If you work from home, it is tempting to throw his feet on the table and forget about work until someone from colleagues not will call you to remind you of an urgent matter, or you happen to check email, and do not find it important message.
Of course, sometimes useful to allow yourself to relax a bit and feel the little freedom that allows you to work at home. But it is a risk at all to relax and as a result this good job to lose. In this article we will discuss several ways of motivation that will allow you to work productively even when the bosses are not standing behind your shoulder.
Remember that you are very lucky
If you have the opportunity to work from home, even if not every day, but only occasionally, then it is a great privilege. While more and more companies are considering remote work, as a way to improve the working conditions of its employees, as well as a way to improve their performance, but not all solved it.
Remember that you are lucky, every time you want to sleep the extra three hours. Many people dream of working from home, and if you already have such an opportunity, you need to hold on to it.
Do not let your supervisor
There are two types of leaders. Some people trust you, they will never call you or write, barring something extraordinary. They generally do not much care, to work you two hours or ten. In response to this softness, some are ready to do serious work for the company, while others will be easy to arrange a day off in the "home" days.
Other leaders under work from home meant that you have to work out all of 8 hours. And such a manager will see to it that you have to "work" place. This can be a regular phone calls or letters, as he may ask you to regularly out on the video.
In the second type of leader, you have to work at full capacity. If you have a soft head, it is still not necessary to use it. If you are a responsible employee, your efforts will appreciate and maybe you will be able to work from home more often.

The output of clothes you are unlikely to lie down on the sofa, or become suddenly do household chores.
You should be normal working morning
As well, put the laptop on his knees, and at least half a day to work reclining in bed. We have to disappoint you, your productivity will be close to zero. Do everything the way you do, going to the office. Getting out of bed, wash, eat breakfast, get dressed, both in the office and sit down at a desk.
It is desirable that he really looked like a normal job. So you set up yourself, it's time to do chores. You will be well aware that you have a normal working day, but in another place, and there will be the feeling that you have a weekend or holiday, and you are still forced to work.
