Many people feel a new experience when they switch to remote mode. It seems like complete freedom and almost heaven on earth at last. No need to waste time traveling, you can work from bed and stay comfortable.

But everything may not be as rosy as it seems. There are many more distractions: your favorite TV show, book, sleep, constant conversations with your family. Resisting temptations is a challenge.

We have collected the simplest and most effective ways to help you focus and stay productive:

– Create a task plan. The to-do list will help you move from one goal to another and motivate you to complete the entire plan so that you can finally treat yourself to a vacation.

– Create a comfortable workplace for yourself. Put away distractions and try to keep things tidy. This will give you more inspiration to work productively.

– Take breaks. Everyone in the office had rituals: drinking coffee in the morning, talking to a colleague about life, taking a break for a meal. A short rest can recharge you. If it is difficult to keep track of breaks on your own, try working with a timer. This way, you won't let yourself get tired.

– Stick to the schedule. At first it seems that remote work means working whenever I want. But in reality, I work from morning till night. Do not exhaust your body with workaholism. Your brain will just get tired, and it will take much longer to recover.

– Don't forget about the weekend. The whole world is gradually switching to remote mode, but Saturday and Sunday remain relevant. Take a day off when you can postpone work until tomorrow. Don't forget to write them down in your planner and recover calmly. Your body will thank you and be more productive from the new work week.
