Working from HOME Routine + productivity tips

[@meghanlivingstone]

Do you work from home? If you have any tips of your own, feel free to share :)

[@monikakamila]

Meghan Livingstone I’m on disability so I’m always home. I go on walks which is essential for my mental health

[@magn0lia_tree655]

Meghan Livingstone I have worked from home for years, a few key things for me to avoid distraction myself include, prepping breakfast the night before (overnight oats), turning off new email notifications on outlook so I’m not tempted to stop what I’m doing and read each new email, using video for important meetings to be sure I’m ‘present’ and don’t zone out (!) and making sure desk is clean as I finish for the day. I could go on!! Love the channel, thanks always for the great content. ✨💫💖🇬🇧

[@Abealx]

As said dress code is a must for me as I feel good in them, also plays music not with vocals as they tempt me to sing along. This is to avoid the lonely and silent feel

[@CaylynAdamko]

I make a little to do list the night before! It gives me little accomplishments to look forward to each day, and I don't accidentally overwhelm myself cause I write it in the evening when I'm a little sleepy. It helps me have realistic expectations of myself!

[@clearlycristal4313]

I’ve been working from home for the past 6 months and yes one of my biggest tips is to take breaks especially lunch breaks and step away from work and enjoy your break. It’s hard but it’s super important for your mental health. I also turn off notifications for most of the day that way my emails can only be accessed on my computer and not distracting me on my phone when I’m away from my computer. Helps separate work and personal life.

[@JessicaBurgo]

Your editing is just everything. So relaxing

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aw thanks so much Jessica!

[@lucka102]

That deep work you are talking about is called flow, it's my favourite state to be in.

[@annahristova8742]

You have such a clear tone of explaining, it's really satisfying to just listen to you.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Thank you Anna! I'm really glad to hear that! :-)

[@lylealee9704]

Having a proper home office or desk where you can work confortably is a must

[@sarahecho]

This is the video that first drew me to your channel, and now it's my favorite! I started working from home due to the COVID-19 outbreak in early March, and I am scheduled to stay working from home until October of this year...I wish I could make it permanent! I've started incorporating many of your tips and they have really helped. The only one I still struggle with (as many of my coworkers do) is actually getting dressed for the day! I tend to just get up and start working, instead of making time for my normal morning routine. My goal this month is to re-establish my morning routine. I think it will really help to make me feel much more productive. Thank you, Meghan!

[@jane584]

Thank you for such great ideas and reminders, Meghan. I really like the appearance of your Evernote setup--the clean, white page, the checklist with a bulleted list beneath it, and the calendar. Would you ever do a How I Use Evernote or Evernote Basics video? I've found Evernote's own tutorials really complicated and more intended for people who will use it in groups. My use would look more like yours, I think; just for me and not more complicated than needed. Thanks for thinking about it, and for the helpful video!

[@erintannehill]

I have extensions on my browser that help keep me focused during work hours. Also, I pay attention to my natural energy levels as to how I plan my day. The afternoons are when I’m the most groggy, so I always plan some kind of movement after lunch. Trying to work through it doesn’t work, but getting outside for 20 minutes help me build up a second wind of energy to work a bit longer.

[@meghanlivingstone]

Love that, great point. I feel similar in the afternoon too, and getting outside/some movement really helps.

[@faithfullee9689]

I love this. Most of what you’ve shared, has been apart of my routine. However, I do need to start getting dressed in the morning. Working from home is good for my mental health, but it does mean I need to be cognitively aware of work verses home styles. Thank you!

[@meghanlivingstone]

Yes, definitely! It's easy to fall into the pattern of wanting to do home-things instead of work things.

[@sheenashi5671]

the value of her vidoes are so aesthetic and great, and Im wondering y she couldnt gain more and more subs.. .

[@MrAnythingForSelenas]

I'm doing housekeeping at a hotel right now but I do plan on working from home I'm basically going to do the same job my roommate is doing that involves insurance and Medicare. I'm tired of the morning rush late nights and not being appreciated most of the time. This is definitely something I will engage in doing.

[@jyotib354]

In these stressful times, your video is like a soothing balm Meghan . I'm a doctor from India. So not working from home. Kindly do a video for people who r working there at the front and how to cope up with stress ! Love ya!

[@athomeimmum2247]

I'm still going out to work as a Key Worker here in the UK...this is for 2 or 3 days a week. On other days I'm working from home and loved this and thinking about how to make the most of my time...especially as the kids and my husband are at home working and doing school also. It's such a different way of life but we can all master it with a conscious effort. Stay safe!

[@sharonneontshelo7518]

This was so helpful.I'm not used to working from home and have been struggling a little but,but this pointed me in the right direction.thank you

[@mickeeva]

Wow this was so satisfying to watch

[@mixedreceptions]

Ngl at first I was "not another aesthetic vid" (in general not specifically this channel, first time here) You shared excellent tips in a clear tone even at 1.5x and it was enjoyable, concise, and helpful. Thank you

[@lamthanh7354]

I just want to feel happy again. Like when I was a kid I woke up happy now I roll out of bed looking for an excuse to keep living. Recently I started using Forwago and I think it helps me. I feel that I am on a good path to become a happier person. Wish me luck!

