Teleworking has become a real professional lifestyle in these times of pandemic. Many people have been doing it for years. Some have adopted it since the start of the health crisis linked to COVID-19, while others will soon discover it. If you are in this third case, various questions may cross your mind. Find out everything you need to know about this remote way of working.

Have the necessary equipment

Working from home is, in most cases, like using a computer and an Internet connection. You will be able to stay in direct contact with colleagues and managers thanks to IT tools.

Try to have your own PC to avoid sharing it with children, for example. Also, your computer is not at risk of being infected by viruses if you are the only one using it in the house.

Keep your focus

One of the biggest challenges when working from home is keeping your focus throughout the day. Indeed, the temptations are numerous: taking a break that can turn into a nap, watching a 90-minute soccer match on TV, giving in to the whims of children and playing with them all morning...

You need to know how to stay focused by imposing strict rules on yourself. Try to stay focused on your work during office hours to free yourself more quickly. Tell your children not to disturb you at certain hours and limit your movements around the house as much as possible, as you may easily lose focus.

Organize your environment

This is about setting up your small workspace at home to put yourself in the best possible arrangements. Choose a relatively quiet area in the house, away from the hustle and bustle of children and pets to set up your desk.

That way, you don't risk colleagues and superiors seeing your small family running around in every direction during a video meeting. You will also be in the best position to focus on your work during the day.
