Three Strategies to Stay Productive in a Remote Role

By 2030, an estimated 30 percent of all offices will have flexible workspace options to accommodate more than ninety million remote and hybrid employees across the globe. (That’s a 28% increase from 2023.) If you’re one of those employees or considering “going remote,” there are several factors to consider before switching from a traditional office to a flexible work environment. 

Thriving at a remote job requires personal accountability, self-motivation, and the ability to tune out distractions. Here’s how to set yourself up for success with Endeavor’s flexible coworking space in Greenville, SC, along with some other helpful productivity hacks.

Tips for Productivity

The freedom of not having a boss constantly looking over your shoulder sounds liberating. However, without this supervision, it can be difficult to stay motivated. Here are three strategies to assist you in overcoming distractions and staying productive in your new remote job.

1. Stick to a Routine

If you work in an office, you likely have a set routine that includes everything from the moment  you wake up and leave the house to when you break for lunch and then eventually commute home. Remote jobs offer more flexibility, but creating and sticking with a consistent daily schedule is still helpful. A routine promotes effective time management, so you don’t procrastinate or work around the clock.

2. Create a Home Office

A home office with a door you can close tells everyone in your household that you’re working. While it might not completely block out external noise or prevent family members from entering, it does create a division between your work and home spaces. This separation makes it easier to concentrate during work hours and then completely disconnect once you’ve completed your tasks.

3. Use a Coworking Space 

Consider switching from a home office to a coworking space if your household has too many distractions or challenges. In a coworking space, remote and freelance employees work in a professional and communal environment. Our fully-equipped coworking space in Greenville, SC, could be the perfect solution to help you thrive in a new remote job.
