3. Focus on nothing but that task for the 25 minutes.
4. Once the timer goes off, take a 5-minute break.
5. Repeat (usually 3 times, followed by a longer break of your choosing (around 25-50 minutes)).

00:01
shameless self-promoter I let you guys

00:07

00:26
kind of come on here and on like I don't
00:28
really didn't even know what to say but
00:29
obviously with everything that's going
00:31
on in the world right now it's just so
00:33
crazy and I just want to let you guys
00:35
know that if you are nervous or scared
00:36
or ever that's totally okay because I am
00:41
too I think we all are and I think
00:43
talking about that's like just so
00:44
important right now and I was really
00:46
inspired to do a video like actually
00:48
I've been wanting to do a video like
00:49
this for a really long time but I just
00:50
felt like it was perfect timing because
00:52
you know if you don't know me I've
00:54
worked from home myself for a really
00:56
long time and I just felt like you know
00:58
there's a lot of people who are working
00:59
from home right now who never ever
01:01
planned to work from home so hopefully
01:04
these tips helped you guys out but um
01:05
yeah I work really hard in this video so
01:07
I hope you guys like it but um I will
01:09
I'll talk to you soon okay video hey
01:13
guys what is that so I've actually
01:14
wanted to do a video like this for
01:16
months now and it kind of felt like now
01:18
is the best time to do that so I ended
01:20
up asking you guys on Twitter about a
01:22
week ago if I was to do a video like
01:23
this what would you even want me to
01:25
touch on what do you want me to talk
01:26
about and I felt like I might have a lot
01:28
to say because believe it or not I've
01:29
actually I'm gonna sound so old I've
01:31
actually worked from home now for almost
01:33
eight freaking years which is insane let
01:36
me tell you I have learned so much it
01:38
definitely takes a learning curve anyone
01:40
who works freelance or works from home
01:42
like you get it you get me and trust me
01:44
I totally get it it is so hard to not
01:46
just want to lay in bed and watch
01:47
Netflix all freakin day so I'm gonna
01:50
share with you all of my tips and
01:51
secrets that I've learned over the years
01:52
of just ways to be so much more
01:54
productive and find motivation for
01:56
working from home it just like put you
01:57
and frickin work mode also if you guys
02:00
have any tips comment them in the
02:01
comments because I'd love it just to be
02:03
like an awesome community don't forget
02:04
to subscribe hit that like button all
02:06
that fun stuff and I will get into the
02:08
video now I
02:14
okay so the number one thing that I
02:16
cannot stress enough to everyone is that
02:18
you have to make your own routine it's
02:21
so crucial because if not every single
02:24
day just turns into a blur you never
02:25
know what day it is and it will drive
02:27
you insane
02:27
set a designated time that you are going
02:30
to work don't have someone over you
02:31
telling you to be at work at a certain
02:33
time it's like no you don't have to
02:34
start working at 8:00 but it's so much
02:36
better to have that structure to your
02:37
day as much as you can okay don't hate
02:39
me but I'm gonna say the thing literally
02:41
no one wants to hear me say and that is
02:43
that getting a workout in in the day
02:45
specifically the beginning is such a
02:47
great way to kind of get some structure
02:49
to your day I love doing a workout in
02:52
the morning because it's this big ol fat
02:53
check and you've already conquered
02:55
something in the day you've already been
02:56
productive you've done the hardest thing
02:58
that most people in the world don't want
03:00
to do so if you can do that you can do
03:02
anything it's literally not even about
03:04
the fitness goals in any way it's truly
03:06
like for my mental state could be a walk
03:08
it can be the simplest thing ever but
03:11
that feeling is amazing to have every
03:13
single morning to get you into your work
03:15
day honestly for everyone it's so
03:16
different what you consider ready for me
03:19
it's fine if I'm in sweats but I would
03:20
love to have my hair and makeup done
03:22
like that makes me feel so ready for the
03:24
day so literally pretend that you're
03:26
actually leaving the house to go to work
03:28
so don't just wear whatever wear your
03:30
favorite shirt even if literally no one
03:31
else is gonna see it you'll see it and
03:33
you'll feel good about yourself and
03:34
that's the whole point about getting
