The work at home job force is rapidly expanding. Every day, office dwellers are kissing the dreaded commute to the workplace goodbye.
One of the greatest perceived perks for working from home is eliminating your commute.
When you work at home, you are supposed to be free of distractions like noisy coworkers and people who demand your attention. But as many remote workers have found, there are still plenty of distractions waiting for you when you work at home.
So, if you are interested in working from home and need the final push, this guide is for you.
Setup your office:
I can’t stress enough the importance of having the right office setup when you work at home. It will make you more productive. When having a video call with your boss, you will look more professional behind a proper desk rather than resting on a couch.
Your home office should be set up at a quiet corner. A soundproof room with a door would be ideal for this.
Invest in a proper desk, a comfortable chair, a stable internet connection, accessories like a noise-cancelling headset, software like Skype, Slack etc.
Don’t Go Invisible:
Whether you are working with a team or a single client / boss, it is very important to maintain an active communication loop. Don’t go invisible.
Let’s say you are communicating with your team via Skype. Leave a “Good Morning” to the group chat when you start you day. Always set an away message, like “Gone for Lunch”, “BRB in 5” etc.
Having a small talk with an online colleague will be refreshing for both of you. However, you need to be careful in this because as the other person is not visible, you’re not sure if she is busy with work.
Setup the Best Practices:
Whether you are working alone or with a team, it is essential to setup best practices for communication and workflow management. The objectives and goals should clear from the first day. This will save you from potential frustrations and keep you, and the team, motivated and focused on the goals.
Getting started with work at home can be quite an adjustment. However, once you get it right, there’s no turning back.
As always below you will find a few reliable opportunities to review.
