The whole country is stuck at home and supposed to be “working remotely”. While some people are continuing life and business as usual, others are struggling to be productive at home. As someone who works from home, here are some of my tips for staying productive.
CREATE A SCHEDULE THE NIGHT BEFORE: I usually do this in the “notes” app on my phone. Creating a schedule or check list makes me feel good to know that I have tasks that need to be completed the next day.
GET DRESSED: Whether that means showering or just getting dressed in something other than your pajamas, I would count that as a win right now!
GET SOME FRESH AIR: Because the whole family is home together, I have been working out in the middle of the day and using that time as my “break” from working. Go for an early morning run before the kids get up or go outside as a family mid day.
MASTER A NEW SKILL: Look into learning a new skill that has always interested you. You Tube and SKILLSHARE offers courses and tutorials. This is on my list of “to dos” this week and I’m interested in learning more about Photoshop and photography!
MAKE THAT RECIPE: If you are anything like me, I am sure you have a number of cook books and Pinterest recipes pinned that have never been put to use. Take a break from work and make something delicious! Here is my Pinterest board with MY FAVORITE RECIPES!
ORGANIZE: Organizing a closet, pantry or book shelf can be daunting but the finished result is such a relief and a personal achievement! I already tackled my office and my closet is next on the list!
