Hi, I am a product designer and have been leading design at Immigram since August 2022. Before that, I worked in senior positions at Ozon, Motify, and Tinkoff.
I have been working remotely for more than five years, and I collected seven tips for staying productive while working remotely.
1. Create a dedicated workspace
Having a dedicated workspace can help you stay focused and avoid distractions. For example, I work only at the desk with my screens and laptop. I don’t work in bed because it influences my sleep quality. I have a separate zone for relaxing, sleeping, and working. My brain switches an effort mode when I change the location at home.
2. Set a schedule and stick to it
Setting a schedule can help you stay organized and on track. It’s also essential to stick to your plan as much as possible.
3. Take regular breaks
It’s essential to take regular breaks to help you stay fresh and focused. Try to get up and move around, stretch, or do something else that enables you to relax and recharge.
4. Avoid multitasking
Multitasking can be tempting, but it can make you less productive. Instead, you can focus on one task at a time and give it your full attention.
5. Communicate with your team
Communication is vital when working remotely. Could you keep in touch with your team and stay up-to-date on what everyone is working on?
6. Use productivity tools
Many productivity tools can help you stay organized and on track. Examples include time-tracking software, project management tools, and collaboration tools.
7. Take care of yourself
Finally, remember to take care of yourself. This means getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying active. Taking care of your physical and mental health will help you stay productive and focused.
Thank you very much, and share your rituals at remote work.
