ADVICES 

Work space 

Visualize a space that makes you feel comfortable in your home, organize it and keep it clean, this will allow ideas to flow correctly, and will provide you with the necessary comfort to carry out a job worthy of the excellent professional you are. 

*NOTE… Selecting a specific space doesn’t mean that you have to work in that place, the good thing about telework is that you can work anywhere. However we recommend that you select a certain space so in that way you can create a habit*  

Make a planning 

Organizing is essential, not because you work from home you are going to leave the work structure that you have in the office, so establish a schedule that allows you to carry out the corresponding functions of the day, you have in your favor a comfortable space that allows you to relax. 

In this planning you must include the goals you want to achieve for the month, you can establish a schedule of activities that allows you to set the daily tasks you need to perform to achieve the objectives. 

Do one thing at a time 

With this we mean that if you are going to occupy a certain time of your day at work, fix it only for that .. Please don’t start to do the deep cleaning of the house during the working hours that you established!. ​Also avoid the distractions offered by the wonderful social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram will still be there after you finish working … Focusing is the key! 

Break Time!  

It is important that you take a break in the day after having completed part of the proposed tasks, this space can be at noon, at lunchtime… 

 Remember that at the end of your daily work schedule, you should take time to relax and do things that allow you to rest. 

It is time for you to get into teleworking, we know that not all transitions are easy, however we faithfully believe in your potential.
