Here we are still in lockdown and “working from home”. What exactly does that mean? Let’s look at some things impacting working from home.
Distractions-your children, their children, the guy somewhere in the street who keeps pounding on his drum set without letup, the car with the noisy exhaust pipe being “warmed up” for 30mins before being driven, barking dogs who join one another around the neighborhood in a parody of the nun’s chorus, white cockatoo mobs perching on the fence squawking in the dawn, midday and sundown encouraged by the neighbor who intermittently illegally feeds them (there goes another orange off my tree , quick shoo them away and get out the bird net).
Procrastination-morning – I’m tired, I’ll start a half hour late and make it up at lunch; lunch-a person’s got to eat and take time to clear his head, I’ll knock off a half hour later plus another 10 minutes from lunch, knock-off-man I’m tired, I’ll start earlier tomorrow.
Children-enough said.
Any of these things are what those running a business or working from home contend with on a daily basis. So, how do we deal with it? Try making a list of the things that are causing you a problem on one side of the page, leave at least 4 lines between each. Then list all the solutions to each problem. Pick the one/s that will work and PUT THEM INTO ACTION. IMMEDIATELY. NOW. DO IT!
