Distractions is one big challenge to remote workers, and one of the most relatable ones is that of our phones. It’s common that you see a notification on your phone and you want to check it out, just to notice 10 minutes later that you’re now watching Instagram reels or TikTok. I suggest that when it’s time to work, just because it’s remote doesn’t mean that you should not treat it like it’s office work. Put your phone in a silent mode and keep the tone of your workspace to be like it would be in an office. Don’t feel too relaxed just because you’re at home.
It isn't a challenge to the employer but a challenge to the workers. The one that is affected the most is the remote workers because there is no supervisors, manager, or boss that is around to monitor them. Yes, phones are common because of their portability. This is why I just switch them off and place them away from my reach.
I think there is nothing wrong in relaxing. and I bet, we can relax too when working non-remotely. But like they said, everything that is over are not good anymore. This is the only thing that we should watch out for when we are working remotely. For this, I don't lay down when I'm working online because it makes me sleepy.
