Is Working From Home More Productive? In our Working Remotely series we share tips and advice for staying healthy and productive in a digital work world.
Working remotely from home or anywhere gives you the opportunity to organize your time differently and more effectively according to your own work rhythms.
While many managers fear that remote workers are not actually working, it may be they are simply working more productively – spending less time chatting at the water cooler and more time working efficiently which allows for some reflective downtime to research a new project or recharge for the next day.
In office interruptions can make it hard to get anything done yet it can leave you feeling exhausted. As a home office worker you will likely find a rhythm that suits you whether it’s starting at 5am and taking a long siesta after lunch or breaking down your day into scheduled blocks of time such as checking email and having meetings in the mornings and doing learning or research in the afternoons. Companies are gradually realizing that they are paying for results not time so anything goes as long as you get the work done well.
