Many people will begin working from home due to the declaration of movement control order starting from March 18 to 31 in order to deal with the rise in Covid-19 cases. So what’s the best way to stay efficient and keep your spirits up?

1. Get dressed
   For some people, the prospect of staying in their pyjamas all day is the most tantalising aspect of working from home. But washing and getting dressed will not only improve your state of mind, it will psychologically prepare you to start work.
   Whether you need to change into business attire depends on the type of person you are and the nature of the job you have.
2. Establish boundaries
   If you’re employed by a company, you’ll probably have set hours of work, and it’s important to stick to these when you’re working from home. Be ready to start your day at the same time as you would normally arrive in your office or workplace, and finish your day at the same time.
3. Pick up the phone
   If you’re working from home, the chances are you’ll be alone, so you won’t get distracted by colleagues’ conversations and other office noise. When you’re at work, you’re more likely to engage with colleagues but when you’re working from home, you could spend the whole day without speaking to anyone which can be isolating. It’s easy to spend the day without speaking to anyone so it’s a good idea to call workmates or friends for a chat. Make some time to pick up the phone and have a real conversation, rather than relying on email and instant messaging.
4. Take regular breaks
   It’s good to have a routine when you’re working from home, but work shouldn’t become monotonous. And you shouldn’t stay glued to your screen all day. It’s important to take regular screen breaks and get up from your desk and move around just as you would in an office.
