Steps
Doing a simple task at home.
- Remove any potential distractions. Whether it is the TV, your phone or any other device, or even Netflix. It is a good idea to turn these off or put them in "do not disturb" mode while you work on a task. If your family and friends tend to distract you, politely tell them to not disturb you for the time being.
- Create a space where you can easily complete work or tasks. This will help you be less distracted by any activities in the rest of the house or outdoors. Make it simplistic, include only the bare essentials.
- Do not procrastinate and try to keep yourself focused on the task at hand. Thoughts like "I will do it tomorrow" will only serve to push back other activities. It is better to complete the important tasks first and do things that are of less importance after. If you finish a task, consider rewarding yourself with a treat or a show to keep you motivated.
- Stay hydrated! Hydration keeps motivation high and the brain functioning. Dehydration can lead to counterproductive activities and health issues. A snack or two can help with hunger and keep you focused.
- While at home, maintain hygiene and follow direct rules from the government. If you tend to have anxiety about the world issues of today, visit this article about calming anxiety https://www.wikihow.com/Deal-with-Coronavirus-Anxiety.
- After you finish that task, you can head to the next task.
Multiple tasks to be completed
- Do the important ones first, and the less important tasks later if you have multiple tasks to complete. Create a schedule for completing tasks and for taking breaks.
- Ask for help over an online call or ask a family member for help if you're having difficulty with a task.
- Don't procrastinate and remain focused on what you are doing. Losing focus will often end with you doing the task last minute. If you do manage to remain focused, be sure to motivate and reward yourself so you can keep going.
- Put on calm music, something along the lines of soft jazz or white noise rain sounds. Go outside in your backyard and enjoy the fresh air while being safe. After that, you can focus on the task, however, taking breaks for too long can often result in procrastination. Try to accept what's happening in the world with the virus, but do not forget about the social distancing, masks, and personal hygiene that is required. These are essential for the safety and health of both yourself and others.
- Turn the task in or finish the task. Be productive and reward yourself for doing it while in quarantine. Always remember that you are helping others by staying home.
Tips
- Organize your routine no matter if you have online yoga or online school so you don't get confused when it comes to the times of your activities.
- Make an online study/task group with friends and others to help with the same subject you are working on.
- Productivity can go away, so always try to maintain the task you do.
