How Millennial Engineers Are Making
Working From Home More Productive
7 ways Engineers can make working from home more productive
According to recent studies, nearly half of the
millennial generation want to work from home
more than get paid more. In fact, working from
home has probably become the new American
dream, and 1 in 5 Americans currently work from
home. Of course, engineers are also excited to
join them, as not all engineering jobs require
field work and such. Now the main struggle is,
how do you work from home, yet still remain
productive? Well, here’s 7 ways how:
1) Have a good morning routine
The best way to have a productive day is to
start your day right. Drink some coffee and
watch some YouTube videos before you work.
Grab some yogurt and exercise. Do something
that gets you moving and motivated for the day
and stick to it.
2) Find your most creative hours
One of the biggest mistakes we engineers (and
everyone else) make is that we force ourselves
to work during the times our mind is the most
unproductive. If, per say, your brain just shuts
down every 3pm, then adjust your schedule to
wake up earlier and get more things done. Find
your most productive hours and work will seem
way easier.
