Here are tips that will help you maintain your productivity and adjust your work life during this crazy pandemic.
Wake up, shower, eat breakfast, drink coffee, and change out of your pajamas!
I find that the longer I stay in my pajamas the less likely any work will get done.
Even go so far as to put on slacks and a dress shirt, if thats your game.
Big misconception is that we sit around in PJs.
We dont and its better for your mental health not to.r/ireland
Getting dressed is a HUGE thing.
I get into my work yoga pants, washed face.. sometimes make up, hair done brushed.
GET OUT OF THEM PJS!!!!
You dont want to feel frumpy and lazy.
For me personally it is in the mornings.
Working remotely means that there are no cues to tell us that work is done for the day.
So pay very careful attention to this.

Keep a to-do list
Keep a list of things to do.
It is the fast track to burnout city.sysopsbkms
Take your breaks.
Dont be a martyr.
Youre still working, you need time away from work.
You dont have that anymore.
Make it feel distinctly different than the rest of your home.
Dont spend any your off-work time there.
Dont try and do work on your couch or on your bed because youll get distracted easier.
Check in with folks, chat, play a game, etc.
I did a virtual happy hour with some co-workers on Friday night.
For example, I love learning new software, or reading/watching YouTube videos on how to improve my skills.
It depends on what Im in the mood to do.
Youll go crazy otherwise.
I leave every day on my lunch for an hour, even if I just go drive aimlessly.
It gets me out, and away from my desk, which is really needed.

Treat yourself

Exercise, exercise, exercise
take a stab at get exercise in the morning.
Keep in contact with them as they are already probably your closest work friends.
By being far away you lose contact with the ebbs and flows of office personal/politics.

Dont let working from home dictate household work
I dont let WFH dictate my household work.
Meaning that yes, I could have loads of laundry going but I dont need to.
Its not a requirement.
I can still do those on the weekend.
Get the computer out of sight and do something else.
The ergonomic effects of sitting for long periods are bad enough that you dont need to make it worse.

Dont forget about hygiene
Dont forget to brush your teeth!
I personally do not get dressed up with makeup and such.
I dont wear my pajamas, though I did when I first started working at home.
I wear sweat pants and t-shirts/sweatshirts during the winter time and cropped yoga pants/t-shirts during the summer.
A shower in the morning definitely helps wake you up!
Get into the working mindset.

Limit your snacking
A designated space is key.
Tote laptop around the house with you as you do chores if you gotta be available.
Get dressed and make the bed as soon as you get up.
If you normally take an hr lunch to stretch you legs then go do it.
Take a quick walk around the block to decompress and reset your mind.

If things like stuff not tidied away, laundry not folded, food not cooked etc.
Also use them as opportunities to think over new material, ideas, courses of action etc.

I put my headphones on and get my head down to work.
I find Im way more productive at home hah at work as there are no distractions.
Sure I talk to co workers on the messaging apps on the work computer, but its just work.
definitely agree with everyone here saying to shut off your gear and reset after work as well.
