General tips for working from home

[Translate to English:] Abbildung: Home Office Ausstattung am Arbeitsplatz

Create a place to work 

If you work from home, having a proper workspace is vitally important. Find a place where you have plenty of daylight and can work undisturbed. A desk or dining table is best, and of course a work room of your own is ideal because you can arrange it according to your requirements. It’s not wise to have a bed or sofa there because this can reduce your productivity. Plants make your workspace friendlier. They’re not only attractive, they filter the air and provide a better work climate. Large plants can also serve to partition the space

Keep to a morning routine

Working from home gives you greater flexibility and saves time because you don’t have to commute. However, get up at the usual time and prepare as if you were leaving for work. Good clothing will subtly affect your mindset and increase your productivity. For that reason it’s unwise to stay in pyjamas all day or to appear in them for a videoconference. Find comfortable clothing that you would also wear in the office. There’s no need to be in a suit when you’re at home.

Schedules for schoolchildren

Schoolchildren have to adhere to a fixed schedule. You can ensure that your children are aware of their daily routine by printing class schedules at home and helping them to fill them in. You can also schedule your own work breaks for times when you can help them with their questions.

Marking to-do lists

To-do lists, notebooks and organisers make daily life a lot easier. Write up a to-do list each day so that you don’t forget important assignments and deadlines. You can then use marking dots to call attention to high-priority tasks. Marking dots are also ideal for use on drawers, boxes and storage compartments.

Meetings and communication when working from home

Communication with customers and associates

Good communication is especially important when you work from home. Digital tools, videoconferences and teleconferences are a good means of staying in touch with associates and discussing current projects. Informal coffee calls can contribute to a better working climate and combat loneliness.
