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.

Scan to USB/SD - RICOH MFP Feature

Scan to USB/SD is a Ricoh scan function enabling users to scan documents directly to a USB memory device or an SD card. How does it work? From supported Ricoh multifunction products (MFPs) with USB/SD slots, users insert their USB/SD card, and follow the instructions on the operation panel to scan their document to the memory device.  When the user removes their USB/SD card from the MFP, they can access their scanned files immediately with their PC, laptop, or other mobile device. Which file formats are supported? Scan to USB/SD supports PDF/A, single-page TIFF, JPEG, PDF, and high compression PDFs, as well as multi page TIFF, PDF and high compression PDF file formats. Can the scan be enlarged or reduced? Ricoh MFPs with a GWNX controller allow users to automatically reduce or enlarge the size of their scan to a different supported paper size. For example, an A4 size document can be scanned to A5 paper size. This is ideal to save both storage space, and paper, if the document will be p

User authentication - RICOH

User authentication is a process for authorised users to validate that they are who they say they are, by some pre-arranged criteria. Typically, user authentication is required to allow access to electronic devices, networks, or services. A common user authentication process is accessing bank accounts at an automatic teller machine (ATM). This requires us to enter a bank-issued security card, followed by a personal identification number (PIN) at the keypad. Because user authentication is a part of daily life, the requirement for user authentication to access office automation equipment at work is a standard expectation. User authentication methods Supported Ricoh multifunction products (MFPs) provide four methods to control user access: Windows authentication LDAP authentication Basic authentication User codes.   Windows authentication Users are required to log on to the device using their existing Windows network username and password. Only users with a valid username and password can
