Like the lime green waistcoat I really thought I wanted when I was 14 but then never ended up wearing, working from home has not been as good as I imagined it would be. Oh, don\u2019t get me wrong. It has its perks. But my will power is really being tested and occasionally wilting in this new environment. My cooking and watercolours, however, are the best they\u2019ve ever been. And my sock drawer is looking so gloriously neat it\u2019s a joke. Priorities, people.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we\u2019ve all come to learn over the past weeks, it\u2019s hard to stay focused on the couch. But there are tricks we can use to keep productive. The first one would probably be to get off the couch. With the right tips, tools and mindset you can make it work. We\u2019ve collected the best work-from-home hacks to help you make the most of your new environment. Good luck!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1<\/strong>. <strong>GET DRESSED<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone with a soft spot for the sweet joy of wearing pajamas all day, I know this is tricky. But the experts agree (and I hate to say this), but you need to put on clothes. \u2018Although a dress code may seem silly when you think about working from home, work clothes impact you on a business and personal level and can affect your career,\u2019 says workplace expert Mason Donovan. \u2018Getting dressed for the day can make you feel more determined to get your work done.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As my housemate, Pienaar used to say: \u2018Dress smart. Think smart.\u2019&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to go full business attire though. It just needs to be something one tier up from a nightgown that will send the right message to your brain. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>STAY AWAY FROM THE NEWS IN THE MORNING&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something that\u2019s particularly relevant in today\u2019s environment. Since the news has gone into hyperdrive, the usual pattern of waking up and looking at your phone straight away is likely to start your day off in a stressed state. If it\u2019s possible, try a new routine: put your phone on airplane mode before you go to bed, wake up and don\u2019t touch it until you\u2019ve showered, had coffee and, if possible, done some yoga or meditation. Only then, turn on your phone. And, if you have the will power, stay away from the news until lunch or even after work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>CREATE A COMFORTABLE WORKING SPACE&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Designing a place to work that promotes productivity is a key component of successfully working at home. If you can, try to find a place that has limited noise and is next to a window. Sunlight can help with productivity and lighten the mood. A comfortable chair is important too. Even if you live in a small apartment with other people, it\u2019s important to carve out a space of your own from which to work, even if it\u2019s at the end of your dining table, in a hallway or closet. Being able to walk away from your work station when you need a break or when the day ends will let you symbolically and mentally leave work behind, and pick up where you left off the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top work from home tip<\/strong>: Whatever you do, try not to work from bed or the couch. Those spaces should be reserved for relaxation. Your mind associates different environments with different things and if they get muddled it can mess with your sleep during the night and productivity during the day.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t care what new parody the Kiffness has brought out or what Schalk Bezuidenhout just shared, it can wait. Research confirms what we already know: frequent social media usage isn\u2019t helpful while trying to work. Several studies show that the human brain isn\u2019t very good at multitasking and it\u2019s even better at tricking itself into thinking it can. \u2018People can\u2019t multitask very well, and when people say they can, they\u2019re deluding themselves,\u2019 says neuroscientist Earl Miller. Unless your job involves staying connected to social media, try to schedule specific times to check your social media accounts. If not, you\u2019ll be constantly distracted whenever you receive a notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>SET SPECIFIC TIMES TO CHECK EMAIL&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Get your mind ready for the day by emptying your inbox first thing. This is like decluttering your brain. From then on, set specific times to check your email. This will help you focus more on each task at hand (rather than feeling scatterbrained from multitasking). Experts recommend checking your emails two or three times a day. If possible, try once before lunch and once more before finishing up your workday, that way it doesn\u2019t accidentally seep into your work time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t leave your messenger or email program open, because as soon as you see new messages coming in, you\u2019re going to want to check them. Turn off the push notifications and sounds on your computer and phone. All those little sounds and pop-ups may not seem like much of a distraction, but they are taking your attention away for a second and that\u2019s enough to lose focus.