How to Work in Two Places at Once

Organizing space and time for optimal productivity is challenging even when working from one office. In our current world, many of us now need to do one job in two different locations – business/academic and home office. This presentation offers tips and techniques on how to stay organized and how to manage the flow of work in a hybrid work environment. We will address larger concepts, such as dealing with mindset, increasing flexibility, setting up functional systems that can work in multiple settings, and then drill down to practical content which can be immediately implemented. Topics such as flexible home office set-up for various living situations, dealing with paper and digital files in dual spaces, planning and scheduling, establishing routines, dealing with interruptions, stay on top of your email inbox and enhancing communication with both colleagues and those at home will be covered. While some will already have much experience in working exclusively from home or exclusively from a business or academic office setting, hybrid working is new to many. The goal of this presentation is to give participants the tools to increase their comfort and maintain peak productivity in working from any setting – office or home.
