If you have some important inputs that you would like to share then do let us know in the comment section.
Communication Is The Key During Work From Home
The major difference in working in an office and working from your home is communication. Make sure to communicate with each other on your internal chat systems. Discuss your daily tasks, strategies, and brainstorming. If you don’t have an internal chat system then we would suggest that you get one soon. Online chat portals play a significant role when working from home.
Make Sure You Fully Understand Your Daily Tasks
Oftentimes the message is not fully understood over chat. Make sure that you double-check and fully understand the specifications of your task. Also, chat with your manager about their requirements and don’t shy away from asking the questions that need to be asked.
Even when you think that you have understood the directions given over chat try and ask more questions just to gain more clarity. At times you might not be able to finish the task within the given time frame. Do let your superiors know that you will need some more time.
Try Not To Spend A lot Of Time On Chat
While you are working from home you will spend a lot of time chatting and discussing the tasks. So it is important to manage your time wisely and dedicate certain hours only to the task at hand. Do let your teammates know that you won’t be available at certain times and even disable notifications if necessary. Sometimes it’s better to just think on your own without any outside interference.
Chat With Your Teammates As You Would In The office
Chat with your teammates as you would normally in your office. Even suggesting activities that they can participate in to motivate them. Try and use emojis for a change in order to express yourself. Get together while having your coffee or lunch using Zoom or Google hangout as you would in the office. It is important to be in the same frame of mind while you are working from home as you would be in your office.
Take Care Of Your Health By Exercising Regularly
Make sure you take your regular breaks on time and sometimes have a look outside your window or balcony. Exercise regularly and maintain your daily regimen. It is important to stay focused and stay healthy. Try not to watch the news a lot, too much information about the outbreak can also be a bit demotivating and can be counterproductive.
Stay In Touch With Your Family And Friends
Try to maintain social distance and only step outside when necessary. But that does not mean you can’t take a walk in the park or step out in your balcony for a cup of coffee. Stay in touch with your family and friends and talk to them whenever you can.
Working from home is the need of the hour, however soon we will all be outside back to our daily schedules as normal. Until then make sure to stay safe and meet your targets. We hope that this article will help you in your efforts in working from home.
