49. Essential Tips For Being Productive While Working From Home

by Daniel Fava | Jun 1, 2020 | Podcast

I know most of you have had to fully transition your therapy practices online in the last months.

Some therapists had already done some online therapy from home before and for others, this was all new territory.

But for many, the adjustment to working fully from home may have been a huge challenge and major adjustment.

I know we have not been immune to these challenges in our home.

We had a nice routine going and it was full of preschool, babysitters, and a trustworthy and predictable routine as my wife worked from her office a few days a week.

But when everyone is home and there’s work to be done and a 3-year-old that needs love and attention, well there have been some challenges making it all work.

Because my wife and I both have our own businesses, it’s meant that we’ve had to find a new groove to make sure everything in our lives is getting the attention it needs.

Now, I’ve been working from home since 2016 so when the pandemic hit, the only change that I felt was that of having my wife and son home full-time with me.

But over the years I’ve learned a few things about myself and how to make working from home be as efficient and productive as possible.

So in this episode, I’m going to share with you some of my best tips for being productive while working from home.
