Ah, it is tough for sure. My biggest challenge there is socialisation and honestly, i haven't found a solution for that.

@vaibhavdwivedi Socializing while working from home can be really tough. Maybe try scheduling regular virtual check-ins with colleagues or setting aside time to chat with friends during breaks. It can help you feel more connected and make working from home less isolating.
Its all about good environment around you i think. When you have good surroundings, then everything will be ok, and the work will go smoothly. I have recently contacted HVAC Contractor in Innisfil, ON and they installed me good HVAC, so i know what i say. It is important to work at ease you know

I try to plan my day in advance
Checklists help
Sometimes I use the Tomato Principle
Only planning and todo lists on a daily basis. Everything must be strictly scheduled. It makes me very productive during the working hours.
Oh, and no Instagram doomscrolling ;)
@natalie_ermishina Got it! These definitely help maintain focus.
To stay productive while working from home, I establish a routine that mimics a regular workday, set up a dedicated workspace, and minimize distractions. I also use tools to manage my tasks and take short breaks to stay refreshed. How about you? What strategies do you use?
I like to start early when I am working from home. This allows me to be more productive and I don't get lazy while working :D
@alviani_nuragnia That's good too.
I’ve learned that creating a to-do list each day keeps me on track. It helps me stay organized and focused on what needs to be done.
I use a mix of time-blocking and the Pomodoro Technique. It helps me break down tasks into manageable chunks and take regular breaks to stay refreshed and productive.
I’ve found that setting clear goals for each work session helps me stay motivated and focused throughout the day.
Proper workspace, away from
all the distractions.
I start each day by setting clear goals and priorities. It helps me stay focused on what need to be accomplished.
I try to avoid multitasking by focusing on one task at a time. It’s easy to get distracted at home, so I make sure to tackle one project before moving on to the next.
I try to limit distractions by turning off non-essential notifications on my phone and computer. It really helps me concentrate on my tasks.
I use the Pomodoro technique to brake my work into manageable chunks with regulars breaks it help me sty focused nd void burnout
@tywin_del Great tips. It’s great for maintaining focus and preventing burnout.
I use a dedicated workspace and stick to a set schedule.
Don't work on your bed, dedicate one particular area/desk only for working, even if you want to take a break don't do it there, go outside but once you are on your desk do nothin but work, this unconsciously sets the cues present into formation of a habit i.e. whenever you'll be at the table your brain will start working and productivity won't be disrupped.
@divya_ladha Great tips. Having a dedicated workspace really does help set the right mindset for productivity :)
Having my personal space, and using the Pomodoro technic.
A mixture of things: 1) A dedicated workspace 2) Dedicated Time for work + Time blocking app (my fave is @sunsamahq) 3) Music 4) Communication with other family members about my work hours.
@videofusionio Sounds really effective!
