Work from home tips

 We should try to find a small area at home where you can sit and work. It should be having good lighting and also spacious enough to keep all things. If possible get a table, chair & a power extension for laptop.

2. Reliable internet connection

Most of the people have broadband wifi at home and that's mostly sufficient for working. However, add a UPS for routers to avoid power cuts causing disconnection in meetings.

If you don't have broadband then go for mobile hotspot with good network like Airtel, Jio etc. A dongle also comes handy to avoid any clash with mobile clashes.

3. Take frequent breaks

People forget to take breaks during the working hours like they used to take in office environment. Make sure you stand up from your desk and go for coffee break as regular as you do in office.

Also, don't skip your breakfast, lunch timings. It's important to follow a schedule so that work don't become monotonous for you.

Take a break, talk to your wife, kids & friends as you would have done in office in colleagues.

4. Keep a tracker of pending work

Sometime what happens that you tend to keep working without knowing what is doable and what not. Make sure you have a tracker for pending work. Use a mobile based work tracker as it's very handy.
