Here are some ideas for time management for working from home. Before you start your day, you should
Get Your Blood Flowing
Go for a quick walk, run or jog. If unable to do any of those, find a spot in your area and run on the spot. Purpose is to get you going and wired up for the day ahead.
Start With The Most Difficult/Time Consuming Task
Your energy levels are at its peak in the morning, especially if you got some quick exercise in beforehand. Spend it working on the most difficult tasks. Get those out of the way and the remainder of your day may become easier.
Plan Which Tasks Need To Get Done First
Sometimes starting work all these things pop up and we get annoyed thinking where to start first. If a bunch of things pop up, plan in your mind which to get done first and work from there.
Set Shutdown Deadline
If you finish at 5pm, turn the computer off right at 5pm. Do not work for a few minutes more. This is all depending if you’re able to do that with your job/career.
Ideas For Time Management
Funny thing is under a year prior to writing you this post, I only discovered The Pomodoro Technique.
- Work in 25 minute sprints, four times, each sprint followed by a 5 minute break.
After completing four 25 minute sprints, you get to take a longer 20-30 minute break. This helps prevent burnout.
Another is The 2 Minute Rule where if a task takes less than 2 minutes, get it done right away.
Have you tried Energy Based Scheduling? Save your high energy moments on the high focus tasks.
Tidy Your Workspace
Do you work sitting at a desk? If it’s messy clean it up.
When my desk is messy I tend to be sloppy or unfocused when working. When the desk is completely clean with lots of space available I feel both more at easy and focused.
Eliminate The Distractions
Are you constantly checking for updates on Instagram, Facebook, Tinder or anything?
Put your phone on airplane mode and move your phone to another room.
There are apps which can help you with this as well.
