Many #Houstonians are working from home during the #COVID19 #StayHome #WorkSafe order, which was extended through April 30. Here are a few tips to help your productivity during this #CoronaVirus pandemic: ✔️ Set up your workspace. Find an area in your home that's conducive to working, whether it's a desk or the couch. Just make sure it allows you to stay focused. ✔️ Stick to your routine. Wake up early, take a shower, have breakfast or a cup of coffee. This helps prepare your mind and body for a productive day of working. ✔️ Have a to-do list. Write down everything you would like to accomplish that day. Then get to work checking the items off of your list. ✔️ Communicate. Check-in with your boss and colleagues from time to time. Update them on your schedule and deliverables, especially if there are any changes. ✔️ Take breaks. The key is balance. Give yourself enough time during the day to walk away from your computer screen and phone. Move around, take a step back, and don't forget to clock out at the end of your shift.

An essential list of work from home tools:
1. A dedicated workspace
2. A computer
3. A good internet connection
4. Video conferencing and chat apps
5. Earphones or a headset
6. Self-discipline and a healthy, productive mindset

Let's help #StopTheSpread by staying indoors and working remotely if we can.
