Tool's and Tip's to make working from Home easier.

Working, learning, teaching and creating from home leaves many people, who are new to this situation, with lots off questions. Wacom has collected valuable tips and practical solutions that might help you to adjust to the challenges of working from home and Covid-19.

5 Tips for working and learning from home

No matter if you are working, learning or teaching from home, there are a couple of valuable tips that might help you adjust to the new situation.

1. Create a designated space for working and learning

Turn the kitchen into a classroom or the corner of your bedroom into an office. Make it a habit to “commute” to work in the morning and “drop off” your kids at school. Getting dressed apparently can also help to get into an authentic mood.

2. Make a schedule

Set fixed school hours. Maybe download the sound of a school bell to mark the beginning and end of class. Keep regular office hours and separate working hours from time off. Schedule coffee and lunch breaks and stick to them. Avoid too much overspill.

3. Organize yourself

Make to-do lists, set yourself deadlines and keep track of your progress. This will help you stay focused and motivated. Set rules together with the people you work with and the ones around you. Well, one can at least try.

4. Stronger together

We might be sitting at home alone, but we are in this together. To help communication, schedule regular meetings with your team and clients. Socialise and chat with colleagues during breaks just like you would do at the office or at school. Ask them, if you need something. Chat with your friends and school buddies. Change to video calls to see each other.

5. Keep moving and exploring

If you are not under lockdown, make sure you leave the house regularly. Go for a walk, get some fresh air or exercise. If that is not possible, remember to stretch and change posture regularly.

For a fresh mind, allow yourself time to discover new ideas or learn something new. Keep exploring. Many creative events are changing to online formats. Museums offer virtual tours through their collection. They are a great source of inspiration.
