But, it was only a matter of time before it turned into a vicious cycle of wasted hours after hours, and pulling through the usual routine of weekdays seemed like a task. In these testing times, the simplest of things become difficult, as the world around us comes to a halt. Hence, our productivity drops down drastically, and we find it difficult to cope up.<\/p>\n<p>Productivity, in general, is a combination of these seven factors:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Routine<\/li>\n<li>Motivation<\/li>\n<li>Mindfulness<\/li>\n<li>Consistency<\/li>\n<li>Positivity<\/li>\n<li>Vision<\/li>\n<li>Goal-oriented<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, being productive from home comes with its own challenges that we haven\u2019t dealt with before. Some of the common reasons why it can be so demanding are the lack of social interaction, the monotony of work, and the common distractions at home. Moreover, one perk of going out is that we draw a line between weekends and weekdays; but while being at home, that line starts blurring out; every day is the same.<\/p>\n<p>So how do we continue to be positively productive while staying at home and not give up on the monotone of this new normal? <em>Let\u2019s explore ways to stay motivated during these uncertain times:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Start your day with exercise and lemon water<\/p>\n<p>Commencing your day with lemon water shoots up your energy level for the rest of the day, both physically and mentally. It also helps your stomach in absorbing nutrients better and keeps you going throughout the day. And while you wait for the lemon to do its work, use the time to squeeze in some exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers claim that people who work out in the morning are more productive and have a critical approach to getting things done. Exercising helps your body release GABA, a neurotransmitter, that soothes your brain and improves control over your impulses, and enhances focus and concentration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Being at home means that you are on your own; no one will pester you with constant reminders on the time, deadline, and work that is pending. It can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how you tackle the situation; either you take the opportunity and work at your own pace, or you bail out and procrastinate EVERYTHING.<\/p>\n<p>Take control over your schedule, set aside leisure time, and ensure that you make the most out of the day. At times, the workload can get overwhelming, so divide it according to the urgency, and stick to the timelines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lose the nightsuit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One lagniappe of working and studying from home is the liberty to wear the most comfortable set of clothes and skip the morning shower because no one will know. Well, guess what? Maybe that is holding you back!<br \/>\nJust because no one is watching doesn\u2019t mean you quit following your morning routine. When you wake up in the morning and give yourself the time to freshen up and slip into casuals, it prepares you for the rest of the day, and you\u2019re bound to feel more energized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a workspace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rule number one of working from home is to designate a space just for work. Personalize it according to your needs, stay away from all forms of distractions in and around your house, and try minimizing the clutter. A Princeton University report suggests that people who work in a clean and organized environment give better results than those who work in a cluttered one; it is because the clutter distracts them, and they lose focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Block hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following a schedule is always ideal. Divide your time in a way that you have sufficient hours to complete your work, interact with your family and friends, and relax; after all, effective time management is the key to a healthy lifestyle.<br \/>\nFollowing a rigid timeline can be stressful, so keep your timetable flexible but try to do as much as the day allows. Always make time for your hobbies and activities beyond college and work, never lose touch with your true self.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Smart Multitasking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, we\u2019ve all come across many articles talking about the cons of multitasking, and we can\u2019t deny that it is not the best alternative, as some tasks require your undivided attention. However, you can club simple tasks together, without compromising on the result and have more time in hand, like working out and listening to the news. Multitasking can be very effective if done mindfully.<\/p>\n<p>And Above everything else, don\u2019t forget to cut yourself some slack! Always reserve alone time to let yourself breathe. Being productive in no shape means that you have to work day in and day out; it only implies that you do your work with complete dedication, without draining yourself in the process. The times can get tough, and as more and more people are forced to work from home, it is natural to feel tired and low on energy. Along with working and studying, do what makes you happy and keeps you sane during this rough patch.<\/p>\n<p>Click Now to Know More About The Sports School: [maxbutton id=&#8221;1&#8243; ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After years of dealing with the chaos and buzz of working in offices, traveling in the never-ending traffic, waking up early for schools and colleges, and being on your toes the entire day, this new development of working and studying from home came as a chance to relax for many.