03:36
ready even when you don't have to do
03:38
everything have breakfast even make your
03:40
bed crazy because if you're working from
03:41
home like this is actually a necessity
03:44
to do like it's so important especially
03:45
if you're gonna be working on your bed
03:47
which brings me to my next point which
03:49
is to have a workspace that has
03:51
everything you need so when I'm editing
03:53
a video I need my computer my charger my
03:55
harddrive a notepad a pen like oh
03:57
there's so much that I need and if you
03:59
clear off a space in your house for this
04:01
workspace that way you're not constantly
04:03
getting up trying to find your charger
04:05
and find a phone charger and find all
04:06
this stuff like have everything so there
04:08
are no distractions so you can just sit
04:09
down and get everything done where do
04:11
you work if you don't have a desk or an
04:13
office in your house you freaking need a
04:16
desk like this for your bed not only is
04:19
it better for you not to have your
04:20
computer actually on
04:21
your lap but but you and freaking work
04:24
both now believe it or not even though I
04:25
have a desk that I love I actually still
04:28
use this so freakin much so that's why I
04:30
recommend it so much because there's
04:31
plenty of times that I go up in my room
04:33
to take a conference call hey can you
04:35
guys hear me or just want to change up
04:37
the scenery because I'm bored of sitting
04:39
and my office desk for literally six
04:41
hours straight this one is my sister
04:42
Ashley's actually my purpose I'm just
04:44
using this because it's way easier to
04:46
see on camera than mine because I have
04:48
this really cute one but is it
04:50
completely clear mine's from CB 2 if
04:53
you're wondering I'm gonna have both of
04:54
these linked down below for you guys
04:55
honestly I feel like I've always heard
04:57
so many social media influencers talk
04:59
about freaking blue light glasses but I
05:01
think like six months ago I actually got
05:03
my prescription glasses with them and I
05:05
have genuinely noticed a difference and
05:08
having less headaches when I've been on
05:09
my computer for hours and let's be real
05:12
working from home usually means that you
05:13
gonna be on your computer so like I said
05:15
the ones I'm wearing are actually
05:16
prescription ones that I wear but I
05:18
found a pack of two on Amazon for like
05:20
$15 and guys low key to actually work
05:22
really really well so I'll link them
05:23
down below something I've been obsessed
05:31
with lately like it's making me ten
05:32
times more productive ten times more
05:33
motivated just to kind of get my stuff
05:35
done for the day is a simple to do list
05:38
now not just a normal to do those guys
05:40
so when you're doing your to-do list
05:42
honestly just give yourself 10 times
05:43
more credit then you're giving yourself
05:45
it's like if you were to clean the
05:46
entire house and you know your family
05:49
and friends finally came over and
05:50
they're like oh you can't a house you're
05:51
like yeah that is such an understatement
05:53
you're like I cleaned the bathrooms I
05:54
cleaned the hallways I did the
05:56
baseboards I did all the laundry I put
05:57
away that laundry like that is so much
05:59
more than just oh you cleaned up you
06:01
know to me like I want credit for
06:03
everything in the same way you should
06:04
give yourself that same credit when it
06:06
comes to your to-do list so when you're
06:08
writing your to-do list write down a
06:09
column of just anything and everything
06:11
you can think of that you'd like to get
06:12
done that day and be overly specific
06:14
then on a whole separate column or box
06:16
you're gonna take from that other list
06:18
your top three ones that you want to get
06:20
done that day write down what those top
06:23
three things are the reason why this
06:24
helps me so much is because no matter
06:26
what as long as I got those three top
06:28
priority ones done I don't feel like a
06:30
failure that day of not being productive
06:32
so obviously you could just do this in a
06:34
notebook
06:34
I actually found these really cute
06:35
notepads I got this one off of Amazon
06:37
and I'm really really freaking liked it
06:39
but obviously you can just make it on
06:41
your own or you can even go on Etsy and
06:43
get a digital version we can work from
06:46
home that's Smith Harmon you would say
06:50
you don't want to go to work right but
06:54
you gotta put in work the next thing
06:56
that helped me so much was having the
