Vratislav Holub Unfortunately, for the last year we have been plagued by the unrelenting pandemic of the disease COVID-19. In order to limit its spread, governments around the world are issuing all kinds of measures, which have resulted in, for example, the closure of various businesses and the so-called "face-to-face" contact of people has been greatly reduced. When people inevitably have to meet afterwards, it is a matter of course to wear a mask or respirator. Of course, education and employers had to react to such significant changes. While pupils and students moved to so-called distance learning, employers reached for the good old "home office” or work from home.

Although the home office sounds like a brilliant idea that is surrounded by benefits, the reality is often unfortunately different. It is precisely in the home environment that we have to face various disturbing factors, which goes hand in hand with significantly reduced productivity. In today's article, we will therefore focus on the most basic tips for managing work from home as best as possible and on the wonderful possibilities that are available to us today.
Peace and a minimum of disturbing elements
The transition from a standard office to a home office can be a huge challenge for many people. In the home environment, we can encounter the mentioned number of disturbing elements. This is precisely why it is practically most important to prepare your workplace appropriately. We should always try to keep the table tidy, because even though it doesn't seem like it, even the smallest little thing can disturb us.
Of course, various notifications are also related to this. That's exactly why it pays to activate Do Not Disturb mode on both your Mac and iPhone to avoid possible interruptions. As an example, we can mention, for example, the moment when a notification from a social network "beeps" on our iPhone. At such a moment, we can tell ourselves that, for example, replying to one message will not slow us down in any way. However, we can quite easily find ourselves in a situation where we get stuck over the network for a few minutes and thus lose our previous concentration.
Divide work and household
Another problem in the home office can be other household members and housework. This is precisely why it is necessary to separate work and personal life to a certain extent, when we set aside fixed working hours for work itself, with which we familiarize our colleagues and family, or other roommates. During this time, we should work as quietly as possible without any disturbance. At the same time, fixed working hours will help us not to devote ourselves to housework at that time.
In short, the environment is key for a home office:

We should definitely not forget the right clothes either. Of course, we don't necessarily need to move around in a suit at home, but working in, for example, pajamas is definitely not among the best options. A change of outfit can help us switch our mindset to a certain extent, when we realize that now we should fully devote ourselves only to work.
Work from home - The ideal solution in the time of the coronavirus
As we mentioned above, employees had to respond relatively quickly to the needs of the coronavirus era, due to which there are significantly more home office offers on the labor market. If you are looking for a similar opportunity and at the same time you would like to develop your writing skills, you can focus on e.g writing PR articles and other texts for various websites, which you can do either on a part-time basis or at an HPP or IČO. The possibilities of today's times are truly vast and the saying is confirmed that those who seek will find.
Home Office as extra income
We can also look at it from the other side. You might have thought that it was the global pandemic that was depriving us of the possibilities of various jobs. Fortunately, the opposite is true. Fortunately, we can make extra money relatively efficiently and easily when, for example, the option is offered long-term jobs from home. In this case, we can dedicate ourselves to the given activity, for example, only a few hours a day or a week, and without wasting time commuting, we can earn good money. In addition, if you combine it with something that you enjoy and fulfills, you will definitely not become stupid.
