Whether you’re new to the virtual office game or you’re a seasoned remote worker looking for tips and tricks on how to win the work from home set up, the Access Offshoring Team Members have put together a survival guide that they have personally tested and found effective!
Create a workspace that inspires you Bring in anything that sparks joy!
Personalize your workspace with plants, dream boards, photos of your pets or your kid’s artwork – anything that inspires you and makes the space really your own.
Establish a routine
AO CEO Tiffany always says “Consistency breeds success,” and we couldn’t agree more. Start your day with a morning routine – an exercise or a healthy breakfast. End your afternoon with a wind-down activity to transition from work to personal time.
Dress for the part
Changing out of sleepwear and preparing as if you’re going to an actual office can signal to your brain that it’s time to work. Opt for comfortable yet professional clothing that puts you in the right mindset.
Set boundaries to minimize distractions
Discuss with family members or housemates your work schedule and ask if they could maintain a quiet environment during this period. Invest in noise-canceling headphones and avoid using your personal social media during work hours.
Spend a minute for gratefulness
Allot a minute in your work routine for practicing gratitude. Work from home is a privilege. Appreciate the flexibility, autonomy and work-life balance that comes with it. When you can, be generous with words of affirmation and express gratitude to your colleagues.
Filipinos are known for being resilient and creative in facing challenges whether in work or personal life. Embrace these qualities, and you’ll undoubtedly win this work-from-home set up. Cheers to you, remote work superstar!
