One of the best ways to protect yourself from the coronavirus is by staying home with your family and secluding yourself from other people that could be carriers of the virus. Given this reason, most companies and agencies would now require their employees to work at home instead. That is to secure their people's safety and their company's productivity this pandemic.
Unfortunately, not all people are used to working at home. With all those distractions and factors that could hinder one's productivity and focus, what are the things one must remember that could help them boost their concentration and be able to get rid of their spirit of procrastination?
ALLOT A SPECIFIC AREA WHERE YOU CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY
Who could function at his best in a noisy, stressful, uncomfortable, and messy place? Given this reason, a stress-free, quiet, and de-cluttered working space is the first in our list.
So, make sure to prioritize looking for that perfect space. But don't fret if you are not able to find a separate room for your working area. A secluded space in your house can do well too.
BLOCK ANY OUTSIDE NOISE
Did you know that noise can distract your focus and affect your production negatively? Given this reason, it is best not to embrace the noises that come from the barking of your neighbors' dogs, the voices of your chatting loved ones, the televisions shows your kids are watching, or the loud music your siblings are playing.
Be more engaged in soft music instead, especially those that have soothing sounds such as ocean waves, raindrops, waterfalls, and rushing brook. These kinds of sounds don't just keep your brain calm and help you concentrate, but it could also help lower your blood pressure and heart rate, as explained by Psychology Today.
COMMUNICATION AMONG YOUR COLLEAGUES ARE IMPORTANT
When working at home, it is still important to work together with your group as a team. So go communicate with your team every time. If you are unsure of what to do, ask. If you have something to say, ping them. If you have some issues, message your ups. Never hesitate to communicate. Working alone is difficult. Doing it with the team could lift your burden big time, as advised by MSN.
DISCOURAGE DISTRACTION FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILIES
Distraction from families and friends is one of the main causes of unproductiveness while working at home during the quarantine. Alter this by notifying your loved ones of your working hours, which is the time when everyone should not interrupt you except for emergencies, and also the time when you can be free to communicate, connect, and jam with them again.
