Tips + Tricks For Working From Home

In light of the recent situation, working from home has become the standard for office life. And at Frontier, we’re continuing to work hard for you, our clients, through this crisis because we recognize that your work is especially important in the midst of this global health crisis.

If you’re starting to work from home for the first time, here are a few tips from us to help you work effectively and efficiently.

Make space: Find a space in your home where you can work effectively and still channel those office headspace vibes! Light some candles, make some coffee or tea, and put on that playlist that keeps you going even in a home space.
Have a schedule: Keep up your office routines in your home space and act as if you are still going into the office. Help yourself feel put together by getting dressed, scheduling breaks, and keeping your workspace organized.
Keep in touch: It can be lonely working alone sometimes, so make time to talk to others throughout your day. Whether that's making a video call at lunch or during a scheduled break, it is important to keep up that social connection.
Communication is key: Don’t just use email to communicate. There are valuable resources available that can keep communication clear! Slack, Whereby, Facebook Portal, and Skype are all beneficial ways you can keep in touch with your teammates and still get some face-to-face time.
Schedule your breaks: I know this was mentioned before, but remember to schedule your breaks and take them in their entirety. Not only will your focus and productivity thank you, but it will also keep you from being distracted by the ever-present social media world at our fingertips.
