Focus Blocks for Undistracted Work Time
When working from home, the expectation of constant availability can make it hard to focus and separate work from personal life. By setting up designated “focus blocks” on your calendar, you can establish periods for deep work and periods for availability. This approach allows you to manage your time effectively and avoid unnecessary interruptions, creating a sustainable structure for work-life balance. Communicating your focus blocks helps reinforce boundaries while letting colleagues know that remote work doesn’t mean you’re “always on.”
