매일인증 에디터·2026.04.13·76 views

Working from home is a dream opportunity for many, but it can also be a significant challenge. This is because it is difficult to separate work from personal life at home. However, according to research from La Trobe University, productivity in remote work can be greatly increased through proper planning and strategy.
First, optimize your home office environment. The environment is crucial when working from home. It's not just about having a desk and chair; placing your desk where natural light is abundant and providing visual pleasure with plants or artwork are also good methods. Research suggests that natural light can increase concentration by up to 23%.
Second, set clear schedules and goals. People who are good at time management set clear goals at the start of the day. Try writing a 'to-do list' and setting priorities. Planning your day increases your sense of accomplishment, which in turn leads to increased productivity. According to a productivity study in the United States, people who set specific goals showed 25% higher productivity than those who did not.
Third, divide work time into blocks to secure focus time. The 'Pomodoro Technique', which involves focusing for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break, is also recommended. This technique greatly helps in increasing concentration and reducing distractions. In fact, such short-term focus activities have been reported to improve work performance by 40%.
Fourth, optimize communication. Feeling connected with other team members is an important motivational factor. Frequently communicate through online meetings and messaging apps to make up for the lack of offline meetings.
Lastly, plan personal time as well. One of the biggest advantages of working from home is the flexible use of time. Clearly separate work from personal life to prevent burnout. Including breaks in your plan is also important. Maintaining a work-life balance will contribute to long-term productivity.
Although remote work has become the new normal after COVID-19, efforts are needed to maximize productivity within it. Manage your daily work plans and goals through the 'Daily Certification' app and consistently verify them. Small changes make a big difference.
