Working from home can seem like a fun and easy way to spend your working hours. There is no need to travel, share an office or adapt to teamwork. You are responsible for how you coordinate, organize and carry out your work.
This is the advantage of working from home.
Achieve the desired level of productivity without a clear work schedule.
This article will be a guide for those making the transition from 9 to 5 as freelancers and for those who are already working from home but are having a hard time adjusting. Let’s take a closer look at daily habits you can practice to be more productive when working from home.
1. Morning Routine
It’s important to start the day more productively during working hours. Productivity starts as soon as you wake up in the morning, so establish a power routine.
Here’s what you need to do:
• Set an alarm for a specific time in the morning.
• Get up at least an hour earlier than you should be at your home office.
• Eat a healthy breakfast.
• To exercise.
• Listen to upbeat music.
• Take care of the little things around the house.
Don’t sit directly in front of the computer in your bed. Establish a routine of healthy habits to set up your daily routine.
2. Get Dressed
Wearing pajamas to work is one of the misconceptions about remote work. It reduces your productivity and makes you feel at home rather than at work.
Technically, you’re still at home, but you have to draw a line between your personal self and your professional self.
Therefore, before you start working from home, you must:
• Get out of your pajamas.
• Wear real office uniforms.
• Do your makeup or do your hair.
Your appearance will remind you that you are working. It will boost your professional energy and help you stay productive until the end of the day.
3. Deal With Family
Family members are the biggest problem for freelancers and telecommuters working from home.
It’s fun to be with you and spend time with your family, but when it comes to work, your family has to give you some space.
However, you need to approach this issue in terms of time and space as you work and set some ground rules. Talk about things like:
• Do not enter your home office except in an emergency.
• Save while you work.
• Provide the mental support you need to stay productive.
• Helps you focus.

4. Rest
Just like any other office, you need a break from all the hard work. Rest is important to relax the brain and allow it to continue working productively until the job is done.
Therefore, you need to establish a routine to relax and pass your time.
• Decide to rest at certain times of the day.
• Specify a period.
• Test for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1 hour.
• Use it wisely: get some fresh air, take a walk with the kids, play outside with your dog, or ride a bike.
Active relaxation in the fresh air will contribute to further productivity. Be sure to spend your free time on the computer and in the office.
5. Eat Well
Food is one of the most important factors in leading a healthy life and staying productive throughout the day. You can’t expect to work the hardest when you’re hungry.
Hunger causes fatigue and causes a lack of concentration and energy. In order not to upset your eating habits, you must ensure that you eat well.
Here are some things to think about.
• A healthy and nutritious breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Prepare a delicious breakfast with beans, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, smoothies, French toast, fresh vegetables, and more.
• Refreshing as a snack
Prepare a healthy and energy snack before going to work or place a banana on your desk.
• Lunch during breaks
After lunch, freshen up and get back to work rested.
Don’t underestimate the importance of food as it helps you stay balanced and productive throughout the day.
