224 // 7 Productivity Tips for Working From Home

<p>Hello and welcome to episode 224 of The Mindful Kind podcast. </p> <p>Since I've been working from home for the majority of the last 2 years, I thought I'd share some effective productivity tips to help you stay on track (and still have plenty of time to relax!). </p> <p>Tip 1: Start working at the same time each day after finishing your morning routine</p> <p>Tip 2: Minimise distractions (like music and the tv) </p> <p>Tip 3: When motivation disappears, take three deep breaths and persevere for 10 minutes. If this doesn't help, move on to Tip 4</p> <p>Tip 4: Have a list of important things to do (other than work). When you get really stuck on work tasks, do something from the list and then return to your work </p> <p>Tip 5: Complete at least three work tasks each day (even if they're just small tasks. I use Trello for time management and I learned some great strategies from Matt East's book, <a href= "https://www.matt-east.com/the-purposeful-planning-method-free-download"> The Purposeful Planning Method</a> </p> <p>Tip 6: Take regular mindful breaks</p> <p>Tip 7: Be self-compassionate, give yourself time to adjust, and reward yourself for your efforts</p> <p>If you would like more support and guidance, be sure to check out one-on-one coaching with me at <a href= "rachaelkable.com/mindfulnesscoaching">rachaelkable.com/mindfulnesscoaching</a>. </p> <p>Thank you so much for listening and take care, Mindful Kind. </p>
