From going to the office to working from home, the covid-19 pandemic has shifted the way we work.

In fact, many companies are changing working policies and letting employees work remotely.

One such example is Google’s “work from anywhere” policy.

Besides this, many companies are shifting to a hybrid working approach.

Though employees seem happy with this new trend, some still struggle to stay productive.

From one distraction to another, it can get difficult to get work done sitting at home.

Luckily, with some useful ideas and remodeling of your workspace, you can get work done at home easily.

To help you out, we’ve put together ideas to help you stay productive when working from home.

Create the good routine

Following a good routine can set the tone for the work, especially in the morning.

It will increase energy levels, so you stay productive while working from home.

To start early on work, maintain the morning routine.

Try making a cup of coffee, taking a morning walk, hitting the gym, or getting dressed up.

Whatever activity starts your day, consider doing that first before working.

Now, you can still follow this routine if you’re not a morning person.

You’ll just need to finish the activity that you usually do when you get up before you start working.

Also, consider doing these other things before you kick-start your work.