[@ammaral_amri8261]

always positive vibes from your videos 🤍

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

I've been replaying your videos on a playlist :) One of my best moment of the day is to make a tea and listen to your tips. I especially love your "Slow Living" video :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Aw that's really nice to hear. Glad I've been part of your day!

[@petitsjoujoux5011]

Ohhh I really NEEDED this video! Thank you so much! I'm very active at my job (chasing after kids), so teaching online/work meetings and sitting down makes my body feel TERRIBLE. My biggest tip is to just stand up during the meeting and stretch and move around. So far, my boss haven't fired me from looking silly on the screen xD!

[@lainsimple5285]

I love your videos! And this is especially helpful right now as many people are working from home. I like your tip about making time to eat lunch and take a break. I find myself ignoring those urges to eat just to finish what I’m working on. Ill try to be better about that!

[@christinemcveigh4273]

Great tips! Its the small details that make the day flow. Thanks

[@BasicallyBrittx]

This was such a helpful video! I work at home 4 days a week so could definitely use this!

[@meghanlivingstone]

So glad it was helpful!!

[@intuitivelyinsync6500]

Ive noticed burning handles and keeping crystals around me helps my energy stable. I'm going to also get some essential oils to help with fatigue and headaches

[@LaBellax29]

Love, love, love this video. Your editing style is just... everything :)

[@mindtech925]

Amazing tips and advice. Working at home can be more productive . It's all about the mindset ! Great video !

[@SKHandcraftedClay]

I have been able to start working from home and your tips are really helpful! Thanks!

[@Bloombaby99]

I can't wait to get my own place (I rent a room) so I can be in a state of Zen and have a nicely decorated oasis/sanctuary like Meghan. 😎

[@CodeDeb]

Helpful! Thanks!

[@brittneykristina2487]

I love the idea of putting your phone in another room! I definitely need to do this! Today was the first day I got up at 9 am, worked out, and started my day off right--normally I let myself sleep in late and do whatever feels good. But waking up early and having a routine is so important!

[@meghanlivingstone]

It's really helpful to get it out of the way! And yes definitely - having that routine in place makes a big difference :)

[@anisaanorve]

Stumbled across your channel and I LOVE your content!

[@rathanny]

I love this! So simple yet so effective !

[@soloromy9733]

So helpful. I'm new in this world of doing home office and I'm still not very used to it so I'll try to come up with a useful routine as you suggest. Thank you for the tips Meghan :D

[@Minfili86]

Loved it! Great tips and strategies beautifully made. :)

[@dhruvinpatel9205]

It is very easy to find yourself working non-stop when you’re at home and even extending work up to the late hours of the night. A study has revealed that the average working hours in the U.S. are 3 hours longer since mid-March. Remember that this was not the way you worked at the office; you had moments you would chat with colleagues or take coffee breaks. Optometrist and Founder at Ocushield.

[@nedamahfooz1713]

What beautiful plants you have!! In one clip speak about them please.😍😍😍

[@holliejenniferparry810]

Hi Meghan! Do you follow any specific regimen for your cycle? I.e diet or exercise adaptations for each phase? Would love more videos on this!

[@oums.kaewsiwawong2031]

Great video as always! I've been working from home for a few days because of covid-19 situation. This video really helps me be more focused on my work and inspired me to be more happy with my daily routine. Thanks a lot! ps. Could you make a video about making a to-do list on evernote, please? :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Hey there! Oh I'm so happy this was helpful for you. I'll keep that Evernote idea in mind - perhaps a blog post, or an in-depth video of how I use a to-do list!

[@ksarg3006]

Happy to see you are doing well. I have that same yoga mat. :)

[@meghanlivingstone]

Oh really?! Hehe that's cool. Gaiam?

[@ksarg3006]

[@arisbertha]

Esto es demasiado ZEN, cómo le haces si tienes juntas desde las 7:30 y acabas a las 11 de la noche. Trabajo que hacer pero las juntas no te dejan, etc? im lost!

[@ednaevans2025]

Love your Video's

[@hannahewing2578]

Great video Meghan! I am also one who struggles to stay focused and love the idea of having a list that I consult with in the morning before I start working. Quick question, which app do you use for list making and calendar? Is it something that is only for apple?

[@shaylendoolittle]

Cute apartment

[@meghanlivingstone]

Thank you :D

[@aptedugate]

what kind of software you use for edit your videos ?

[@lawaloluwaseun8745]

Half year ago I started using Forwago and I was so impressed that I recommended it to 2 of my best friends. I really enjoy how the personalized plans help me not just to reach my goals, but instead to enjoy while moving forward to my goals.

[@Simply.Mariela]

these are great tips! I am new to working from home and have come up with a similar routine. I actually just uploaded mine on my channel yesterday 😅

[@meghanlivingstone]

That's awesome! Hope it's going well for you so far :)

[@cristelmariebuenafe]

We kinda have the same routine. :)

Forwago plans really helped me in many different ways. I started eating healthier and workout regularly, and it really increased my self-confidence. Man, it feels amazing. Everybody should feel good about yourself and your body :)

[@harshitkumar766]

Forwago plans really helped me achieve progress on my physical and mental well-being. You should check it out. It might help you too.
