in the virtual working environment. You can do task ahead of time that will benefit you. This will keep you on track of the
task and your time managed.
Assess the task you are supposed to do. Think of ways to do it ahead of time if your schedule
allows.

enough to stick with a realistic timetable of
activities even when no one is watching.
Maintain and develop a productive work habit so
you won’t miss a deadline.
Always have a notepad, pen and a calendar in your work station. Plan ways on
how to accomplish your task ahead of time and recall it every time you
start to work.
FOCUS
You will be working on a home office is exposing
yourself to more distractions. You will be
constantly interrupted by a lot of things and these diversions will have big impact on your ability to
concentrate.
Having a laser-like focus will help you identify
what are the things to be done right on time.
Keep your goals in sight. It will not hurt if you will take breaks to refresh
your mind.
VALUE FOR COMMUNICATION
Communication is essential in any form of business. You are not
present physically should not prevent you from
being visible to your co-employees.
You can be absent physically with your co-workers, but you must ensure your availability and visibility by other
means like online applications.
An open line of communication is the foundation of a strong
collaboration in the virtual setting.
Jobs in the virtual office are far from the traditional ones and you, as aspiring employee should assess if you are a perfect fit for it. Know your strengths and weaknesses and think of ways on how
you can use them for your advantage.
