Working from home has become the new norm for many of us during the pandemic. It may be that you had never worked from home before and have had to adapt to this totally new way of working. As lockdown and restrictions are lifted, it is likely that more and more of us will gradually start to return to the workplace. This may not be done instantly, instead it may be a slow process in which more and more people are bought back in over a set period of time.

When working from home it is vital that you stay focused and ensure that you can work efficiently without getting distracted. It is often very easy to get distracted when working from home as you have outside factors that may influence you such as other members of the house, noise from TV’s, radios or even your pets. You may also get distracted by the arrival of the post and before long have gone way off track with what you were supposed to be doing. Depending on what your job is, you may then have to make up this time or complete the work in the evening or at the weekends.
