Remote Working Toolkit

Workspace Environment ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿชด๐ŸŒž

  • Find a cozy, well-lit spot thatโ€™s quiet and bright for your workspace. Opt for minimal noise and plenty of natural light to boost your focus and productivity.
  • Use a quality headset with noise cancellation for clear calls.
  • Good lighting is keyโ€”not just for looking good on video calls, but to prevent eye strain.
  • Invest in ergonomic furnitureโ€”a comfy chair and a solid desk are essential for good posture and reducing strain during long work sessions.

Network & Availability ๐Ÿ“ถ ๐Ÿ“… ๐ŸŸข

  • Ensure you have a reliable internet connection, and consider a backup to avoid disruptions.
  • Maintaining a clear and updated Slack profile is key. Always notify your manager or the team youโ€™re working with if youโ€™re unavailable or stepping away, and make sure your Slack status reflects your current availability.
  • Mark your leaves promptly to ensure your team is informed, keeping communication seamless and avoiding any confusion.

Health & Well-being ๐Ÿ•’๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”„

  • Stick to a consistent work schedule to enhance productivity, even with flexible hours.
  • Keep a small water bottle at your desk to stay hydrated and remind yourself to move around.
  • Take 15-minute breaks to stretch, walk, or simply step away from your screen to help your eyes relax.
  • Establish rituals to start and end your workday, like a short walk or a cup of tea, to create structure and routine.

Work-Life Balance ๐Ÿ’ผ ๐Ÿ  ๐Ÿ›Œ

  • Define your work hours and personal time clearly. Avoid multitasking with leisure activities like watching TV while working, as it can reduce productivity.
  • Keep work out of your bed or bedroom to maintain a clear boundary between work and relaxation.
