TIPS TO WORK FORM HOME SUCCESFULLY DURING LOCKDOWN


TIPS TO WORK FORM HOME SUCCESFULLY DURING LOCKDOWN


If you’d been told in January that you’d be able to work from home for months on end – dodging overcrowded trains and office politics in the process – it might have sounded like a start-of-the-year bonus. The reality, of course, is not so enjoyable. As the world adjusts to the coronavirus pandemic, one of the biggest changes is enforced home working.
Staying motivated, retaining work-life balance and video conference etiquette are just some of the challenges. As a result, the reality of working from home has been intensified, to which effect I wanted to provide you with some of the tips to help you succeed whilst working from home:
Structure Your Day Like Normal

Routine and structure are crucial to making the quarantine period tolerable, and that starts with your sleep. Resist the urge to hit the snooze button.

Do something positive with the time you saved from your commute, such as cooking a healthy lunch or going for a jog. Set a wake-up time

Take a shower

A shower is a great way to get focused in the morning & we will become fully awake and focused as well as maintain personal hygiene.


Dress for the job you still have

Fashion doesn’t really exist when the world is on lockdown, but psychologists recommend you get dressed for work rather than joining those video calls in your PJs. More than just keeping up appearances, it helps to put your brain in work mode.

Don’t skip the shower, either. There’s bracing evidence to suggest that a cold shower can boost your mood and attention.


Set a routine

Setting a routine is very important & need to work as per schedule.

This is difficult to do under normal circumstances. It’s even harder to do when your kids are at home as schools are shut because of the Coronavirus epidemic.
Create boundaries

Do what you can to physically separate your working space from your living space, especially if you have kids at home. Even the shortest distraction can kill your productivity. Explain why it's important for you to avoid interruptions. Train kids and keep them occupied so themselves avoid interruptions.

Learn something new

Work is likely to slow down for many people during the pandemic but this in itself can create an opportunity. Think about what else you can do during this period to develop competence building.

Schedule and take part in training sessions and indulge in team building spirit.

ECO Night Sensor

ECO Night Sensor Ricoh’s ECO Night Sensor is an energy saving feature that works by detecting the amount of ambient light in the room. Depending on available settings in a Ricoh device, it automatically turns off the device’s main power, or shifts it to Energy Saver Mode, when the amount of light falls below a certain level. The latest version of ECO Night Sensor also turns the power on when the amount of light increases. The sensor detects the increase and fall of both natural and artificial light, significantly reducing the device’s power consumption and running cost How does it work?  The sensor is located on the operation panel, and its settings can be changed at the operation panel display.

The work together, anywhere revolution – is here to stay

Ricoh’s Director of Strategy and Innovation, Mike Baddeley discusses the paradigm shift happening right now. With over 30 years in the technology industry, he’s been mapping and predicting the trends we now find ourselves implementing in weeks, rather than years. This article takes a look at how our workstyles are influencing our interaction with technology and what this means for us all. During this period of accelerated remote working, video conferencing has become the key collaboration tool for many. But more than simply connecting us for a virtual face to face has inadvertently enabled a mini social experiment. As people have begun to play with the editable background in some collaboration tools, it has become a window into where the person on the call would like to be. But how much does the choice of these backgrounds reveal about our personalities and, more than that, how much do they reveal about our human desires? Our urge to connect with people in places we dream of being. Per...
