eat lunch in your kitchen, eat lunch with your family.

That gives you that break that you normally get a lot of times of eating lunch with other people when you're at work.

Also, a great break, which I highly recommend, is going for a walk around your neighborhood or whatever it is.

If you have the ability to just going for a short walk, especially out in fresh air is a great way to really just revitalize your mind and really get yourself going again, because just work, work, work, work, work really wears down your brain, and it makes you less productive overall.

Also in a similar vein of communicating with people in having interruptions throughout your day, you'll notice when you work from home, you have very little communication with your co workers unless you go out of your way to make that communication.

You may have some written communication on something like slack or email, but that's really not very good communication.

Overall, it's very low level communication, and it doesn't feel very personal.

Doesn't feel like you're really talking to someone.

It feels more like you're talking to just a screen.

So I highly recommend if you're used to that normal communication in work that you set up time throughout your day to just have some video chats with people that you work with.

Maybe over lunch you and a few other people you normally work with just hop on a video chat, eat lunch together and talk as if you were in the office that's going to give you that mental stimulation that you need from other people and that social aspect of your work environment that you lack severely when you work from home.

So just setting up video calls, whether it's during lunch, whether it's just randomly during the day to just talk, it's not gonna necessarily be work related.

You just need to talk to someone tohave that social environment.

Not everyone needs this extra social level, but I know a lot of people really struggle working from home because they lack that social being.

So just set up some video calls with your co workers with your friends, with whoever to make sure you have that good social interaction throughout your day.

So far, we've talked about your mindset and environment.

We've talked about communication and co workers, and the last thing I want to talk about his boundaries when you work from home.

As I've mentioned before, it's really hard to set your boundaries between work and leisure.

Where do you relax and where do you work?

The line starts to get blurry because you're working in the same place generally as where you're relaxing, so you need to have some way to set boundaries and one of the best boundaries that I think you need to set is a boundary related toe.

When you work, make sure you set a boundary ST.

I do not start work until this time, and I do not work after this time.

So you give yourself set working hours because while you're in the office and you're working along, you'll notice people slowly leaving throughout the day going home.

And that kind of gives you those mental cues saying, Okay, it's my turn to go home as well.

So you get up and leave and grab your stuff and go around that normal time Everyone else leaves, but when you work from home, you don't have those mental cues.

You're just working along 5678 o'clock and nothing ever tells you you need to go home, so you need to set your own boundaries.

Saint, I am not going to work after this set time, whatever time that is, you said it yourself.
