00:33It's easy to get distracted at home, whether it's the TV,
00:36your phone, or just the comfort of your surroundings.
00:39To combat this, set up your workspace in the quietest part of your home,
00:43away from high-traffic areas.
00:45A do-not-disturb sign on your office door can help others in your home know when you need to focus.
00:50Keep your desk clean and free of clutter.
00:52If you find that standing helps you concentrate better, consider getting a standing desk,
00:56or improvise by placing your laptop on a shelf or cabinet.
01:002. Stick to a routine, try to start work at the same time each day,
01:04even if you push your start time a little later to align with when you feel most energetic.
01:08Dressing for the day, even if you're just at home, can help put you in the right mindset for work.
01:13This also ensures you're ready for any surprise video calls.

01:18it's especially important to keep up with it during busy periods.
01:22Schedule regular breaks and a proper lunch break to give your mind a reset.

01:39Use apps like RescuerTime or SelfControl to block distracting websites and keep you focused.
01:44Calendar apps on your phone or computer are great for setting reminders about meetings and deadlines,
01:48set alarms so you have plenty of time to prepare for each task.
01:524. Stay connected, working remotely doesn't mean you have to feel isolated.
01:56Make an effort to stay in touch with your co-workers and manager through
01:59regular check-ins via calls, video meetings, or even quick text messages.
