Practice some time-tested work from home techniques, and you may find working from the house can be a surprisingly pleasant and productive experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"#theimportantofroutine\">Set up routines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#makesomespace\">Create a work space<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#tryblockscheduling\">Try block scheduling<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#separateadminworkfromdeepwork\">Separate &#8220;Deep&#8221; work from &#8220;Admin&#8221; work<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#haveashutdowntime\">Have a shutdown ritual<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You may even find that some of the tips you put into practice now will still be there for you when you return to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"theimportantofroutine\">The Important of Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When first embarking on your work from home journey, it\u2019s easy to miss the first hurdle: <strong>routine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of routine in work from home situations cannot be overstated. It is&nbsp;<em>the<\/em>&nbsp;make or break point of failure that trips up the novice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routines are not as simple as deciding when to work on what. Having a solid routine involves rituals and context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you decide to start working and then realize you\u2019re craving a coffee you have to stop work and make a coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, set up a ritual around work and coffee. If the smell of a hot cup of coffee, and the jolt of energy provided by the caffeine, gets you in a mood to work that\u2019s because coffee signals to your brain that it\u2019s time to get down to business. So, in this case, making the coffee is a ritual to encourage the habit that supports your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <em>your<\/em> brain, the signals may be different. Maybe turning your phone on silent or logging out of social media signals that it\u2019s time to get to work. No matter what the signal, setting up the right ritual to support your habit is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: there are <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/stayfocusd\/laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"browser extensions (opens in a new tab)\">browser extensions<\/a> that can limit your time on certain sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Cal Newport\u2019s classic productivity book, <em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Deep Work (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.calnewport.com\/books\/deep-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deep Work<\/a><\/em>, he suggests alternative scenarios for creating rituals and habits that may differ for different kinds of knowledge work. A novelist may enjoy the luxury of taking as many undisturbed hours as needed to complete a day\u2019s work. Conversely, a breaking news reporter will have to schedule moments of concentration in a more dynamic fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gTaJhjQHcf8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is, you have your own rhythms and rituals and habits. The key is to identify them and put them into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"makesomespace\">Make Some Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly as important as finding the rituals and habits that support your work, you\u2019ll find that preparing your environment for focus poses other challenges, but also valuable opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of you may have the luxury of a home office already installed. If not, you may need to create something on the fly. Here are a few tips to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Choose a spot with adequate sunlight.<\/strong> If you have to work in your basement, fine, but try to pick a spot near a window. If this is simply not an option, be sure to schedule regular breaks to absorb some sunlight. If you work a night shift, go ahead and skip to the next step.<\/li><li><strong>Don\u2019t work from your bed.<\/strong> It may be tempting to sit in your comfortable bed with a laptop and quilt keeping you warm and cozy. The reasoning behind this tip is all about associations. When you\u2019re involved in your work, your mind is an active state, firing off all kinds of neurons in all different directions. Your bed is the place where you sleep. So either you\u2019ll stop working and go to sleep. Or, worse, you won\u2019t be able to sleep as soundly because you\u2019ve associated your bed with work. This is a \u201cheads I win, tails you lose\u201d situation.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid choosing a heavily trafficked area of your home.<\/strong> For some, this might mean the living room, or a den near the kitchen. Try to choose a more secluded spot, if possible, where you can fully absorb yourself in your work.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tryblockscheduling\">Try Block Scheduling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many knowledge workers, slicing your day up into manageable chunks is difficult, but it\u2019s one of the best ways to make sure you are getting a bird\u2019s-eye view of your commitments and next actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Block scheduling (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.calnewport.com\/blog\/2013\/12\/21\/deep-habits-the-importance-of-planning-every-minute-of-your-work-day\/\" target=\"_blank\">Block scheduling<\/a> is a time management technique meant to give every minute of your day a job through the use of blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of your day, write down each hour you intend to work, in order. Block off each hour with a chosen task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to schedule breaks in the activity. Rookie mistake is to schedule every hour for a difficult task. Divide your energy into manageable chunks.  Schedule the most difficult tasks for the hours you are most alert. Schedule the more redundant, administrative tasks for the hours in which you\u2019re usually running low on energy. Some people have bursts of energy sprinkled throughout the day while others are most alert and able to focus during certain specific hours. But everybody begins to fade at some point over a standard 8-hour day. So plan accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be tempted to block this out in your digital calendar. That may work, but paper tends to work better because you can scratch out and shift your blocks around as your day changes. It\u2019s always possible you\u2019ll have to re-arrange things on the fly. But as you get better at this kind of scheduling, you tend to require fewer corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Block scheduling helps you get a better view of your daily commitments and provides a reliable context in which you can best accomplish your tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"separateadminworkfromdeepwork\">Separate Admin Work From Deep Work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, block scheduling helps you get a better idea of your daily constraints and a pathway to work through them. But how do you separate admin tasks from \u201cDeep\u201d tasks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will vary based on what kinds of work you do. But if you&#8217;re working from home, it\u2019s safe to assume you do knowledge work, which means you get paid to work from a seated position and probably use a computer. Nothing wrong with that. Whether you\u2019re a writer, or a coder, or a designer, you\u2019ve probably never divided your tasks by any specific context. Or maybe you have, but you had trouble sticking to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, <strong>context is key.<\/strong> Otherwise, how will you decide when it\u2019s time to concentrate on a difficult task, when to make phone calls, or when to check social media?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Deep work&#8221; time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good starting place is to look at your daily tasks and identify the ones that require unbroken concentration to get the best results. These are your \u201cdeep work\u201d tasks. This means shutting off the TV, or the phone, or otherwise eliminating every possible distraction you have control over and giving 100% focus to that single important task. No multi-tasking during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep concentration is difficult. It\u2019s even more difficult in an office. But simply put, it gets the best results. So now that you\u2019re working from home, you have the golden opportunity of using deep focus to your advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But start slowly, deep concentration is difficult. Try to slowly build up to a half hour, and then work your way up slowly&#8211;minute by concentrated minute. Don&#8217;t feel bad about starting slow. You&#8217;ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a short burst of focused intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;Admin&#8221; Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of your day should be dedicated to &#8220;admin&#8221; tasks, which are important nonetheless but don\u2019t require a nuclear level of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many knowledge work jobs require various administrative duties such as progress reports, data entry, etc. There are also admin tasks you do for yourself like updating and clarifying lists of tasks, making phone calls, scheduling meetings, or processing notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like you schedule your deep time, schedule your admin time as well. All of your work is important, but different tasks are best accomplished with the right context and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"haveashutdowntime\">Have A Shutdown Ritual<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, at the end of your day, it\u2019s time to transition back into home life. Working from home is all about balance. You don\u2019t want home bleeding into work and you don\u2019t work spilling over into home. But since you\u2019re in your home it can be difficult to separate when work begins and ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why it\u2019s important to have a shutdown ritual. The shutdown ritual is just as important as your work rituals. A shutdown ritual allows you to close any open loops, defer tasks you weren\u2019t able to complete, and basically get clear with your outstanding commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be creative. Your shutdown ritual can be fun. It\u2019s like putting a bookmark in your work day so you can resume tomorrow feeling refreshed with all your mental energy restored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Making the transition from office life to remote life can be very difficult at first.
