5 Tips for Successfully Working Remotely

Houston Business Consulting for Women Entrepreneurs

1. Create a productive workspace – If you plan on working remotely on a regular basis, make sure you create a dedicated, quiet spot for you to work, without distractions. Ensure you have all the equipment and stationary you need at hand (such as a printer, pen and paper), so you can get stuck into your work without having to stop and start.

2. Stay organised – Ensure that any meetings with colleagues and managers are added into your calendar. Also make sure you plan the tasks you need to carry out each day, so you have a list to work through methodically. You could try using tools such as Freedcamp to easily track your time and help stay on schedule.

3. Keep communicating – Just because you are not physically in the office, it doesn’t mean all communication should stop. There are so many ways to communicate with people remotely, from simply picking up the phone, to email, Skype, GoToMeeting and Google Hangouts.

4. Collaborate – Even when you’re working remotely, you can still work as a team and collaborate on projects. There are lots of different tools available to help you discuss ideas, track progress, share documents and much more. Start by taking a look at DropBox, Zoho Projects, Trello, Slack and Huddle.

5. Get out of the house – This may seem slightly counterintuitive, but ensure you do occasionally get out of the house, even if it’s just for a quick walk for some fresh air or to grab a coffee. It will help to refresh your focus and keep you motivated for the rest of the day. Don’t forget that you can still meet up with colleagues too for face-to-face meetings if you feel it will help, as well as those rewarding Friday afternoon drinks!
