Be more productive: expert offers timely advice

Cambridge Network — 26 January 2021

Remote work saves us a lot of commuting time, however most people report that they are not using this extra time wisely. Prof. Dr. Jochen Menges offers the following advice for using spare time more productively:

• establish a work-home boundary and switch off work at the end of the day;

• use leisure time more actively for example by volunteering or socializing rather than passive activities like watching TV;

• identify a ‘must win’ everyday instead of having long task lists;

• block some time slots so you can get important work done effectively without being interrupted.
