Tips on working remotely

Whether you’re just starting out or have been doing it for a while, working remotely can be both challenging and deeply rewarding at the same time. Setting yourself up into a remote routine and putting strategies in place to assist you in running your “office” are the foundations of remote success. Read on to find out how you can make it work for you and up your business game. 
 

1. Organise and structure your tasks – look at your to-do list and prioritise what needs to be completed each day. Utilise the beginning of your day to tackle your most difficult and pressing tasks, as this will be the time when you are most productive. Having a structure (and sticking to it) will help keep you accountable and focused. Try applying InTune® Roll On Focus Blend to your temples and the back of your neck when doing tasks that require extra attention.
    
2. Establishing your office – Stepping into your “office” should be a ritual. Whether or not this is at a kitchen table or a room in your house, you should set yourself up for success by creating an environment that encourages productivity for you. Try diffusing doTERRA Motivate® Encouraging Blend when you are looking to support your inner confidence, courage, and belief.
    
3. Set your hours – When working remotely, it’s easy to lose track of time. Plan out your day with clearly defined start and finish times while factoring in regular breaks. Stepping away from a task can help you return to it with a clearer frame of mind. Going for a walk, eating a meal or meditating are great ways to refresh and reset. 
   
   
4. Communication is key – Even though working remotely can seem solitary at times, technology allows us to communicate more effectively and freely than ever before. Utilising programs such as Zoom can help ensure that you and your team remain connected and focused. Embracing greater use of technology can create more business opportunities and is a more efficient use of your time.

Working remotely is a rapidly growing trend in the world today. While it has its challenges, it also provides a realistic alternative to the conventional workplace and offers greater freedom, flexibility and opportunity. We hope that the above tips help make remote working work for you.