06:58
work hard play hard mentality you know
07:01
when you would come home from work or
07:02
school after a huge long day and you
07:05
just like come home you put your stuff
07:07
down you sigh and you feel so happy
07:09
that's the same feeling you want to
07:11
mimic when you're working from home
07:12
obviously just you don't have the
07:13
driving and like the long hours
07:15
commuting to kind of do that for you so
07:16
use that motivation to work hard during
07:18
the day so you can be done put away your
07:20
computer turn it off turn off like all
07:22
the email notifications and all that
07:24
stuff and then you can play hard and get
07:26
into comfy clothes watch that Netflix
07:27
show that you've been wanting to binge
07:29
yeah work hard play hard so it's kind of
07:33
cliche hold on let me get like nice and
07:35
close I feel like this is another one of
07:36
those cliche tips that you hear over the
07:38
years but just taking a break is it so
07:40
important just getting outside for a
07:42
little bit even if it's just opening a
07:44
window to get some fresh air like taking
07:46
breaks throughout the day whether it's
07:47
your lunch break or your coffee break or
07:49
just like 10-minute breaks kind of
07:50
throughout the day it helps so much this
07:52
is something that my family had like
07:53
yelled up not yelled at me but they were
07:55
trying to get me to do for forever and I
07:56
was so stubborn I was like it's iana and
07:57
I didn't understand how important
07:59
resting is literally your bodies are
08:01
almost like a computer that you need if
08:02
we can turn off you know what I mean
08:03
like I don't know about you guys but I
08:05
always know when I'm overworking and
08:06
overwhelmed and just exhausted
08:08
everything is just not as good as it
08:09
normally would be like my work isn't as
08:11
good I'm not as focused it's taking me
08:13
honestly up until just this past year to
08:14
realize how important rest and work
08:16
break are it's just nice to get outside
08:18
you know what's hard for a lot of us is
08:19
you know a lot of our work is on our
08:21
phones you know I have my emails all
08:23
connected to my phone I'm posting on
08:25
Instagram and Twitter and YouTube and
08:27
all that stuff so there are times where
08:28
I literally have to be on my phone but I
08:30
will be the first one to tell you I know
08:32
deep deep down when I'm working and when
08:35
I'm just scrolling I feel like we all
08:36
know deep deep down when we're actively
08:38
working and then when we're just
08:39
scrolling and refreshing it's almost
08:41
like freaking dating apps you know when
08:42
you're just scrolling and you're not
08:43
even paying attention that's the time
08:44
when you should put it away same thing
08:45
if you've refreshed your Twitter feed
08:47
three times you're clearly doing nothing
08:49
productive so just put it away the
08:50
tweets will be there when you come back
08:52
be intentional with your time you can
08:54
get your whole day's worth of work done
08:56
in three hours if you just sit down and
08:59
freaking do it instead of sitting at
09:00
your desk for literally eight hours
09:02
being on your phone and then you're like
09:04
okay let me like write another email or
09:05
like write one more sentence to this
09:07
essay like we've all been there when we
09:08
just procrastinate and it's like you can
09:10
get it done and have so much more time
09:12
in your day and get so much more done if
09:13
you just sit down and do it and let's be
09:15
real you're not gonna always feel like
09:16
doing it there's times in school and
09:17
work when you're just like okay I just
09:18
have to sit down and like do this you
09:20
know II mean how do you not stay up and
09:22
watching shows too like 3:00 a.m. when
09:24
you don't have to be at work at a
09:26
certain time in the morning honestly
09:28
just over the years I've done that and I
09:31
realize how much the next day I am
09:32
literally useless it's happened too many
09:34
times where now I realize oh I should go
09:36
to bed early so I can just be productive
09:38
the next day the feeling of being
09:40
productive for me is so much better than
09:41
binge watching a show and then one of
09:43
the biggest struggles that comes when
09:44
you're working from home is while you
09:46
get interrupted by it so after you go to
09:50
work you know you sit down on your
09:51
coffee table you have your laptop you
09:52
have all your homework or whatever
09:53
you're doing there are so many normal
09:55
household things that kind of jump into
09:57
