Top Tips for Working from Home

Posted By Abbie Akinfenwa, Virtual Assistant, 11 February 2022

Largely owing to the pandemic, there has been a significant rise in the number of people working from home.

We at Pink Spaghetti are used to working from home. Our franchisees and staff, around 100 people in our business, all work from home. It is not for everyone, so what would we suggest for people about to start or who are making the transition? Here are some of our tops tips for structuring your day.

Routine 

 It can be very easy to merge home and work life, but this could be a mistake. Get up at the same time, keep to your morning routine, and instead of leaving the house, you sit at your computer. Some people even find that being in work clothes instead of the often written about pyjamas can help the mind differentiate between home and work life. 

Take breaks 

You can use a timer such as a Pomorodo Timer, to ensure that every ½ hour or hour you take a break. Go into the garden, get some fresh air, make a cup of coffee, whatever you need. 

Keep in contact 

One of the great things about going into work are the people. Talking about what is going on, who saw what on television, etc is vitally important to us all and yet this is the first thing that goes with working from home. Set up a virtual team. This could be in the form of a private Facebook Group, or software such as Slack. Zoom can be used for visual meetings. You could start the day with a video meeting, and then continue with group messaging throughout the day. 

Our teams are experts at working from home, and love to use technology in all sorts of ways. Do get in touch for a chat if you would like to work out what you could be doing differently.
