Stay professional
Just because you’re working from home and you don’t have to respect a specific dress code, it doesn’t mean you should stay in your pajamas all day. Especially if your job involves business meetings, make sure you’re dressed properly even if you’re working from home.
Additionally, if you’re clean and dressed, you’ll have better results in conducting calls much more professionally. Avoid the temptation to be relaxed in your meetings just because you’re in your fuzzy bunny slippers.
Take advantage of technology
Technology is your best friend, not your enemy, especially when you’re working from home, according to Evans. All you need to work more productively is a reliable computer, a headset for hands-free note-taking, a variety of apps to manage your schedule and clients, an at-home printer, and a fast and reliable internet hookup.
Without these simple technologies, your workday will be a failure.
