Set up a morning routine
It may seem tempting to snooze of that alarm and have that extra 15-minutes of sleeping when no one is expecting you to be on time at the office.

Have a dedicated workspace

Accept distractions
Let us be honest. Your home can never be the same as your office and vice-versa. You are bound to have some distraction, the doorbell, the kids running into your room, the TV noise, social media, your partner, etc. But, you must accept these distractions if they don?? take your whole day. Try to adapt to the new working style. Taking a regular but quick break can help you give enough attention to your children and other work without compromising on your work.

This will help you be on top of the deliverables, and yet you can enjoy your time with family members. Once you start planning your schedule, you will soon find that you can work efficiently.??
Stay connected to co-workers.
Being home does not mean you must cut off ties with your teammates and co-workers. There are plenty of ways to stay in touch with your friends virtually. So, try to connect with your co-workers every day for a few minutes, this will help you stay updated with the latest happenings, also help you know if everyone is on the same page to accomplish the goal.
If you have any issues with work, your co-workers can guide you through the situation. But, don?? let the virtual meetings all about work, it is okay to connect with your friends to have a friendly personal chat during the tea break or lunch break. This way, you will have the fresh conversation you need and be motivated.
