Ask HN: Any tips for staying focused while working at home?
Hi, I have been working at home for some time now, but lately my productivity has decreased a lot. I would like to know any strategies from people who work at home to stay focused and productive. Thanks in advance.
- db48x 4y agoUse introspection to determine why your productivity has decreased, then fix that.
- ppjim 4y agoI have had some trouble adapting to this new dynamic.
- Bostonian 4y agoGet all chores done (dishes, laundry, yardwork, grocery shopping, paying bills) outside work hours. Consider working in a public library.
- ppjim 4y agoYes I think I will definitely look for a public library. Thanks
- Bakary 4y agoCleanly separate your workspace from your living space. Introduce voluntary deadlines and a set routine
- ppjim 4y agoGreat, that's a good one. Yeah, I'm having some trouble splitting time between work and personal life. Thanks.
- Bakary 4y agoIt also helps to work on your basics. Good sleep and nutrition is 80% of all motivation issues. Also examining what motivates you at the job in the first place. Deadlines? Not letting others down? The social role that work gives you? Fear of unemployment? The joy of laboring? Escaping a difficult family life? A sense of flow? The answer will help you pinpoint why your motivation is flagging and how to resolve it
