Remote working has become a norm. While many master it perfectly, those who face organizational difficulties remain numerous. Here are the mistakes you should not make to make your remote work as smooth as possible.
1. Not knowing how to use tools
This is a very common mistake: you are in a videoconference on Teams or on Zoom, and you forget to turn off your microphone when you are going to make yourself a coffee for example. In the same way, you forget that your camera is on when you are going to sit on the balcony to sunbathe. Sometimes, moments of your private life are therefore exposed to the eyes of your employees.
To avoid this embarrassing situation, learn and force yourself to use mute and video correctly: keep an eye on both icons during a video call.
2. Have an unstructured daily life
Working from home means risking wanting to stay in bed until the last moment, or even spend the day there. Whether it's the bed or the couch, the idea of working this comfortable is not strategic. On the one hand, back pain can be caused by unsuitable positions, and on the other hand, this type of configuration is not conducive to the concentration required at work.
The ideal is therefore to arrive at structure your daily life by imposing on you:
- Start and end times of the day
- To work in a dedicated place
Creating a routine will allow you to be more motivated, more efficient and to have a better morale. Try to get up and go to bed at set times and prepare as if you were going to the office.
3. Losing the line between professional and personal life
In the continuity of an unstructured daily life, there is the inability to maintain a balance between professional and personal life.
Many people tend to work more remotely than face-to-face, because a feeling of guilt arises if they don't finish this last file before going to bed for example. Many people connect to their work tools late at night, on weekends, or outside of their working hours.
For your psychological balance, it is very important to impose a fixed limit on yourself. Be vigilant to keep your right to disconnect.
4. Let yourself be distracted by your environment
When we work at home, we are very quickly distracted by what is around us: noises around us, family members, a sudden desire to clean something or cook are the enemies of effective teleworking.
You must therefore be vigilant to promote your concentration : you can get into the habit of putting on headphones or headphones to avoid hearing noises, or you can move into an isolated room if possible.
5. Lose the habit of going out and social interactions
Finally, many remote workers experience a great Feeling lonely, or of suffocation, fatigue and demotivation. They tend to stay locked in their homes and lose the taste for normal distractions.
That is why it is essential to Establishing daily moments to go out : going for a walk in the park, going shopping are activities that allow you to clear your mind. Social outings, where you meet your loved ones or where you meet other people, are also very beneficial for your mood. Physical activities are also a great way to get your thoughts out of daily work and stay healthy.
