Working from Home: Ten Tips on Productivity

by | Mar 27, 2020 | Community | 0 comments

At one point or another in our careers, we’ve all found ourselves needing to work remote. For some it’s indefinite, others temporary. However, working from home can often times be a challenge when you’re accustomed to the accessibility of resources that an office setting can provide. It’s no surprise that being “at work” offers routine, higher productivity and accountability within a team.  

Enter COVID-19. You are now working remote daily, potentially with kids home from school and typical day to day routine is a thing of the past. What can you do to better the situation, for you, your work and your family as social distancing and self-quarantine become a reality? 

How to (Productively) Work from Home: 

  • Structure your day like you would the office 
  • Don’t work in your PJ’s 
  • Choose a work space 
  • Create a definitive schedule with a start and end time, inclusive of a break 
  • Plan what you’ll be working on ahead of time 
  • Keep the team calendar front of mind 
  • Stay connected to your team via email, text or teleconferencing  
  • Set expectations and boundaries for those who are home with you to limit interruptions 
  • Avoid the TV and social media while working, especially right now with constant COVID-19 updates 
  • Meal plan as if you were going into the office. 

As we modify our lives around the COVID-19 pandemic and adjust to the constraints of work/life balance from home, the best thing we can truly do for ourselves, family and work is stay positive and find a routine that allows balance.

Accountants or Superheroes? You Decide…

Being honest, no one hears accounting and thinks “wow! that’s got to be fun!”. There are no explosions, no villains (except for maybe tax law), and definitely no fights (unless you count audits). But behind every successful business is a calm, calculator-wielding hero crunching numbers and saving the day one set of financials at a time. Yes, we mean that literally.
