"Working from home sounds perfect on paper. No commute. Flexible hours. Taking meetings in sweatpants. But reality hits fast when you work remotely. The bed looks way more appealing than that report due in an hour. Your focus starts to drift. Your to-do list grows. And you end up clocking out way later than you would in a physical office."
"Working from the couch feels ultra-cozy. But it's a focus killer. You get distracted by the TV. Or the snacks in the kitchen. Or the pile of laundry waiting for you. That's why it's much better to have a dedicated workspace. It signals your brain that it's time to work. It can be as simple as a corner desk. Then, keep all your work essentials there, like your laptop and notebook. When you sit in that space, you'll engage automatically."
Remote work often blurs time and lowers focus, making the bed or distractions more appealing and stretching work hours. Create small routines to anchor the day and habit-stack new behaviors onto existing actions, such as brewing coffee before writing a to-do list or stretching before checking emails. Use a dedicated workspace to signal the brain to switch into work mode and keep work essentials in that spot. Implement time blocks to assign focused chunks for tasks, reducing drift between activities and making workflow more predictable and productive.
