Working Virtually: Time Management in a Work-from-Home World

If you've found the transition to working from home difficult, you may benefit from this course, Time Management in a Work-From-Home World. In this course we review some of the unique challenges that working from home presents, whether that's space, roommates, distractions or time management, and discuss strategies you can use to work more efficiently. We discuss the two areas of struggle, operating in a half-focused mode and the lack of an off switch between home and work, and outline strategies to help overcome these. You'll learn the value of managing time, how to use your creativity during the day, and how to avoid the afternoon slump. Finally, we'll review the benefit of having a private office area, however small, to help you keep your work and personal life separate. Part of our series called Working Virtually, this course includes a video, downloadable student materials and an online quiz to check your comprehension of the subject.
