5 Time Management Tips To Try When Working From Home

How to make the most of your time working remote.

Working from home can be a challenge. With the luxuries (and restrictions) of the office no longer claiming your workspace, you may feel the rush of freedom and the accompanying overwhelm that comes with it. But don’t panic. There are numerous time management tips that you can follow to get the most out of your time at home.

Sure, it can be an adjustment…

But with time, you will realize the tremendous opportunity that remote work provides.

I had a standard nine-to-five office job many years ago. I was required to arrive to work at a certain time and wasn’t allowed to leave until a certain time.

Fine. That’s how many businesses operate and that’s OK. The problem was though, I didn’t have anything to do. I’d get to work, power on my computer, get ready to start my day, and then sit there for eight hours. There was no work for me to complete.

I’d ask for more, but was barely given anything.

I’d request more responsibility, but wasn’t granted much.

My days were filled with me roaming the halls, meandering around for hours on end because it was better than staring at a blank computer screen. And, because I was stuck in an office, my time was locked. It wasn’t like I could work on a side project, or read a book, or fold laundry at my desk.

That’s “frowned upon.”

Lame.

Suffice to say, my time wasn’t being properly utilized and I didn’t stay with the company for very long.

*I got a lot of steps in from walking around so much though. So that’s a plus.
