We love that work-from-home (WFH) is widely accepted and practiced. But… the comfort of your home can sometimes turn into a challenge to maintain focus and productivity. The constant allure of your cozy couch, the beckoning call of household chores, and the myriad distractions that home life brings can make staying focused a true art.

Is WFH Actually A Better Choice?

Well, it depends. Working from home (WFH) has both advantages and challenges. It offers many perks and immensely reduces a worker’s stress level. However, it can lead to isolation, distractions, and communication challenges. Some people thrive in home offices, while others prefer a traditional workplace structure and social interactions.

However, when listing pros and cons, WFH definitely has less of the latter. There are still inconveniences, but it’s way easier to deal with them.

8 Tips For Increasing Your Productivity When Working From Home

If you are one of those people who thrive in a home office, here are some ideas to improve our experience.

  1. Create a Dedicated Workspace

Designate a specific area in your home solely for work. Whether it’s a spare room, a cozy nook, or a corner of the living room, having a dedicated workspace helps signal to your brain that it’s time to focus. Ensure your workspace is well-organized and free from unnecessary distractions.

  1. Set Clear Boundaries

Establish clear boundaries with your family or housemates to minimize interruptions during work hours. Communicate your schedule and let them know when you need focused time. Of course, if your children demand attention, set up a couple of breaks to spend time with them and let them know when those breaks are scheduled so they can look forward to them.

  1. Use the Pomodoro Technique

Break your work into focused intervals with short breaks in between using the Pomodoro Technique. Work intensely for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break.

After completing four cycles, take a more extended break. This helps maintain high energy levels and prevents burnout.

  1. Prioritize Your Tasks

Start your day by creating a to-do list and prioritizing tasks. Tackling high-priority tasks first thing in the morning when your energy is at its peak can set a positive tone for the rest of the day. Break larger tasks into smaller, more manageable steps to stay motivated.

  1. Optimize Your Environment

Ensure your workspace is well-lit, comfortable, and free from unnecessary clutter. Natural light can boost mood and alertness, so position your desk near a window if possible. Some plants and an air humidifier would also be a good idea.

  1. Stay Hydrated and Nourished

Maintain your energy levels by staying hydrated and eating nutritious meals. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and reduced cognitive function, so keep a water bottle on your desk. Choose snacks that provide sustained energy, such as nuts, fruits, and yogurt.

  1. Take Movement Breaks

Incorporate short movement breaks throughout the day. Stretch, take a quick walk, or do a few simple exercises to break up long periods of sitting. Physical activity enhances blood flow to the brain, improving concentration and productivity.

Stand up, do a 5-min yoga workout, take 5 minutes with your clit vibrator (very active if you ask me), take a refreshing shower, eat a fun snack that you won’t (!) bring back to your desk, and then come back revitalized.

  1. Minimize Distractions

Silence the annoying notifications on your devices and consider using website blockers or apps that limit your access to distracting websites during work hours. This can help you maintain focus and resist the temptation to procrastinate.
