Working from home: there's no easy trick or secret, it just takes time - Business Insider

I've been working from home for years, and there's no real "trick" or magic pill to make it easier.

The best tip I can give to people who are new to working from home is to set a hard cut-off time to end the work day. It's easy to keep working and burn yourself out if you don't have your usual commute home to declare the end of the day. As a "WFH" veteran, I've been asked what kinds of rituals and routines I partake in, and what tools I use to perform at home as well as I do at the office. If you were looking to unlock the mystical secrets to working from home effectively, prepare to be sorely disappointed, because there's nothing to it. I've seen numerous articles and blog posts telling those new to working from hom how to do it.

Over time, after just a month or so, working from home became second nature. It's almost like settling into a new office at a new job — there's the initial pressure, stress, and uncertainty, but then you get into a rhythm and flow.From my laptop or desktop, I can do 100% of what I need to do for my job. I have a web browser , I have Slack loaded up for staying in constant communication with my team, and I have all the apps and tools I need.

Some people say they need to get dressed up to go to work, even if that's a home office. I recommend anything that will make you most comfortable to do your work well — and be presentable on conference calls. I wear sweatpants, a t-shirt, and some comfy slippers.

I turn on the TV at a low volume, usually to something passive like a nature documentary or a sports game I don't care about, to create a little background noise in the atmosphere, which helps with feelings of solitude.If I do have one useful tip, it's to set a hard cut-off time to end your work day, and begin your personal mode.