your vision all of the sudden there's
09:59
all these little things now you can do
10:01
because why you're home it's hard
10:04
because yes you could easily get up in
10:05
between your conference calls and put
10:07
away some laundry but I realize how much
10:09
it helps me to sit down and only work
10:12
during those like allotted hours that
10:13
I'm giving myself because let's be real
10:15
if you were at work you wouldn't be
10:16
getting up to do the dishes
10:17
you wouldn't be folding your laundry
10:18
even though it's in your face it's so
10:21
much better to do that a separate time
10:22
when you're home and you're not working
10:24
so honestly the biggest thing I would
10:26
say is just try to stick to your regular
10:27
work schedule so if you have Monday's
10:29
that are normally meetings and schedule
10:31
Google Hangouts to do all those meetings
10:32
on Monday point being keep your work
10:34
schedule the same as much as you can and
10:36
I promise you it'll make you feel so
10:38
much better I honestly feel like I could
10:40
talk so much about this whole topic but
10:43
I really want to thank you guys so much
10:44
for watching this video if you have any
10:45

01:56
working from home it just like put you
01:57
and frickin work mode also if you guys
02:00
have any tips comment them in the
02:01
comments because I'd love it just to be
02:03
like an awesome community don't forget
02:04
to subscribe hit that like button all
02:06
that fun stuff and I will get into the
02:08
video now I
02:14
okay so the number one thing that I
02:16
cannot stress enough to everyone is that
02:18
you have to make your own routine it's
02:21
so crucial because if not every single
02:24
day just turns into a blur you never
02:25
know what day it is and it will drive
02:27
you insane
02:27
set a designated time that you are going
02:30
to work don't have someone over you
02:31
telling you to be at work at a certain
02:33
time it's like no you don't have to
02:34
start working at 8:00 but it's so much
02:36
better to have that structure to your
02:37
day as much as you can okay don't hate
02:39
me but I'm gonna say the thing literally
02:41
no one wants to hear me say and that is
02:43
that getting a workout in in the day
02:45
specifically the beginning is such a
02:47
great way to kind of get some structure
02:49
to your day I love doing a workout in
02:52
the morning because it's this big ol fat
02:53
check and you've already conquered
02:55
something in the day you've already been
02:56
productive you've done the hardest thing
02:58
that most people in the world don't want
03:00
to do so if you can do that you can do
03:02
anything it's literally not even about
03:04
the fitness goals in any way it's truly
03:06
like for my mental state could be a walk
03:08
it can be the simplest thing ever but
03:11
that feeling is amazing to have every
03:13
single morning to get you into your work
03:15
day honestly for everyone it's so
03:16
different what you consider ready for me
03:19
it's fine if I'm in sweats but I would
03:20
love to have my hair and makeup done
03:22
like that makes me feel so ready for the
03:24
day so literally pretend that you're
03:26
actually leaving the house to go to work
03:28
so don't just wear whatever wear your
03:30
favorite shirt even if literally no one
03:31
else is gonna see it you'll see it and
03:33
you'll feel good about yourself and
03:34
that's the whole point about getting
03:36
ready even when you don't have to do
03:38
everything have breakfast even make your
03:40
bed crazy because if you're working from
03:41
home like this is actually a necessity
03:44
to do like it's so important especially
03:45
if you're gonna be working on your bed
03:47
which brings me to my next point which
03:49
is to have a workspace that has
03:51
everything you need so when I'm editing
03:53
a video I need my computer my charger my
03:55
harddrive a notepad a pen like oh
03:57
there's so much that I need and if you
03:59
clear off a space in your house for this
04:01
workspace that way you're not constantly
04:03
getting up trying to find your charger
04:05
and find a phone charger and find all
04:06
this stuff like have everything so there
04:08
are no distractions so you can just sit
04:09
down and get everything done where do
04:11
you work if you don't have a desk or an
04:13
office in your house you freaking need a
04:16
desk like this for your bed not only is
04:19
it better for you not to have your
04:20
computer actually on
04:21
your lap but but you and freaking work
04:24
both now believe it or not even though I
04:25
