How to Stay Productive & Motivated While Working From Home

Since the onset of COVID-19, organisations have had to make rapid and significant adjustments to the way they operate. These changes have had a profound impact on employees’ health and emotional wellbeing, with many professionals facing greater challenges than ever before.


As lockdowns and remote working became the norm, the question shifted from “How do we work from home?” to “How do we stay motivated, focused, and productive while doing so?”


Working from home (WFH) offers flexibility, but it can also blur the lines between work and personal life. Without the right strategies, employees may feel overwhelmed, distracted, or disconnected. To help you maintain focus and balance, we’ve created a practical guide to support both individuals and managers in navigating remote work successfully.


  1. Productivity Tips for Working from Home
    Learn simple yet effective techniques to structure your day, minimise distractions, and create a workspace that sets you up for success.
  2. An Example Daily Schedule
    See how you can plan your day in a way that balances deep focus, collaboration, and personal time. A well-structured routine is key to staying consistent.
  3. WFH Checklist
    A quick reference tool to ensure you’ve covered the essentials—from technology setup to workspace ergonomics—before you start your day.
  4. Advice for Managers
    Managers play a critical role in supporting remote teams. We share strategies to keep employees engaged, maintain open communication, and foster team connection even when working apart.
  5. Self-Care Strategies
    Staying productive isn’t only about efficiency—it’s also about maintaining mental and physical wellbeing. From incorporating breaks to setting boundaries, self-care is vital for long-term success while working remotely.


Final Thoughts

Working from home may be here to stay, but with the right approach, it doesn’t have to come at the cost of productivity or wellbeing. By adopting practical strategies, setting clear boundaries, and prioritising self-care, employees and managers alike can thrive in a remote environment.
