Try and dedicate some space to your home working, even if it is a place at the kitchen table. Ideally you want to have an area that is for and related to working. This will help you focus on the tasks at hand and not get drawn into other things during your working day. Also by having a designated area, you can “leave” work when you finish, and not let it follow you into your personal time.

Set yourself a plan for your day. Giving yourself some structure or a timetable to work with will help you to understand what tasks are achievable in the time you have. It will also help you to have a clear “start” to your day and importantly “finish” to your day. Don't forget your (manageable) “to-do” list to help you fit tasks into your timetable, and remind you of your priorities. You'll have to keep yourself in line in the absence of colleagues...

Just like you would when working in the office, give yourself regular breaks. It might not seem like much, but making a cuppa or having a stroll in the fresh air will help you to maintain your focus when you are in front of your computer or checking through documents. I would recommend a break mid-morning, take an hour for lunch, and a further break for 15 minutes or so in the afternoon.

Self isolation doesn't mean you have to be lonely! Your colleagues will be going through the same experiences and feelings as you, so talk to them about it. Make sure you have contact with colleagues as well as customers - job dependent of course. But WFH is no different to being in the office and having a chat with your colleague who usually sits next to you will be a nice distraction, in exactly the same way it is in the office.

Personally I find it difficult to have complete silence while I work, so I have the radio playing quietly so that I can still think properly, and concentrate. Having some noise does help you feel less like you are on your own and a nicer atmosphere is conducive to better work.

We all know or have heard the phrase “healthy body, healthy mind”, and nutrition is so key, not only to our physical health but also our mental health. WFH is no different, you need to make sure that you are eating the right foods to both keep your mind stimulated and to reduce fatigue. It’s easy to eat and eat, but sometimes that's boredom. Make sure you drink lots of water (if nothing else it's good for your skin!), and a breakfast that sees you through until your scheduled breaks. This doesn't mean that a treat can't be had, in fact I'd recommend it!
