With many of us being forced to work from home we thought we would put together are our do's and dont’s to making yourself as productive as possible.

1. Do - Get up, shower, get dressed and stick to a normal routine.

2. Do - clear a clean space to utilize as your working environment, sit at a table or a desk.

Don't - Work on the sofa, with the TV on in the back ground.

3. Do - set yourself a clear working day, keep your lunch hour and know when to finish your day.

Don't - Leave all your work until the end of the day and rush through it. Don't take additional tea breaks or become distracted by the comforts at home.

4. Do - Maintain contact with your work relationships, colleagues, customers, suppliers etc. It's good to talk.

Don't - Use working from home as an excuse to drop off the radar.
