How to stay Productive at Home?

 


  Staying focused at work is not easy. All of us get distracted or feel uninspired at some point during work. Especially for employees who have remote work arrangements, it can be challenging to stay productive when juggling the demands of a daily job with family and home concerns. Nowadays, the pandemic Covid-19 made all people stay and work at home in 2020. Not only for employees but also for students that have to keep productive at home. So how can we boost our productivity? Well, here are some of the ways to stay productive even at home. 

  Makes a plan ahead or to-do lists. Whatever you use for making a plan or list, make sure you keep a simple list every day and give yourself a realistic set of tasks to get through. If you have a relatively small number of tasks, typically less than 20, one list should do fine. If you want to achieve your goals and objectives, and make the most of your life, you need to be able to stay productive throughout the day. To do that, take the right action at the right time from your own plan or to-do lists. 

  Time management. Time management is key, it takes a high level of discipline to have good habits to effectively manage your time, especially while in an environment you are not used to working in. Working remotely can often be distracting, it is important to learn ways to manage your time and stay on track. For example, at first, you could delegate tasks when needed, then take regular breaks, start early in the day, avoid multitasking when possible, and finally set clear deadlines.

  Create and maintain a morning routine. It is similar to keeping regular hours, developing a morning routine can help you to have a more productive workday. Creating a plan for your morning that your repeat each day can have positive effects on your work life and your mindset. Many successful people attribute their personal and financial success to a morning of strict habits. Now it's your turn to start. 

  Don't stop socialising. Socialising is just as important when working remotely as it is in the traditional workplace. Disconnection and loneliness can be bad things for your mental health. Working from home doesn't mean you can't stay connected to friends or co-workers. Use Zoom, Google meet, or whatever program you prefer to communicate. Technology is everything nowadays. 

  Working from home certainly comes with huge challenges. But establishing a schedule, setting clear expectations with your love can help to ease the burden. Stay productive even at home no matter what happened outside there. Thank you for your time and hopefully you are learning something new today. Have a nice day 😀.

About Phubbing

    In the Digital Era, smartphones have become the number one priority in society. When it comes to our smartphones, nothing else in our lives gets as much attention. A single notification can branch to half days only checking the status or short videos on social media. If we lose it, the stress starts to build up rapidly. Getting by without a smartphone really is not possible anymore, and from that other areas of our lives are bound to be affected.   Phubbing describes the act of "phone-snubbing". It is a term that most people might not be familiar with, but the action is certainly one we all recognise. If we are going outside let's say, how often have we been physically in the presence of someone, but they're emotionally "not there" because they are absorbed in their smartphone? Quite a lot, isn't it?   Smartphones and text messaging help partners display love and affection to each other when they are physically apart. However, what happens when smart...

The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...
