 Tips for efficiently working from home Adapting to a new work environment is always difficult, even when it is moving into the comfort of your own home. Working from home can present new obstacles for those learning to manage work and life, in their household. Different variables like implementing new rules, practicing good habits and maintaining a healthy balance, are very important. Here are some useful tips to help create effective habits and achieve greater productivity: 1. Create a Workspace (And Keep it Tidy) First, create a designated workspace that you can call your office and in which you keep your work. This helps to make the distinction between where you work and where you live. Make sure to keep your workspace organized and keep your essentials at hand, notes, office supplies, water and brain food snacks. This helps you focus and avoid getting up to find things constantly, which can lead to more distractions. 2. Stick to Your Regularly Scheduled Programming Try to keep your normal routine and schedule in place. Use the time you would normally take to commute to do something for yourself, make a good and healthy breakfast, take a shower to ready you for the day, or walk the dog a little longer. Some professionals may already be accustomed to flexible schedules. But, if you must spend more time at home than normal, find ways to supplement what you would be doing, like expanding your social media marketing skills or attending a web based seminar. 3.

Remember to Get Fresh Air Productivity does not occur from non stop, limitless hours of work. Sitting at a desk for extended periods of time can be detrimental to your health. Working past your normal office hours can be easy when you are at home, but it can also lead to exhaustion and loss of sleep. A healthy balance is vital to ensuring productivity and efficiency! Use your break time to step out and get fresh air or even your normal commute time home, for a quick walk. |

It is a common misconception that a real estate agent primarily learns of someone looking to buy or sell a home when someone simply calls an agency looking for an agent to help them. Although this can happen, it is very rare. In fact, over 80% of the referrals I receive come from past clients and past coworkers just like you. The other 15-20% of referrals comes from our national network of relocation companies and other Coldwell Banker agencies across the country. The greatest compliment I can receive is when someone like you refers me to a friend, coworker or family member of theirs. If you, or someone you know, are looking to either buy or sell a home then I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. Do you know of someone looking to buy or sell a home?  |
