Entry to coworking in Gracia, Barcelona
Despite the fact that we go to work every day, that we carry out our tasks on time during working hours and that we are more than used to carrying out our functions in the company, It is difficult to organize a list of the actions to be performed. This means, therefore, that the labor productivity that can be reflected in our results. The most important thing when it comes to organizing a good work routine is to be clear about what tasks you have ahead of you. It is also very important to be patient and know how much time (minutes, hours, days, weeks...) you have to deliver these tasks. Do you have a pen and paper at your fingertips? Write down our tips!

1. Make a list of your tasks

After writing down in your notebook the tips we give you to organize your work routine, write down a list of tasks. What is due today? It is very important to help you with an overview of everything you have to do during your workday. It will be easier if you arrange the tasks in different rows with a short description of each one. It is best to organize the tasks in a logical order. As a recommendation, choose to write the most complex tasks first and the more time they will take away from you; so in decreasing sense and that the last ones you make are the simplest ones.  

2. Divide the workday into hours

Catch a table divided into the hours of your working day and write down in each box which task you will perform in each of them. This is another way to get an overview of the tasks you have for today, but with a more specific time you will want to spend on each of them. Another good idea is to the use of post itWhat would an office be without them? Paste them on the wall, on the computer or where you can best see them. It will be easier for you to differentiate each task by color or shape.

3. Distractions, zero!

Please, before starting any task... get rid of distractions! Such as your smartphone, tablet games, WhatsApp Web and many other items that can make you think about shrews instead of finishing your work. Take your eyes off anything that may be more interesting than your workday. It may be that working from home is even more tempting the fact of being distracted by the long list of things that could break your concentration (by this we mean the sofa, the TV, the bed... and even the fridge). As for the last point, do you know that your work productivity will be enhanced if you work from a place other than your own home? We tell you about it in the fourth point.  

4. Determine a fixed place of work

One office, one coworking... these are two suitable places to perform your work tasks. Avoid working from home whenever possible to eliminate the distractions mentioned above. The environment, the obligation to leave home, relationships with other people... everything influences your work productivity. In addition, working in a coworking is much more dynamic and your routine will be less aggressive with your ability to concentrate. Haven't you tried a coworking space?  

5. Value your free time

If you perform your tasks at the times you have previously set for yourself, you will certainly have some time for yourself. Resting is part of the routine and it is always good to take a break between hours. Put aside work as soon as you have everything well tied up and relax, it will be beneficial for your mind and, therefore, for your health. We would love to know what routine do you follow? to make your workday a success. We hope these tips are of great help and remember: the place where you perform your routine says a lot about you.
