Sometimes you can't care for people's feelings.

my tiny workspace

Due to the global health crisis at the moment, some companies have allowed their employees to work from home. Most of my work can be done anywhere as long as there's good internet and phone connection. 

I have been working from home for the last 4 weeks now and here are a few tips I use to have a productive work day from home:

1. I have a clean and quiet space to work
2. make sure your laptop has a virus protection
3. make sure you have a good internet connection
4. set an alarm. For me, I set my alarm at the exact time I would of have woken up to go to the office.
5. I get ready for the day. I get ready for the day as if i'm going to the office but without wearing my jewelry or make up. For some reason It helps get me into work mental state.
6. I have breakfast. I usually make my coffee and eat fruits.
7. I start my day and WORK
8. After working for 5-6 hours, I take a break. I usually do something that is non work related. Either I go eat lunch and walk around the house at this time or take a bathroom break. Also, I set an alarm to remind me to go back to work
9. WORK for 2-3 more hours
10. Once work is done, I put my work laptop away and leave my workspace. I like to separate my workspace/work life from my personal space life.
