Confinement and Teleworking.
Either because it is what you have been doing until now or because you have been forced to join this way of working as a result of the revolutionary pandemic of the blessed Covid-19.
In this post, I will try to give you some brief tips to help you cope with being confined to your home and, consequently, our new way of “digi-working”, addressing the factors that most influence us in this situation: not mixing your workplace with your sacred and warm home, listing the tasks to be performed each day and establishing a work schedule that is as close as possible to your usual routine in the office.
Nobody knows how long this situation will last, but we must be clear that, as long as it continues, we must adapt to this new way of living as best we can. Inspira Workspaces We have been seeing this new working formula proliferate more and more for several years now. In fact, our business model has been changing to adapt to this trend. It is very common for one or two people in the same office to use one of our meeting rooms to connect with a colleague who is teleworking. Our network infrastructure has also been adapted to allow the different orders connect to their servers from anywhere. Every day it is more common for companies to opt for a Virtual Office with access to meeting rooms on an ad hoc basis, since most of the time they work remotely. The teleworking formula It has also been extended to the use of meeting rooms, where some of the attendees are not physically in the room. From our coworking We have implemented formulas for video conference that allow the virtual attendee to feel as if they were attending the meeting. Our teams video conference They allow the “absent” person to hear the rest of the team, see them and participate as if he or she were really in the room, and he or she can also view the projection as one more. We just need to make sure that he or she enjoys the coffee break with the rest of our companions!
Reading articles about workers who perform their duties from their homes, I realized that, in many cases, the productivity of these people is diminished. This has a clear cause and it is the lack of organization of schedules and tasks. It is true that going to your home office is a very difficult task. work space Every day helps a lot in this sense, because we also don't have many of the distractions that undermine our productivity. The ideal would be to be able to combine days of teleworking with days of face-to-face work, even being able to alternate virtual meetings video conference with encounters in the meeting room most suitable for the task to be performed, but the truth is that with the state of alarm declared more than a week ago, this is complicated, so we have no choice but to adapt. Many workers say that, by turning your personal space into your “office”, it is difficult to disconnect. Well, but until now, it was possible to go out, take a walk, breathe deeply or even meet a friend, disconnecting our brain for a few hours and returning much clearer. However, unfortunately, the times we are going through prevent us from carrying out these social actions, so we have no choice but to spend hours and hours stuck within the four walls of our beloved home.
For this reason, today I bring you a series of tips to make your new life as a “confined teleworker” as bearable as possible.
Let's go with them!
Tip #1: First of all, Choose a room (or a separate area) in the house and turn it into your new personal office.
From Inspira Workspaces We are highly specialized in creating pleasant environments to work in, but without distractions. We are at your disposal to give you recommendations! Contact us!
You know, a desk, shelves, folders, a chair, a laptop, a phone, a family photo and, why not, a cactus, to give it a touch. The fact that this space is separate from the rest of the rooms will mean that you won't have as many distractions and maintaining an adequate order and aesthetic will also help to enhance your concentration at work.
Tip #2: With the papers on the table, he establishes a list of tasks to be performed For that day.
It is just as important that you establish work schedules as you establish your breaks or small breaksIt is so important because if we do not impose these small breaks on ourselves over time, we run the risk of getting up every now and then. I'm hungry, I'll go to the fridge for a second. My phone vibrates, I'll go see what my group of friends are saying. The sun is coming out! I'll go out to the terrace for a second. And a long list of excuses that cause us to get distracted and not focus all our efforts and concentration on the task we are performing.
Tip #3: is Copy your office routine and bring it to your home.
For example, from 10:00 to 12:00, you clean your inbox. At 12:00, a coffee and a ham and cheese sandwich for lunch and back to the “office”. Respect your lunch hour (I recommend that you prepare your lunch the night before so that you can enjoy your full hour, doing nothing but eating and relaxing a bit). And at 19:00 in the evening, the time when you usually leave the office, you stop. You close the computer, pick up your briefcase and leave that room. It is your time for leisure and enjoyment of family/home/time with yourself. So just as you have respected your work hours, respect your personal schedule and do what you like best. After a long day, you deserve it!
I'm going to leave you here with a video that I found, published by RCN Radio, which I think perfectly explains everything I just told you, but in a more visual way:
Well, I hope that these tips help you to cope as best as possible with this confinement that we have to face for the good of everyone.
