5 working from home distractions to avoid
Most employees who work from home will admit they face some obstacles when they’re trying to work. Here are the top five distractions their managers should warn them to avoid:
- Sleeping in – Employees should treat a day of working from home the same as a day of working in the office. That means getting plenty of rest and getting up ready to work.
- Unstructured breaks – When telecommuting, it’s much easier to step away from the desk at any time. But workers should stick to their normal break routine when they’re home.
- Entertainment – Let telecommuters know: Just because they’re working near a TV doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to work with the TV on.
- Family – This can be the toughest distraction to avoid, but telecommuters need to politely tell family and friends that they’re “at work” even when they’re home.
- Chores – Seeing a pile of unfolded laundry can make it tempting to stop working, but employees need to learn to save household tasks for after business hours.