have a desk that I love I actually still
04:28
use this so freakin much so that's why I
04:30
recommend it so much because there's
04:31
plenty of times that I go up in my room
04:33
to take a conference call hey can you
04:35
guys hear me or just want to change up
04:37
the scenery because I'm bored of sitting
04:39
and my office desk for literally six
04:41
hours straight this one is my sister
04:42
Ashley's actually my purpose I'm just
04:44
using this because it's way easier to
04:46
see on camera than mine because I have
04:48
this really cute one but is it
04:50
completely clear mine's from CB 2 if
04:53
you're wondering I'm gonna have both of
04:54
these linked down below for you guys
04:55
honestly I feel like I've always heard
04:57
so many social media influencers talk
04:59
about freaking blue light glasses but I
05:01
think like six months ago I actually got
05:03
my prescription glasses with them and I
05:05
have genuinely noticed a difference and
05:08
having less headaches when I've been on
05:09
my computer for hours and let's be real
05:12
working from home usually means that you
05:13
gonna be on your computer so like I said
05:15
the ones I'm wearing are actually
05:16
prescription ones that I wear but I
05:18
found a pack of two on Amazon for like
05:20
$15 and guys low key to actually work
05:22
really really well so I'll link them
05:23
down below something I've been obsessed
05:31
with lately like it's making me ten
05:32
times more productive ten times more
05:33
motivated just to kind of get my stuff
05:35
done for the day is a simple to do list
05:38
now not just a normal to do those guys
05:40
so when you're doing your to-do list
05:42
honestly just give yourself 10 times
05:43
more credit then you're giving yourself
05:45
it's like if you were to clean the
05:46
entire house and you know your family
05:49
and friends finally came over and
05:50
they're like oh you can't a house you're
05:51
like yeah that is such an understatement
05:53
you're like I cleaned the bathrooms I
05:54
cleaned the hallways I did the
05:56
baseboards I did all the laundry I put
05:57
away that laundry like that is so much
05:59
more than just oh you cleaned up you
06:01
know to me like I want credit for
06:03
everything in the same way you should
06:04
give yourself that same credit when it
06:06
comes to your to-do list so when you're
06:08
writing your to-do list write down a
06:09
column of just anything and everything
06:11
you can think of that you'd like to get
06:12
done that day and be overly specific
06:14
then on a whole separate column or box
06:16
you're gonna take from that other list
06:18
your top three ones that you want to get
06:20
done that day write down what those top
06:23
three things are the reason why this
06:24
helps me so much is because no matter
06:26
what as long as I got those three top
06:28
priority ones done I don't feel like a
06:30
failure that day of not being productive
06:32
so obviously you could just do this in a
06:34
notebook
06:34
I actually found these really cute
06:35
notepads I got this one off of Amazon
06:37
and I'm really really freaking liked it
06:39
but obviously you can just make it on
06:41
your own or you can even go on Etsy and
06:43
get a digital version we can work from
06:46
home that's Smith Harmon you would say
06:50
you don't want to go to work right but
06:54
you gotta put in work the next thing
06:56
that helped me so much was having the
06:58
work hard play hard mentality you know
07:01
when you would come home from work or
07:02
school after a huge long day and you
07:05
just like come home you put your stuff
07:07
down you sigh and you feel so happy
07:09
that's the same feeling you want to
07:11
mimic when you're working from home
07:12
obviously just you don't have the
07:13
driving and like the long hours
07:15
commuting to kind of do that for you so
07:16
use that motivation to work hard during
07:18
the day so you can be done put away your
07:20
computer turn it off turn off like all
07:22
the email notifications and all that
07:24
stuff and then you can play hard and get
07:26
into comfy clothes watch that Netflix
07:27
show that you've been wanting to binge
07:29
yeah work hard play hard so it's kind of
07:33
cliche hold on let me get like nice and
07:35
close I feel like this is another one of
07:36
those cliche tips that you hear over the
07:38
years but just taking a break is it so
07:40
important just getting outside for a
07:42
little bit even if it's just opening a
07:44
window to get some fresh air like taking
07:46
breaks throughout the day whether it's
07:47
