A lot of us are working from home\u2014either part-time or full-time. We all want to remain focused and productive while we do, but it\u2019s not easy. In fact, sometimes it\u2019s really, really hard. From challenges in team communication and collaboration to Zoom fatigue to juggling needs at home. It\u2019s a lot! And it can be exhausting.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t always have to be. You can be just as focused and productive working remotely as working in an office\u2014and sometimes more so. Based on nearly a decade of working remotely and leading remote teams, we\u2019ve learned a few things. With these recommendations, you won\u2019t have to fumble for solutions and can get laser focused on your work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are four tools you need for successful remote work:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A Task-Management System<\/b><\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s Asana, Trello, Basecamp, or Monday.com, there are tons of options to choose from. But the bottom line is, you need a central place to view and manage all of your work. These tools are flexible and adaptable to your specific project needs. They ensure nothing falls through the cracks, and everyone\u2019s on the same page with tasks, fulfillment needs, and deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A White-Noise Machine<\/b><\/h3>\n

These aren\u2019t just great for sleeping babies. A white-noise machine is a game changer for trying to get work done at home, especially if family members are around or you have to be on a call. Common noises from home life can be hard to avoid, but a white-noise machine helps drown them out. Place it right outside the door of the room you\u2019re working in, and you\u2019ll find yourself less distracted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Headphones<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re going to get in a quiet zone in your home, especially with other people present, headphones are a must. Whether it\u2019s a pair of AirPods, earbuds, or over-the-ear noise-canceling headphones, this tool both creates a barrier of privacy to work and communicates to others you\u2019re working. Even if no one is home or there\u2019s very little noise around you, putting on headphones can get you into the right zone and mindset to get work done.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. A Plan<\/b><\/h3>\n

Rarely do we stumble into our accomplishments and success; getting there requires intentionality. You need a plan for how you\u2019ll tackle your day. If you know you have to take calls or be in meetings, don\u2019t work in a coffee shop that day. If things at home will be extra loud with kids, plan on working somewhere else for the day. If you feel your attention is being scattered, split your time between environments to reset your focus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The world has changed and, therefore, so has our approach to work. If you\u2019re new to remote work, be encouraged. It\u2019s possible to do it successfully and enjoyably. There are more tools now than ever to ensure that happens.<\/span><\/p>\n
