在家工作时,工作和私事的分界线总是容易变得暧昧,工作时间减少,工作效率降低。是什么原因让人们在家工作的效率降低,又有什么办法可以提高效率呢?
在家工作的效率降低的原因
目前在美国,有将近五分一人选择在家办公。本应该一天工作7,8个小时的他们,不但没有因为时间的富裕而更加辛勤的工作,甚至有很多人实际上每天只工作时间1小时。而另外有三成人表示,他们在家中上班十分放松,通常是穿着睡衣工作。
这是来自美国一公司的调查,他们对五千多个在家办公的美国人进行了调查,其中三成人表示会工作到8小时以上,四成人表示每天会在家工作4到7个小时,而其他则少的可怜。或许他们老板看到这样的调查会崩溃。
具体到在家工作时间少的可怜的原因,心理学家也作出了一些分析,在家工作效率一般,其主要原因是家庭杂事会分散注意力,人们的懒得心理成了主要因素。研究显示,有三成人表示在家会有拖延时间的毛病,会故意先做家务事来回避工作任务。两成人选择看电视来逃避工作,还有两成人选择先同自己的宠物玩耍,而其他则是因为总是被家里的孩子打断工作。
不过这些看似只不过是一些借口而已,在家上班时没有监督力才是罪魁祸首。有心理学家就表示,“懒惰心理是人类的天性,在没有压力的时候自然会体现出来,而家中上班没有了老板的监督,员工大多有安全的心理,从而放松了对自己的要求。”为此心理学家建议公司老板们最好给那些在家办公的人制定一个天计划,来避免效率过低的问题。
提高在家工作效率的方法
1、为自己收拾出一个办公室,或者至少是一片工作区域,这将是你工作的地方
如果没有一个单独房间作为办公室,你可以在餐桌上工作,虽然这不是很理想。如果把笔记本电脑放在电视机前的话,你会面对许多诱惑。你一定想确保你的家庭办公室拥有你需要的一切,这可能是一根额外的电话线,无论是固定电话或Skype。买个好的办公桌,椅子以及电脑,让您能舒适地工作,但不要太舒服,你会松懈的。
2、拿出长时间段进行工作
在家工作可以使你的工作时间更灵活,但如果你经常被打扰,那么把事情做好会很难。尽量确保你拿出大块时间段进行工作。例如,如果您需要进行8小时的工作,把它分成3小时,2小时,和3小时3个时间段。如果您需要跑腿或其他的杂事,把它们安排在时间块的间隔。
3、养成每天离开家出去走走的习惯
没有什么会比每周七天每天二十四小时呆在家更让你疯狂的了。去户外散散步,使头脑清晰,以增强长期工作的耐力。
4、创建一个每天待办的任务列表
因为在家工作很容易走神,待办的任务列表能使你明确你的进度。虽然我不是喜欢经常做计划列表的人,但我发现这是非常有益的,而当我懈怠时,它会清楚地显示出我没完成的任务。
5、 不要同时做多项工作
虽然有的人的确能够同时处理很多事情,但是对于大多数人来说,还是一件事一件事地处理起来效率比较高。设计、编程以及写作等需要集中注意力的工作就不用说了,不管做什么事情,都不要这儿弄一下那儿插一脚,还是将注意力集中在一件事情上比较好。
Distinguish beeen work and home mode
One of the biggest perks about working from home - slowly moving from bed to the sofa five minutes before you start - can also be your biggest challenge
says Eyre-White.
Don't fet that you are there to work - so set yourself up the right way
get dressed and brush your teeth at the start of the day rather than sitting in your pyjamas for eight hours. "Switch from home to work mode
" she says
by having something you physically do to "flip the switch".
别忘了你是在上班——所以要把自己收拾好,穿好衣服,起牀后刷牙,而不是穿着睡衣坐上8个小时。她说:“从家庭模式切换到工作模式”的方法是做些事情来“触动转换开关”。
"Maybe it's walking round the block
making a special kind of tea
or lighting a candle at your desk. It doesn't matter what it is but do it without fail to create a strong association in your mind
" she says.
Be realistic about what you can achieve
"A wide
open day working from home can feel full of possibilities. 145 things on the to do list? No problem! Don't fall into the trap of being over-ambitious
" says Eyre-White.
Instead
she remends being realistic and then possibly achieving more than you set out to; and feeling satisfied
rather than feeling disappointed you didn't do everything.
She suggests choosing three to five things to do and aim to get the majority done before lunch. "We all slow down in the mid-afternoon and having a lot of your list under your belt will give you the momentum to power through
" she remends.
Work in short bursts
In the office your day is broken up by everything from meetings to water-cooler chats
lunch breaks and even toilet breaks
but when you are sat at home on your own with no face-to-face interaction planned it can be easy to just work for long
unbroken periods.
"When we're in the office our day is normally broken up with meetings. Although this can be frustrating
they divide the day up and create natural chunks of time
" explains Eyre-White. "In contrast
a day at home can be very unstructured."
In order to be productive she remends imposing structure on yourself. For example
working in 45-60 minute chunks of focused work followed by a short break. "This can be an effective way to break the day up and maintain your concentration levels
" she says.
Don't fet to take breaks
It can be difficult to tear yourself away from your laptop if you're worried people might think you're slacking off
but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take breaks. "Just because you're feeling fy at home
it doesn't mean you don't need a proper break
" says Eyre-White.
"Leave your desk for lunch and take advantage of being at home to walk the dog and blow the cobwebs away for half an hour in the afternoon. You'll return feeling refreshed and more productive for the rest of the day."
This also includes making sure you make time to make proper meals and drink water regularly
rather than snacking continuously throughout the day and then crashing in a sugar slump at 3pm.
Manage distractions
Being in an office gives us a limited number of ways to get distracted but when you start working in a new environment (especially a very familiar one) it can be easy to let yourself get distracted.
"There are a lot of potential distractions when we work from home
" says Eyre-White. "So proactively manage things which might interrupt your focus."
She explains: "Keep them limited to short breaks in beeen chunks of focused work. A change of scene is all we need to give our brain a break
and it's the perfect time to put a load of washing on or empty the dishwasher."
Be sociable
Unless you're self-isolating
working from home shouldn't mean that you don't leave the house at all or don't see anyone for o weeks - ensure you still keep up social interaction.
"If you're the kind of person who'll miss your colleagues when you work from home
build opportunities for socialising in to your day
" says Eyre-White
who remends trying to call colleagues rather than always email or Slack messaging.