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>TAKE A PROPER LUNCH BREAK&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your brain needs short periods of rest. This prepares your brain so that it can regain focus and recharge. While we all want to imagine we\u2019re productivity machines that can run infinitely at the same level, the reality is that our productivity dips after a spell of intense concentration. Lunch is the time to walk away from your workspace and switch off for a while. It\u2019s also a good time to declutter your desk. I\u2019ll be honest, I\u2019ve been having three-hour lunch breaks that include naps. Which leads us to the next point\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.. <strong>KNOW WHEN YOU\u2019RE MOST PRODUCTIVE&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The secret to working from home is knowing the best time of day that <em>you<\/em> work. This will ensure that you\u2019re not only productive, but that you can do more quality work. Richard Branson, who works from home six months of the year, says staying flexible is a crucial part of maintaining productivity. \u2018Too many companies don\u2019t realise the monotony of a lot of people\u2019s day-to-day life at work,\u2019 he says. \u2018I try to encourage chief executives worldwide to make sure that there\u2019s as much flexibility in the workplace as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We now have more freedom, but also more responsibility. If you don\u2019t have back-to-back Zoom meetings, it\u2019s up to you to figure out the time of day when you\u2019re most awake, productive, and on your toes. We\u2019re in a unique position to get work done at random hours; embracing this can have a huge impact on productivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hack Fact: <\/strong>Nikola Tesla and Leonardo da Vinci both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/11-bizarre-sleeping-habits-of-highly-successful-people-2013-11?IR=T\">followed<\/a> the bizarre Uberman sleep schedule, taking six evenly spaced 20-minute naps throughout the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. <strong>TRY THE POMODORO METHOD&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the oldest productivity hacks for remote workers, the Pomodoro Method is a technique whereby you work with a laser-focus on an assignment for 25 straight minutes, no interruptions, then take a five-minute break to regroup and refocus. Knowing there\u2019s less than half an hour in a session means you\u2019re likely to give your best effort and the five-minute break allows you to refresh your mind before tackling the next thing. It\u2019s been scientifically proven to increase your output and you can even use the website <a href=\"https:\/\/tomato-timer.com\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Tomato-Timer.com<\/span><\/a> to keep track of your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. <strong>OR TRY THE 90-MINUTE WORK CYCLE&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers have also found that your brain cycles through 90-minute periods of extreme efficiency, known as ultradian cycles, when your mind is more attuned than ever. The cycle in which we dip in and out of them is called the ultradian rhythm. \u2018Employees who take a break every 90 minutes report a 30% higher level of focus than those who take no breaks or just one during the day. They also report a nearly 50% greater capacity to think creatively,\u2019 says Tony Schwartz, CEO of The Energy Project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the Pomodoro Method, set an alarm for 90 minutes and have a small break. During these breaks you can get up, stretch, refill your bottle of water, get some fresh air, eat a healthy snack and come back refreshed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. <strong>SET BOUNDARIES&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially relevant for those living in a busy house \u2013 either with kids, family members or flatmates around. A lot of experts have been championing the idea of a \u2018work hat\u2019 that signals to your family that you\u2019re working and shouldn\u2019t be disturbed. Or you can place a stuffed animal on your desk or doorknob that lets your kids know that you\u2019re \u2018at work\u2019 and should only be disturbed for emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Extra tip: <\/strong>Remember that boundaries should also apply to your free time. Don\u2019t get sucked back into answering work questions outside of your set working hours. Turn off all notifications and shut down messaging and email programs at the end of your workday, so you can actually designate work to working hours.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. <strong>USE A DIFFERENT BROWSER FOR WORK&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a safe space so I will admit it: I have a problem with YouTube. I get sucked into its vortex almost every day. Ok, about five times a day. What\u2019s helped with this and other distracting websites is using different browsers for work and for play. The work browser, for example Google Chrome, can have bookmarks, tabs, shortcuts and plugins related to your work. And your personal browser, for example Firefox, can have all the videos, websites and articles you like to look at during your free time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. <strong>WRITE A TO-DO LIST AT THE END OF THE DAY&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a popular trick for experienced freelancers as it helps to bring mental closure to the day and you can rest easy knowing that the day ahead is already planned. You can also start the next day efficiently and it gives you a sense of achievement as you tick them off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. <strong>THEN PHONE A FRIEND&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your day has come to a close, reward yourself with a quick phone call to a friend. This is something to look forward to at the end of the day and helps to stay in touch with your friends and family. It also acts as a good buffer between ending your workday and switching off. Think of it as your drive home. Instead of commuting, now you\u2019re communicating.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home office, you poisoned chalice you.
