- Because boundaries are fuzzy, you could either burn out or not get anything done.
More people are foregoing a lengthy commute and working from home. But sometimes, like during the coronavirus outbreak we’re experiencing now, you may actually have to work from home. Whether you are a full-time freelancer or the occasional telecommuter, working outside an office can be a challenge. What are the best ways to set yourself up for success? How do you stay focused and productive? And how do you keep your work life separate from your home life?
Based on the following HBR.org articles:

You explained the dedicated workspace really well. I think its one of the most essential parts to working from home
I started working from home during quarantine. I have to say, I really love working from home. These are great tips to be effective while working from home. Great video!
Great video. I liked not only the advice, but also the editing. I talk about setting boundaries a lot on my channel. I think when working from home this is one of the most critical things one needs to do, together with more communication.
It's 4:34 a.m. this is my 3rd day working from home after 20 years of getting up and going somewhere dragging babies out in the cold finding babysitters getting somewhere where I had to be for doctors appointment to picking someone up running a rat race. And now I work from home this is gonna take some getting used to! I already miss taking the bus I already miss talking with people and I don't even like people that much..... And then I cleaned my bathroom and folded laundry on my break who does that? Forgot to mention on the 1st day the large amount of day dreaming holy smokes talk about wasting time... its 4:41 a.m. this is gonna be a long day
Good stuff! So true!
Thank you for making this video! 🤓👍
What an apt timing for this video.
Useful tips presented in a fun way...thank you!
Thanks 😊 a ton . It's the right video to see at the right time to balance work productivity and being oneself with content..
Very respectful isolation
My main problem is actually stop working. I just can't seem to get the things I want done in less than 8 hours
Best video I have come across so far on this topic. Thank you!
Awesome tips! Pretty much how I’ve been operating for sometime now.
Great tips for some but will take a bit of time to adjust for multiple family members working from home or those who have limited space in extended families. Good luck to all.
Great video, thanks for sharing
🐶barks and he is like: enough! Wrap it up and play with me! 😂
That dog is a star!!!!
This was incredibly helpful, especially because you can send it to your roommate as a fun hint. I love you but I'm at the office buddy.
Very helpful video. Thanks
Thank you!
The only way I can find some alone time behind a closed door in my tiny-ass apartment is if I work in the bathroom. That would make for some uncomfortable zoom meetings. XD
Yeah. A lot ideas in one video.
Thanks
Great tips! Your dog is adorable.
That was great. Hope Buddy keeps making appearances in the videos!
Great content! Thank you for sharing!
Good tips in the video. The first months at home I always worked too much because I always thought I had to work even more.
Thank you
That's quite a cute dog. I love it.
I'm worried that my dog is going to find it very hard to adjust when i go back to work. I've been trying to put him outside but if he knows I'm in the house, he cries haha. I've tried doing it and hiding as well, cries less but still does little cries.
Gday mates I am worried, too. My dogs and my cat follow me around all day.
@@MothMediaSocialMedia I've since started putting him in m y bedroom for half the day to sleep and letting him out in the lounge area where I am for the rest of the day. I always move his bed and mostly he stays in there. That way it creates a personal boundary between us so he isn't in my space. It seems to be working. I just went out for a bike ride on my lunch break and I heard him woof once (mostly annoyed that I left him inside haha). So funny when they do that 1 little "how dare you" bark.
My dog is just a lot better with me because he just sleeps on my feet but when he’s locked out of the room he takes the paint of the door because he can’t be away from me lol he’s still a puppy he’s also a lab but just Attached to each other
Literally not possible to shut the door on my dogs, they know I'm in there and will howl if they have to. One trick is to exercise them in the morning before starting work just as if you were going out to work. Then after food/exercise they will sleep!
Good tips!
Your dog is amazing!
Thank you so much :)
Great Insights !!
Great video, good advice... also... ZEPPELIN!!!
Awesome dude

I loved the video I am Brazilian and I recently got to know the channel and sorry for the pronunciation and the writing if I am wrong I am now learning to speak English with the videos I can better understand English and speak it too
you're doing great! keep it up!
Nice, good tips, but ... does not work when your very limited space is not your own, or your small children are sharing everything with you, including the washroom, bedroom, desk space. Then .. nothing gets done!!!
Discipline is key. And music is fine if it's not distracting.
Thanks! This is so true. You are so adorable and very informative.
Me: Plays video
Me working from home on my kitchen table in the living room/kitchen space: oh
Fancy French press, fancy French bulldog! I cried when he got locked out. 😭
Thanks for this video, I enjoyed it a lot and will try to make Celebrate your wins a new habit of mine... Thank you!! :)
My dog is going to suffer big time when I have to go back to work. He’s a lab chihuahua and very sociable. That’s my biggest fear when the lockdown ends is that he’s going to be really depressed when I’m no longer there with him 24/7. And of course I’m gonna miss his company as well.
Your dog is soooooooo fricking cute 💜💜💜
Baby pug is soooo cute that's all I remember in the video 😂😂😂
I have a WFH role coming up. I love structure but I have being getting into a solid routine most days of the week. I pretend I am working from home for when the role starts. I finish at 5pm then I turn everything off and get out and excericse
"You may actually work too much..."
Me: "Hmmmm...yeah...that could happen..."