your lunch break or your coffee break or
07:49
just like 10-minute breaks kind of
07:50
throughout the day it helps so much this
07:52
is something that my family had like
07:53
yelled up not yelled at me but they were
07:55
trying to get me to do for forever and I
07:56
was so stubborn I was like it's iana and
07:57
I didn't understand how important
07:59
resting is literally your bodies are
08:01
almost like a computer that you need if
08:02
we can turn off you know what I mean
08:03
like I don't know about you guys but I
08:05
always know when I'm overworking and
08:06
overwhelmed and just exhausted
08:08
everything is just not as good as it
08:09
normally would be like my work isn't as
08:11
good I'm not as focused it's taking me
08:13
honestly up until just this past year to
08:14
realize how important rest and work
08:16
break are it's just nice to get outside
08:18
you know what's hard for a lot of us is
08:19
you know a lot of our work is on our
08:21
phones you know I have my emails all
08:23
connected to my phone I'm posting on
08:25
Instagram and Twitter and YouTube and
08:27
all that stuff so there are times where
08:28
I literally have to be on my phone but I
08:30
will be the first one to tell you I know
08:32
deep deep down when I'm working and when
08:35
I'm just scrolling I feel like we all
08:36
know deep deep down when we're actively
08:38
working and then when we're just
08:39
scrolling and refreshing it's almost
08:41
like freaking dating apps you know when
08:42
you're just scrolling and you're not
08:43
even paying attention that's the time
08:44
when you should put it away same thing
08:45
if you've refreshed your Twitter feed
08:47
three times you're clearly doing nothing
08:49
productive so just put it away the
08:50
tweets will be there when you come back
08:52
be intentional with your time you can
08:54
get your whole day's worth of work done
08:56
in three hours if you just sit down and
08:59
freaking do it instead of sitting at
09:00
your desk for literally eight hours
09:02
being on your phone and then you're like
09:04
okay let me like write another email or
09:05
like write one more sentence to this
09:07
essay like we've all been there when we
09:08
just procrastinate and it's like you can
09:10
get it done and have so much more time
09:12
in your day and get so much more done if
09:13
you just sit down and do it and let's be
09:15
real you're not gonna always feel like
09:16
doing it there's times in school and
09:17
work when you're just like okay I just
09:18
have to sit down and like do this you
09:20
know II mean how do you not stay up and
09:22
watching shows too like 3:00 a.m. when
09:24
you don't have to be at work at a
09:26
certain time in the morning honestly
09:28
just over the years I've done that and I
09:31
realize how much the next day I am
09:32
literally useless it's happened too many
09:34
times where now I realize oh I should go
09:36
to bed early so I can just be productive
09:38
the next day the feeling of being
09:40
productive for me is so much better than
09:41
binge watching a show and then one of
09:43
the biggest struggles that comes when
09:44
you're working from home is while you
09:46
get interrupted by it so after you go to
09:50
work you know you sit down on your
09:51
coffee table you have your laptop you
09:52
have all your homework or whatever
09:53
you're doing there are so many normal
09:55
household things that kind of jump into
09:57
your vision all of the sudden there's
09:59
all these little things now you can do
10:01
because why you're home it's hard
10:04
because yes you could easily get up in
10:05
between your conference calls and put
10:07
away some laundry but I realize how much
10:09
it helps me to sit down and only work
10:12
during those like allotted hours that
10:13
I'm giving myself because let's be real
10:15
if you were at work you wouldn't be
10:16
getting up to do the dishes
10:17
you wouldn't be folding your laundry
10:18
even though it's in your face it's so
10:21
much better to do that a separate time
10:22
when you're home and you're not working
10:24
so honestly the biggest thing I would
10:26
say is just try to stick to your regular
10:27
work schedule so if you have Monday's
10:29
that are normally meetings and schedule
10:31
Google Hangouts to do all those meetings
10:32
on Monday point being keep your work
10:34
schedule the same as much as you can and
10:36
I promise you it'll make you feel so
10:38
much better I honestly feel like I could
10:40
talk so much about this whole topic but
10:43
I really want to thank you guys so much
10:44

10:45
