Hey guys! Welcome to Silicon Valley Girl and welcome to working from home! It's a reality in San Francisco. A lot of people were asked to work from home and a lot of people are actually DMing me, asking how it is even possible to stay productive while working from home. I'm going to share my tips because I've been doing that since the age of 23. All the work that is related to creating content, creating my own courses, is happening right here in my home office.

1. Create a schedule. The benefit here is that it doesn't have to be 9-5 kind of schedule. You need to be present to chat with your team, you need to join some meetings or call your clients but you can really optimize your day around times when you're the most productive.

2. Keep your work and personal time separate. If you have to do your grocery shopping, if you have to check your Instagram, create a special ti,e slot for that but don't mix your personal time with your work time.

3. Don't work in your PJs. Change your clothes every morning, don't work in what you're sleeping. Otherwise, you're going to be so relaxed. You will get out of bed, you will take your laptop to do something and then because you're still in your pyjamas, you'll be like: "Maybe I should go back and watch Netflix."

4. Create a work space. I've only started doing this like a year ago, I actually created a work space for myself. It might be tempting to work from your couch, easy-chair, or even from your bed, but this could take a huge toll on your productivity. Try to always work from a consistent room, desk, or chair, to tell your brain that it’s time for work, not relaxation.

5. Make a to-do list. It really helps you throughout the day. The rule that I have is I only put five things on that to-do list because during the day a lot of things are going to come up and a lot of situations will happen that you did not expect. So I have five tasks, I always check them off once I complete the task because it gives me additional dopamine.

6. Prepare your meals in advance. When you're in your own home, it can be tempting to spend time preparing a really nice breakfast and lunch for yourself, chopping and cooking included. Don't use precious minutes making your food the day of work -- cook it the night before.

7. Don't combine two tasks together. Don't try watching after your baby and working or watching a show on Netflix and working. You are not dedicated at this time.
