Hey there, welcome to another bonus episode of the new Marketing Show. catch us on Instagram, TV, YouTube, all that jazz, all that good stuff. So, you know, here we are, we have more and more people working in home than ever and I myself I’m work from home now problem.
I work now from home for the last 12-15 years. So, here are a couple of tips I want to give out everybody, just to let you know how to be productive, how to be effective and, and how to make the most of it.
The first thing that I do every day is you know, I get up, I go through my morning routine. Like anybody else as if they had to get up and go to work and get in a car and go, you know, I work I wake up, typically eat something I exercise, take a shower, I get dressed. And then I go to another room of my house where I typically don’t spend a lot of time and that’s for work.
You know, in my situations, my home office, I’m Only in there when I’m working. And I’m only in there when I’m trying to be productive. If you don’t have that luxury, maybe sit away set apart part of your dining room or set something up in your kitchen or you know, if the weather gets nice, set something up on your back deck or anything like that.
That way, you have a little bit of separation between work and your regular life. If you don’t have that separation, and you kind of keep things really blurred. What ends up happening is, it’s really hard to be productive.
Other thing that I have found is I take scheduled lunch, I take I eat lunch, typically when I always would, you know I have a schedule for that I have a schedule when I will maybe get up and walk the dog.
You know, in your home, let’s say laundry, let’s say dishes, let’s say maybe the dog you know let’s say you need to go grocery shopping all those Things are distractions, or you can potentially build them into your day to get that stuff done if you’re on a task based business, such as we are here at Trinity, so I think that, you know, while going to an office, you know, provides a lot of structure for people.
And it’s typically a way to start the day. And it’s typically a way just to get things rolling. The biggest thing is, find your own structure, fire, a structure that works for you, within your own home environment. Set up a place that’s comfortable, a simple place that’s productive. Set up a place with good energy and all that good stuff, to make sure that you can get things up. And
I think that you’ll settle into this and maybe you’ll really like working remote. Who knows. So, thanks for listening. Thanks for watching. I hope everyone watching this as well. I hope everybody is doing the right thing. staying at home as needed, you know, take care of themselves, all that good stuff. So I think that you know, together we’ll get through all this stuff. So till next time. Later.
While I’ve known Greg for years from our time together in the marketing scene, I’ve only recently had the chance to work with Trinity Web Media on a client project. Not only was the team professional and their work spot on, they were amazingly quick to respond and required very little hand-holding along the way. I chalk that up to their past experience and a deep understanding of best-in-class services.
I have hired Greg and the Trinity team multiple times for work on my own websites, and have also hired them to work on behalf of multiple clients. He is simply a pleasure to work with, in every respect. Smart but without the giant ego of some developers, Trinity Web Media works with his clients to achieve their vision in the best way possible — with careful attention to their interests, and thoughtful recommendations based on his expertise. • Susan Baier – Founding Marketing Strategist – Audience Audit
