No email and social media during client work.
I’m very guilty of this. Watching youtube videos and scrolling through our FB and IG feeds can certainly take hours of our valuable time. So, I set a particular time to check my personal email and social media accounts.
Take advantage of the technology.
Many of the software applications are free and makes work at home professionals be more productive like Buffer and Hootsuite to schedule social media posts, Canva and Crello for anyone who needs to create the design but have limited creative skills.
Set a schedule.
When you have your work scheduled posted you can easily do things and what needs to get done. And work on your most productive time. If you do that, you’ll accomplished more.
Choose a workspace.
Choose a part of the house as your dedicated workspace to lessen distractions, so you only focus on your task.
Take a break.
Breaks in between work to recharge can boost one’s performance and energy. Meditation, stretching and taking a nap are some of the things or actions that you can do on your short break.
