Zainab and Sarah share their Top Tips for Working from Home
From small companies to large conglomerates, the majority of offices around the world are now social distancing. Workers now find themselves attempting to find a space in their home where they can comfortably and pro-actively adjust to their newfound routine.
At POP Comms, we have found some small solutions that have greatly helped our young team of POPstars to stay focused and remain on track while we are working from home!
Make your own dedicated office space!
This is your opportunity to create your instagrammable home office space! There are so many online retailers ready to deliver to your doors! (Shout out to POP Client: KARE ;)). Investing in a comfortable office chair or a new desktop lamp could be all you need to give your office ‘area’ a reboot!
Who doesn’t love a to-do list?
Start your day with a list – map out what you need to do and plan in your lunch breaks, your stretch your legs breaks and your conference calls. Doing this will give you a solid plan to stick to as well as help you to find the balance between work life and home life.
Stay Active, Stay Healthy!
An inactive body can lead to an inactive mind. If you’re on a work call or have the chance to take a minute away from your screen, just walk around the table, have a stretch and shake off any lack of focus before you begin your next task. Especially while we are all being encouraged to stay at home, it’s so important to keep moving and stay active.
Set boundaries with those you live with!
Interruptions in the office environment are entirely different to those at home. Whether it is a family member or your housemate, make sure you set some key ground rules for distraction. If you work the same hours, why not plan your to-do lists together and schedule breaks at similar times, this way you can keep each other on track!
Overcommunicate…
… and never go AWOL during work hours. You don’t have your colleagues sat next to you to remind you to read your group chat, or to notice the company email that just came through. Staying alert to your work phone and messages and communicating effectively with your team is one of the best ways that you can support your management and business during this global pandemic.
