Mukraj-Insights "Work From Home" Rules
1. Make a sacred space
Create a dedicated workspace where you won't get distracted by the rest of your life, away from your DVD collection or where your kids watch TV. Turn it into a sanctuary full of plants, artworks or whatever you need to make it somewhere you like spending time, even if it is just a corner of a room. And remember, almost nobody (apart from Winston Churchill) ever worked efficiently lying in bed.
2. Go on a digital diet
Employers fear you will spend all day surfing and tweeting, so prove them wrong. Ration your time online, for instance only checking email once every two hours. Even better, use a program such as Freedom internet blocker, which turns off web access for a specified period.
3. Schedule your day
With nobody looking over your shoulder, you need to set clear daily goals, otherwise, you may fritter your time away. At the end of each day, make a list of what you plan to do the next, and have it waiting on your desk for when you sit down in the morning.
4. Arrange some human contact
Most people go crazy spending all day alone. So give yourself a daily dose of human interaction, which you can think of as a reward for knuckling down to work. Have lunch with a friend, or phone your favorite relative for a mid-morning break. Recharge yourself with conversation.
5. Use the flexibility
Ask yourself this question: where and when do I do my best thinking and working? Some people do their best problem-solving while out running at dawn, or think best surrounded by the white noise of a cafe. So do what really works for you, using the gift of flexible working to your - and your employer's - advantage.