I just started to work from home a few months ago. This is the first video I watched and took tips from. My work schedule is routine like it was working in the office, but I can't seem to focus on my work and production like I need to. With or without music some many things are going through my mind and I have times when I can't seem to focus. Any tips?
try keeping a journal nearby. you can jot those random thoughts down on paper and set them aside to deal with later.
I love your dog:)
thanks for the tips and sharing you affinity for Zeppelin..LOL

Maybe now our families will realize we are working and not available for silly errands just because we are home. I have always worked at home (crippled unhirable but self supportive), and the ridiculous demands, put-down comments at family gatherings about a "real job".....
Thanks for the obvious.
good content
Nice
This dog is such an actor.
I’m living with my sister and her best friend in a one room apartment. Kitchen and living room with tv are the same room. Do you have tips to be focused when others are watching netflix or cooking just a few meters apart?
Try making a defined space with a desk and chair. Communicate with your roommates on why office hours should be quiet and respectful. Lastly, noise canceling headphones work like a dream. Best of luck!
Keep moving
I cant with this dog 😭❤😂 so cute !!!!! Great tips xx
Also jobs that let you make your own hours are wonderful. You can push all your work for 16 hours on Monday, and then boom, rest of the week off :3
nothing wrong with music. in fact i use it to signal that i am working and the. door. cannot. be knocked. also, it keeps outside noises out and my conversations, a few of which might be highly confidential, remain within the room
A fan can be used for additional white noise to assist confidentiality.
Watched a lot of productivity working from home videos. Advices are more or less the same.. but forgotten one major thing that’s stopping the productivity, internet bandwidth. It’s like waiting on a queue number for outlook to release an email or inbox just stop updated since hours ago..
AndreaHyun The companies are slowing doen on purpose
It is difficult to establish a workspace when you live in a studio appartment.. why is it so hard to focus for me?
Do you know a company called Cyient has used your video as part of their learning portal
My promblem is my mom is disabled and is always calling me so I can’t ever focus
the dog made this video!

*privilege of working from home
WFH softwares should allow user to download average quality audio,i read an article and know few instances in which superiors call subordinates for brainstorming,steal their ideas for promotion.
I can definitely relate. But having a CUTEEE dog is really hard to focus when working from home!
Btw, we have made a new working from home productivity tips video in our new channel. Please support too. Thanks!
Please can I work every day because I am here because I am so tiredrs rayan
I am definitely not watching this while working from home
Maynard James Keenan?
yes, you can go ahead and work too much, meanwhile I try to work from home, study from home, home cooked meal, tutor my kids, clean my house, pick up after everyone, break up fights, keep everyone quiet so my husband can work, entertain, try to work some more, one eye on the work, one eye on the kids, wipe a butt, make a snack.
Does your husband do all that for you while *you* work and study? Does he make meals? Tutor kids? Clean house? Break up fights? Wipe butts? Make snacks?
Why *not*?! What is he doing while you are doing all that? What is he doing while you are working and studying?
Thank god all I have to do is answer the phone 😂
I need to know home jobs that are easy and I can do from home
Very useful guideline. I also prefer genuine way for work from home here: offerinworld.blogspot.com/p/genuine-work-from-home-ideas.html?m=1
@@zahidurrahmanjony4562 Thank you I actually am starting out on something today it will be small and hopefully grow! Thank you for this link!
Haha, for some reason this cracked me up. All this nonsense about how we should work from home is a joke when you’ve got young kids. It just places the onus on employees to find a solution to the problems we’re all experiencing. I’d like to see one of these videos for single parents with young kids 😆
Work at the office: Extra commute to drop kids at day care or babysitter and pick up after work. Pay for work hours plus commute time between office and day care. Pay extra if work runs late.
Work at home: Same, but no commute time between day care and office, so less time at day care=lower cost.
OR hire a babysitter, trade babysitting with someone in the same position, or work something out with a family member. Pay a lot less! No commute at all!
Either way, it seems the same or better....
It hurt me when she said LOOK 🙏🏼 to the puppy
work form home
its noooot easy cause too much distractions :P anyone think so also ?:D

Who cut your hair,the council?
Woman gives solid advice in an entertaining video. Man criticizes her hair.
P.S. Mark--Although you did make me laugh, I'm pretty sure she's not interested in your opinion of her hair. *I* think she's cute. And smart.
