1.Set up a workspace (preferably a separate room, not the kitchen bench!) – it’s important to be in the zone as well as keeping potentially sensitive information safe
2. Plan out your week and then more specifically your day – distractions at home can really get in the way of work, but if your day is planned with specific tasks outline, its easier to stay on task (than do a load of washing).
3. Get into your to do list early, you don’t have a commute so get that work done so that you can get into life after work hours.
4. Have regular breaks. Do a lap around the block or go and hang out the washing that you put on before breakfast. It breaks up the day and gets a few steps in!
5. Set up some boundaries around social media. Delete the apps on your phone and turn off alerts to keep yourself on task.
6. Select a playlist that gets you in the zone for the sort of work youre doing, or put on the noise cancelling headphones for some quiet bliss.
