I try to treat remote work like an office job. I dress for the day, set up a dedicated workspace, and avoid lounging around. It helps me stay focused.

I get my hardest task done first. Once I tick that off, the rest of the day feels easier, and procrastination isn't tempting.

I find it helpful to think about a work day in terms of tangible objects as opposed to hours spent. And within that, identifying a big project that you absolutely must get done that day is a helpful practice. There's a book called "The One Thing" that is helpful in thinking about this.

Understand what is behind your procrastination, usually it’s not the task itself but fear of failure, distractions or not finding any meaning in the task

I make sure to make breaks to breaks to recharge. A quick walk or stretch can reset my focus, so I don't procrastinate out of frustration or burnout.

I set small goals and work accordingly. I challenge myself quite often.

It’s all about minimizing distractions. I use apps to block social media during work hours, so I'm less likely to get sidetracked.

I find breaking my tasks into smaller steps really helps. It's easier to start when the task doesn't feel so overwhelming.

Even if it's a corner of your room, having a designated workspace helps signal to your brain that it's time to work. 🥰

I stick to a consistent schedule, including wake-up times, work hours, and breaks. This helps create a sense of structure and discipline :)
