Remote work can be highly rewarding, which I have mentioned multiple times in previous posts. But working from home also presents unique challenges. Although I am a big supporter of this style, at the beginning I was struggling to manage my time, put boundaries, and pay attention to my well-being.

Now, after two and half years of remote working and having implemented several tips, I can share some to boost your productivity and well-being if you are a remote worker.

✔ First, create a designated workspace within your home. This dedicated area helps separate work from personal life somehow. I changed the guest room to an office, (now my guests must sleep on the sofa, sorry guys) as I was using my bedroom previously.

✔ Establishing a routine and sticking to a schedule is also crucial. Set clear working hours and maintain a consistent routine that includes breaks and personal activities. I use an alarm to follow my schedule.

✔ While working remotely allows for a more relaxed dress code, dressing up as if you were going to the office can significantly impact your mindset and motivation. Honestly, this has not yet been achieved because I prefer casual outfits. The only thing I do is dress in a more formal style…
