9 Tips to Make Working Remotely Work for You and Your Employer T he concept of remote wo rk i ng has be en around for a long time. Many entrepreneurs have mas- tered the ability to work virtu- ally, but it is often a major chal- lenge for those who normally work in a busy office setting to shift to working outside their traditional office environment. Working remotely can feel more isolating than mingling with co-workers in an office setting. Being effective while you work remotely takes more than a mindset shift. It requires a disciplined approach to plan- ning your activities and seeking out opportunities to interact with your co-workers. Here are nine practical tips you can use to make the most of this experience. 1. Establish a Routine: Just as you have a routine in your normal workday, try to mimic this routine as you work in your remote location.

It can become easy to get distracted when you are working in a different environment, so focus on acting like you’re still working in a supervised workplace. This ap- proach will help you feel more like you are working. 2. Set up a Dedicated Workspace: Having an area in your home where you do your work is essential to success in working remotely. It is easy to become distracted by the dog, television or the pile of house- hold tasks that need to be com- pleted. When you are in your
workspace, you are working. If you combine it with following your normal worktimes, you can do a better job of staying focused. 3. Convert Commute Time to Learning Time: The time you used to spend on your com- mute is now extra time that you can use to enhance your value by learning something new. With the plethora of on- line courses and videos, you can take advantage of this “com- mute time” to enhance your skills. Even better, you might be able to get a certificate of completion that will make you even more valuable when you get back to a normal office work routine. continued on page 24A
