Maintain a regular schedule
Setting a schedule provides structure to the day. Whether you just started working at home or you’ve been doing it for months or years. It helps you set realistic expectations on how you can achieve your goal. If you have to work overtime having a schedule lets you see where you can give yourself a break.

Set clear boundaries
When you’re working from home you can get into a set routine and blend work life with home life. To avoid that you need to make boundaries.

Let your family and friends know your hours and treat it like a business.

Take regular breaks
It may seem like the easiest thing to do is work none stop, but breaks are needed to remain healthy. Try to work for best around 52 minutes and then take a 15 – 20-minute break. Give yourself time to relax and focus on different things and then go back to work.

Use a Planner

In addition to making a schedule, get into using a calendar or planner. It’s a perfect way to keep your deadlines, appointments, and meetings on track. You can get a physical planner or use the calendar from your phone. By having everything organized you’ll be able to get all your work done one at a time.

Invest in Quality Technology

Invest in a nice laptop or desktop. Make sure you have a high-performance router to handle all your business work and bypass any network issues. Get an external hard drive depending on the nature of your work to store all your documents so your hard drive doesn’t crash.
