With the advancement in technology through the use of computers and other communication devices, the way we work has also changed, drastically.

Rather than shuttling between the home and office every day, some people have found it, extremely, convenient, to work remotely, from home, utilizing computers and the internet.

One, however, has to be careful not to slack in work output, when working remotely from home.

During the recent Easter break, I decided to take some unfinished work home to complete.

I had already planned on how to get the work done, as the break would last for 4 days, but then, I was so distracted at home, that I could not complete, even, one of the tasks.

I knew that I would have done better if I was working in the office.

Some people do think that working from home would cushion the effect of mental pressure due to stress and increase productivity, but that’s simply not true.

Professionals, working remotely, often struggle to find the right balance, to keep their productivity high.

Sometimes, it is very good to stay disconnected from things that will normally distract you in order to focus on what you are doing, or, get a job done.

Working remotely has its perks as you may not need to get up early from bed; you may spend less time, commuting and you can decide, when to start working and when to stop working, but then, there are definitely drawbacks that many people have found to be challenging, as I have found out myself.

Below are 5 effective tips, that will help you to stay productive, while working remotely;

Self-motivation: Self-motivation is the first thing that counts when it comes to staying productive while working remotely.

No matter how much you love your job, if you are not self-motivated, you will not get the job done.

Self-motivation keeps you focused and helps you to be more productive, as you work.

Draw out a plan and schedule it: Draw out a plan and carefully, arrange and schedule it.

Never draw out a plan, without scheduling the plan. Your plans for the work days that, you choose, should be well documented and scheduled.

This tends to keep you focused and more productive, as it will help you a lot, not to forget important work, as well as, keep your life structured.

Choose your perfect working hours: Individually, we all have time that we tend to be more productive and more focused.

Some people are more productive in the early hours of the day, while some are, in the afternoon and others, in the evening.

For some, they are productive, only, during the night. Know your own productive hours and work with it.

Ensure that you maximize it, to get what needs to be done, finished up, as you may tend to start losing concentration when the hours elapse.

Do away with any form of distractions: Try, as much as you can, to do away with anything that you know will distract you. Shut yourself out and focus on the task at hand.

Save time with Automation: Automation has changed the digital era and increased productivity among remote workers.

Set and allow automation tools, to reach out to your clients, while you concentrate on other things.

This ensures that your productivity is boosted, as your content will be published on social media and e-mails will be sent.
