- Consider your workspace. Find a dedicated and comfortable spot to work, preferably one where you can shut the door to avoid distractions.
- Structure your day like you would in the office. Set your alarm, get dressed, include occasional breaks and a dedicated time for lunch.
- Overcommunicate: Keep your supervisor and coworkers in the loop on what you are working on to avoid duplication of work. Think beyond email and use other collaboration tools to meet and chat with your team members to stay up-to-date.
- Remember that everyone works differently: Be patient if you do not get a response to messages right away. If you have something that doesn’t need a response quickly let the other person know that, too!
