1  How to effectively telecommute

1.1  Comfortable office environment

Set aside an area at home for work , Choose a quiet 、 There's plenty of light 、 A comfortable and spacious place .

• A quiet study

Not everyone has a designated home office , So provide a privacy for work 、 Quiet space is essential . If possible , Please separate the work area from other spaces .

Like working from home , If it's with family , To minimize interference , You can choose to communicate with them , Now this time point is working time , There needs to be a quiet environment ; If you rent with your roommate , Try to put a table or small table board that can work effectively in your bedroom , To provide a quiet environment .

• A simple desk

“ There is a reason why the office looks boring . This is because everything is standardized , To follow ergonomic recommendations .”

Unlike companies , There are special office desks and chairs . But many people may not have a comfortable table , So you need to choose a table with the right height , And clean your desk in time ： The computer 、 mouse 、 Monitor 、 pen 、 Meeting minutes, etc .

A simple desk allows us to focus more on our work .

• A stable network

I believe many people are facing this situation ： The online conference is open “XX, are you there ”, Then there was a moment of silence .

Since online office requires video conference , Voice communication , We need a stable network , Otherwise, it is always easy to face the above embarrassment . Try to choose stronger penetration 、 The signal is better 、 Faster  WIFI  Router ; For desktop computers , You can choose to connect Ethernet interface directly with network cable , Or a better signal  WIFI  Receiver .

Some companies need special Networks , So for the company level , You need to provide a connection to the intranet  VPN、 Or through remote access to the company's computer to solve the problem of Intranet Office .

Last , Please be sure to avoid being in a place where you usually relax or rest , Such as sofa and bed , Because you only want to sleep in such a place .

1.2  Detailed work plan

An unsupervised work environment can easily distract , So we need to make an effective work plan ：

Task list

+

Time schedule

. This plan can arrange your tasks according to priority and fixed schedule . For example, make the following work list ：

such as ： Eat a healthy breakfast before starting work , And make sure to take a lunch break every day .

• Make a list of your work tasks , Then set your own schedule for this list . Make a regular schedule around our plan , Ensure a balance between life and work , Eat at a fixed time 、 rest .

Arrange a day like in an office , You can also avoid boredom at work . With this plan , Working from home does not make it difficult to separate work from personal life .

• Then proceed as planned , Please break down what you will do every day and the time of the day . If there is an online calendar , Please create personal events and reminders , Tell yourself the end time of the task , And start a new task .

At the same time, we need to avoid the interference of other social media , So try to put your mobile phone away from work , For example, some easy to distract themselves  APP（ Such as micro-blog 、 Tiktok 、B  Station, etc. ）. Personal experience except placing the mobile phone at a certain distance from the desk , Or put it in a drawer , I will also brush what I usually do  APP  Set the usage time and even uninstall , In order to set a certain threshold .

1.3  Effective online communication

Even working from home , We also need to take work seriously . Even online communication , When faced with leadership 、 When communicating with colleagues or customers , You also need to be polite and friendly .

• Carefully edit your emails and other written communications

• Reply to chat communication in time 、 Phone and email （ Maybe you also hate your colleagues who can't read back , So try not to be such a person ）

• There are problems with written communication 、 Unclear content , You can make an online meeting 、 Because online meetings can minimize redundant information . And it is recommended to share your own screen , Make good use of tools such as paintbrushes .

Some tools for online communication ：

• Online meeting ： Tencent Conference 、ZOOM、Slack、 nailing .

• Telephone communication ： Cell phone 、 Enterprise WeChat 、Skype

1.4  Happy working life

• Appropriate exercise

Work every hour , Do some light stretching exercises , Pacing back and forth in the room , And for a long time, one person is facing the computer , Eyes are prone to fatigue , So you can take a proper look out the window .

Don't forget to drink water every once in a while , Because dry mouth will make you feel tired and distracted .

Proper exercise can improve your mood , Let's be more energetic , So as to improve work efficiency .

If you are alone at home for a few weeks , Soon I'll be tired of . After work , Watch the interesting live broadcast , For example, dance with Liu Zhenhong in the live studio , Slowly learn to apply this loneliness .

You can also do housework 、 Sanitation 、 Mop the floor , Do something other than work to transfer your fatigue .

• Eat right

Sometimes it's easy to forget to eat and drink when busy with work , But keeping good nutrition will help you stay healthy and improve your energy level .

Last , Remember to put some healthy snacks and meals in the refrigerator and storage room at home , So you won't rush to find something to eat , Even worry about materials .

At the end of the day , Close the working chat program , Stop viewing messages , And transfer the work phone to voicemail . Use this time to relax 、 Spend time with family and deal with tasks unrelated to work . Again , Don't let your personal life permeate your working hours . When you should work , Avoid chatting with friends or doing time-consuming housework .

please remember , Happy life is the essence .
