Managing your time wisely when going back into the office
Getting back into the office and a routine isn’t the easiest thing, let alone spending your time wisely in the office while you are there. Today, we provide you five tips for spending your time wisely when you are back in the office!
Tip #1: Have a work routine and stick with it!
Routines allow us to function to enable us to focus, complete tasks, and meet deadlines that are needed for the office. These routines also allow us to release stress and focus on the present moment rather than the distractions around us. In getting back into the office, find a way that works best for you and your schedule that you can commit to.
Tip #2: Give yourself lots of time!
Just like the first day of school, you don’t want to be late or feel rushed. When you feel rushed, you will feel anxious or forget something that won’t allow you to be relaxed when going into the office for the first time after a long time. Be at the office early so you can get organized for your day, plan the day, and get started on any work.
Tip #3: Bring your headphones!
After working from home for multiple months, you’ve had your fair share of distractions. Bringing headphones to the office will allow you to focus on your work during busy times when deadlines are due. Creating a playlist is a significant first step to allowing yourself to concentrate in the office with the allotted time.
Tip #4: Use a day or monthly planner!
Using a planner will allow you to stay organized even in the midst of what seems like craziness. Having a planner will also enable you to plan into the coming weeks and months, see what goals you have ahead, and how you will accomplish them.
Tip #5: Prioritize your tasks!
Writing out what tasks you need to get done that are important and urgent versus tasks that can wait some time is critical to managing your time. Outlining what duties are essential will allow you to focus solely on those tasks without getting distracted while accomplishing what you need to get done successfully.
