Efficient working from home does not only mean that the necessary technology must be available. It is at least as important not to forget that even in the isolation of the home office you are still part of a team. For this reason, especially now, you should act accordingly. Greet your colleagues in the morning, arrange to meet for a virtual coffee, have lunch with your colleagues and say goodbye at the end of the day. Weekly or even daily video calls with your department also strengthen the sense of community. It's the little things that make your home office more pleasant. This increases your motivation and also the joy of work.
Furthermore, a healthy separation between workplace and private area is incredibly important. If you switch between your private and working life all day long, you won't be able to recharge your energy. That's the why you think of the days in your home office as normal working days. Get up on time, dress the same way you dress for work and sit at your desk. After your usual working hours, you can finish work and devote yourself to your private life. It is important to finish work as usual. Otherwise, the home office quickly becomes a big challenge that is difficult to handle.
