I: Introduction

I should start with an example. Explain how to work from home productively. It is known that working at home may cause you to lose focus, not find time for other things or even lead to isolation. However, it is possible to work at home productively. I will give some tips to make it easier.

A: If you manage people or show leadership

First of all, you need to make sure you are not isolated. You can do it through networking or creating a social circle. If you will be home alone, it may be beneficial to get a dog or cat, but if you are allergic to them, perhaps there is something else that would attract people to your house. For example, you can get a pool or build a sauna. You can also invite people for party or organize different events.

Secondly, it is important that you keep your schedule and meet deadlines. When we talk about work from home we mean working from home and real deadlines – not the ones we give ourselves – but someone else’s deadlines. So, set up a schedule and make sure you don’t miss anything and always know what the plan is.

The last thing I want to mention is productivity. Firstly, it is important to keep away distractions such as checking emails too often, social media etc. Secondly, try to avoid multitasking. It is better to focus on one thing at a time.
