Stick to your schedule!
It's early in the morning, Saturday Jan 15th and I'm up, had my
tea and busy at what I do. ..check emails and tickets created
the night before. I have a routine I've been using the past
number of years that I try my best to stick to, even on the
weekends. Especially the weekends. Weekends can be very busy for
me, since my girls are usually home with me from school, unless
they're invited to a sleep over. Having them at home can be very
distracting so I try my best to get up before they do and get
most of my important work done. Do you have a weekend routine or
plan?
With a plan or routine, you'll find that you get things done
smoothly and your workload will not be as heavy. It took me
several months to come up with a plan that works well for me and
all that I have to do. At first it will be a trial and error
period finding a routine that will work best for you. I found
that by doing the task I dreaded most first worked best for me.
I'm very energetic in the morning, so I use that energy to
answer all my emails and request for help from our ticket
system. This not only allows me to use my morning energy to
complete the hardest part of my job, it allows me to free up the
rest of the day to cruise along doing other things that's on my
to-do list..... including hitting the closest Starbucks for a
tall low foam latte :)
All the best with your work from home career! regards
