Like Most Work Places Me and my team are sticking to Video Calls to stay connected as per daily schedules to resolve immediate challenges & build our responses to emerging situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are ways to deliver results and avoid going stir-crazy, from setting up a good workspace to the way you talk to your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

Crank up the communication<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Coronavirus or not, the key to working from home is clear communication with your TEAMS\u2013 and knowing exactly what\u2019s expected from them for the Day .\u201cHave really clear-set expectations for communications day to day,\u201d “Ask [Team] if they don\u2019t mind having a 10-minute call to kick off the day and wrap up the day.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Treat it like a real job<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are also some timeless WFH tips to call upon. For example, just because you can lounge around in your pajamas or Bermudas doesn\u2019t mean you actually should. “Take a shower and get dressed. Treat it like a real job.”<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a home office, do as much as you can to create an ad hoc, bespoke space exclusively for work. \u201cNot having a well-equipped home office space can cause a temporary decrease in productivity,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Create boundaries within your home that your family members understand: \u2018When the door is closed, pretend I\u2019m not there.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

With a dedicated workspace where you can concentrate, it becomes easier to unlock the benefits of remote work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of working from home are like fewer interruptions from colleagues, minimal office politics and reduced stress from commuting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its good to do some bit of Yoga, exercise , meditation to keep the fitness levels and Spirits High.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Regular Breaks :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Give yourself adequate time during the day to walk away from the computer screen and phone. A lunch hour and two 15-minute breaks Should be taken.<\/span><\/p>\n

& Lastly Have fun with your colleagues<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a mantra of never taking yourself too seriously. Just like in a real office environment, joke around, make fun of each other, make stupid GIFs of each other, share thoughts , old vacation photos, do competitions, etc. It makes it easy for us to still have fun and have connected with your colleagues and peers!!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
