Working from home comes with many pros and cons. People love the flexibility and comfort of being able to set your own schedule and work out of your bedroom. However, it requires lots of self-motivation and control in order to stay productive.

Here are a few tips to help optimize your efficiency while working from the comfort of your own home.

Structure Your Day

If you’re working from home you’re basically your own boss. This can be convenient at times but it can also be easier to stay off schedule. Set specific work hours for yourself to avoid burnouts and procrastination.

Stay Off Social Media

We all know it—someone sends you a message on Facebook or Instagram, and suddenly you’re stuck scrolling through cute puppy videos for hours. Try your best to stay off social media during work time, allowing yourself to enter the apps only during designated breaks.

Pretend Like You’re Actually Going to a Workplace

When you think of work from home, you might imagine typing away on your computer while still in your pajamas with messy hair. However, this can make it difficult for you to enter work mode. Try pretending like you’re actually going to an office by wearing nice clothes.
