Work From Home Tips from the Gravity Haus Team

January 24, 2021

In 2020, we saw a major shift in work behavior. Offices closed, leases were canceled and more people started shopping online for desks, office chairs and supplies. At Gravity Haus, we’ve always functioned remotely (for the most part). From team meetings, to birthday celebrations and more – virtual gatherings have been our jam.

We’re no exception to the struggles we all encounter when it comes to work from home life, so we rounded up a handful of our top tips for staying productive and focused while at home.

WORK FROM HOME TIPS

Stick to a routine. When I'm working I'm at work, and when work is done I try hard to disconnect and spend time with my family. It doesn't hurt that I have a job that I love -- that means work doesn't feel like work. I'm just doing something I really enjoy.

Matt Windt

EVP, Marketing

I time block and hold myself accountable to it. Time blocking is time that cannot be interrupted. I don't let anyone interrupt blocked time unless it's 100% necessary. The Productivity Journal has also been a huge help - I highly recommend!

Claire McManus

SVP, Events / EXPERIENCES

I find I'm super, super productive in the AM when I'm heads down and crushing coffee. So I have a 6:25 alarm everyday and start crushing all my emails and left over items before I go workout or go into the Haus. The rest of the day I block my time, write down my tasks and stick to them.

In the beginning, I used to get the worst back / neck aches from bad posture and working at the kitchen table. Investing in a laptop stand, Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and supportive chair was the best WFH decision I've made. Less aching = less time you need to "pause" your work day.

Julie Howsmon

Director of Marketing

Patterns are key! I love creating a structure for work periods and meetings. I also break the day into 3 - 4 parts and plan out tasks based on when I know I'm most productive. First - be productive in the morning. Second, is a workout at Dryland or something active outdoors. Third, a longer and productive work cycle. I wrap my day with a fourth segment of walking the dogs and cooking dinner with my family.
