Working from home can be highly productive; this is because the worker feels at ease due to being in a familiar and comfortable environment. However, this place of work presents some challenges, especially when it comes to time management; organizing your time and workplace can be hard, but it is not impossible. For that reason, we will give you some tips to start changing how you manage time and work.

Organization

The first thing to do is to organize your workplace, even while working from home you must need a place specifically for your job that will allow you not to fall in distractions and temptations. It’s a good idea to have a great home office even if it’s small. Check the tips for that: 

• A good desk: the desk is an important part of every office, the size will depend on your job description. Try to pick one that does not just look great, but it is adequate for you and space. 
• Have every tool in place: if you work with different tools try to have them at reach, that way you won’t lose critical time walking around looking for a specific tool.
• Keep it tidy: try to spend few minutes at the end of each workday to clean and tidy everything on the desk and the rest of the office; that will save you minutes the next day finding everything that you need to start your activities.
• Organize the activities: the best way to use your office is to have a plan or list of activities.

Time management

Even when working from home, good time management is highly important to get to the deadlines. Check the following tips to improve your time management:

• Set a routine: we love habits, setting a routine is part of our way of living. To create these routines, you must take breaks regularly and establish hours to start and finish your day just like in a conventional office; that way the rhythm for a routine will be set, and it will become a habit. 
• Create a To-Do list: create a list to separate the priorities from the activities that can be left for later. The priorities must be done at the beginning of the day so you can give them all your attention and energy. Completing important tasks in the afternoons tends to be more difficult. 
• Keep a timesheet: creating tabs on how much time you spend doing each task or activity will help you to understand your work process better; this can be done with a timesheet. For example, you can learn at what time you are more productive. 
• Rewards: after concluding a big and important task you could reward yourself with a snack like a muffin or a drink like ice coffee, this will give you more energy for the next task, thus increasing the productivity.
• Identify distractions: nothing worse than wasting time and having many distractions inside your home office. But before cutting them out, you must know what they are and understand that they don’t have any space inside your home office. After cutting them, you can increase your time and productivity. 

Organize your time while working at home will depend exclusively on you. Keep and practice these tips and start making changes in your daily routine.
