Work from Home Advice and Tips Amidst the Coronavirus Outbreak
March 19, 2020
The coronavirus pandemic has been sweeping across the world, and the country, at an alarming rate. As a result, advice from the government and Public Health England has been to put into action work from home processes for all businesses that can immediately and until further notice. Self-isolating and work from home topics have been trending for days in the UK as a result, as everybody begins to find their feet. Here’s our best advice for surviving the work from home lifestyle amidst the coronavirus outbreak.
Designated Workspace
The first part is fun – create a designated workspace! Keep aside room to work over the coming weeks and set up a desk, even if it’s makeshift. Separating your workspace can help maintain a work-life balance and keep you distraction-free.
Dress up
We know that it might be tempting to roll out of bed and get straight to it but days of living in pyjamas will take its toll! We recommend sticking to your regular morning routine where possible and that means dressing and showing up for yourself! (Though technically Skype calls will only show your top half, so we guess sweatpants aren’t completely off the table!)
Workplace Essentials
Not having what you need to hand will inevitably lead you down the rabbit hole of procrastination when working from home so be sure you have all that you need before you begin your workday. That includes stationery, your phone and of course coffee!
