To be at your best when you work from home, you must pair the nature of your work with the tools and environment that are most helpful to accomplish the purpose of the task. Sounds simple, but the most advanced productivity coaching is often subtle and profound.

Here are the steps:

1. Determine what kind of work do you need to get done?

• • What category of work is it?
  • Free Day; Focus Day; or Buffer Day?
  • 3 Fold Nature of Work
    1. Pre-Defined Tasks already on lists
    2. Defining Tasks and processing information
    3. Unplanned Tasks

2. Choose the right tool

• • What tools do you have available?

3. Set up your workspace environment

• • What different rooms would be helpful?

4. Ask Questions

• • What will your stopping point look like?
  • How will you know when you're done?
  • What will it look like when it's done?
  • What will you look like when you're done?
  • What does doing look like?
