Building Daily Productivity While Staying At Home

In the present epoch of webbed sandwiches deliciously spiced up with flavoured condiments of social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, online web portals, Netflix, Yidio, Flixtor, Popcornflix, Snagfilms, Retrovision TV, etc. and many more we all are inveigled by the peerage of materialism.

But, then again, our coveted lives circle around the need of the hour where technology is serving as a grand bliss to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

Working from home can be a melancholy enterprise with social distancing, but it does not have to be. Distractions can disrupt your productivity blowing down your work efficiency, which later on you might not be able to cope up with. But it’s your brain, which plays the sacred game and you can only rule it smart bifurcating your personal and professional environment.

If you are not finely acquainted with working at home, it can take some time getting used to new challenges that you might not have in your office. It is important to have a defined routine and more importantly sticking firm to it. Some people work better in clutter while some cannot concentrate amidst untidy space at all. Some might think blasting Ariana Grande’s latest hit would be a productive move to spill out the best results in office work, while for some loud noises could be the worst thing at work. Everybody is different, but building daily productivity while staying home is the most necessary need right now so that your mind and heart can maintain the beautiful relationship with your body yearning for physical and mental peace. Regardless of your personal style, here are some easy tips to facilitate ways of being more productive each day in between the Corona virus outbreak.

1. Make your work space a stress-free zone of tranquillity and solitude where your concentration mode gets enhanced. If you don’t have a separate room, then find an area with minimum traffic flow or a corner of a room off the main area.

2. Block your neighbour’s barking mutt or excess noise from household members by introducing your brain with a delicate blend of soft music combined with soothing nature sounds such as a rushing brook or ocean waves as this calms your brain, helps you to concentrate and lowers blood pressure and heart rate.

3. Establish watertight psychological boundaries so that you are not constantly reminded of temptations around you or unfinished personal tasks. Complete your personal activities outside your work hours as you normally would.

4. Discourage personal intrusions. Go for a walk to the same designated place every day within your locality to relax and recharge your batteries.

5. If you start to feel lonely, consider setting up a support group of friends and colleagues who are also working at home by satellite. Share your creative ideas with them for clear picturization of your workflow.

6. After work hours enjoy other areas of your home and lifestyle, such as watching a good movie, reading a book, cooking a fun meal, romanticising with a home candle light dinner with your partner, having a fun time with your little ones, sharing views on social, or political or environmental issues with your elders, etc.

7. Your greatest strength is your perspective. Last, but not the least be an opportunist to live the time fully with an optimistic approach. Hope for the best in this uncontrollable situation. Keep your attitude in check and catch up your fun hobbies such as singing, painting, making digital illustrations, dancing, playing musical instruments, writing stories or poems, getting dressed up experimenting fashion, decorating your home, etc. which you have neglected for a while.
