tips for 5 Increasing Focus & Productivity for Hustle-From-Home Moms

your bed or your couch. While having a dedicated desk is ideal, a lot of us will end up working at the kitchen table or island. Just try to make sure that one piece of the above-mentioned established routine is clearing off the kid-chaos and syrup spills before you get to work.

4) SET BOUNDARIES Let your family know what your working hours are and when you’ll need uninterrupted time to work. You can also have visual signs that let them know that you’re in go-mode: closed door, and even hanging a sign or something more bold and colorful for the younger members of your crew. Amazon sells push on/off red lights sends the perfect “stop” message!

5) EXERCISE AND MOVEMENT Taking time during your day to reset and recharge is a crucial, but often ignored, part of increasing productivity when working from home. When every vantage point is a reminder of all of the things that we need to get done at home, we tend to just toggle between work and home responsibilities. But science shows that exercise and movement has just as many mental benefits as physical, even if it’s in just 10-minute breaks! So during those scheduled 15-minute breaks (Pomodoro), hop on the bike, walk/jog around the block or find a 10-minute yoga video (there are TONS). Your body and your brain will thank you! (no, folding laundry does not count!).

There are many other ways that work-from-home moms can set themselves up for success. Hopefully these 5 tips spark some ideas for you, and can help you as you continue to be the amazing, talented and strong woman that you are! I’m cheering you on!
