Schedule Breaks in Your Day<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re struggling to get work done from a remote location, you may think that adding <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> breaks to your day would be counterproductive. However, studies have shown that carefully scheduled work breaks can improve the quality of the work you produce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themuse.com\/advice\/take-it-from-someone-who-hates-productivity-hacksthe-pomodoro-technique-actually-works\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pomodoro Technique<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a pretty extreme, regimented version of this concept. In this technique, you. Break your day into 25-minute work periods separated by 5-minute breaks. After four rounds, you will get a longer break of 15 to 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you may find this structure a bit too intense, it\u2019s still helpful to schedule in breaks. This way, your day will feel more purposeful. Because you have set break times, you\u2019ll stop feeling aimless as you work. Instead, you\u2019ll begin working towards mini-deadlines throughout the day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.

Many remote workers make the mistake of getting a little too comfortable when working at home. While you may love the idea of grabbing your laptop and typing away while still in bed, this can be a seriously unproductive setup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to trick the mind into feeling productive, you need to feel like you are in a work environment. Set up a well-lit, organized desk in your home that will serve as your office. Be vigilant about using this area for work and only for work. This way, your muscle memory will get in the habit of treating this home office as a special place of productivity, and you should find it easier to get stuff done.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Turn Off Your Phone<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The modern world is filled with constant distractions \u2014 and most of them originate from our smartphone devices. In 2017, a shocking study revealed that Americans tend to check their phones <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2017\/11\/08\/americans-check-their-phones-80-times-a-day-study\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">once every 12 minutes on average<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. No wonder we find it so hard to concentrate and keep our levels of productivity up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your mind focused on what you\u2019re doing, remove this major distraction by turning off your device, or, even better, by sticking it in a drawer. This way, you won\u2019t be tempted to absent-mindedly open Twitter or Instagram every few minutes throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Use Video Conferencing to Maintain Contact With Colleagues<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7371\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call.jpg\" alt=\"toronto short term rental zoom call\" width=\"900\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/toronto-short-term-rental-zoom-call-440x294.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re used to working in a close-knit team, you may be finding remote working conditions pretty tricky. Working alongside colleagues can help us to feel inspired and motivated. When we get stuck, we can bounce around ideas; when we get bored, we can have a quick chat, and then get back to it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to maintain a sense of teamwork and community, try to schedule a few Zoom sessions a week with your colleagues. This will break up the monotony of at-home working, plus, it will give you a much-needed boost in energy so that you can finish off your week with high levels of productivity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Get Outside<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we commute to an office every day, we are forced to spend at least a few minutes in the fresh air. However, many remote workers find that they can go days on end without seeing the sun. Aside from the dangers of developing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/vitaminddeficiency.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vitamin D <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">definitely, a lack of outdoor time can be pretty stifling for the mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to find time to get outside for a daily walk. The fresh air and change of scenery can help you to rethink problems, while the exercise will boost your energy levels for the rest of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">downtown Toronto apartments<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are all perfectly situated near some of the city\u2019s best parks so that you can step out your door for a quick stroll, and find yourself in a green oasis in just a few short minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Discover <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto Short-Term Rentals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> With DelSuites Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you looking for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsuites.com\/locations\/toronto\">short-term rentals in Toronto<\/a>?
