Timetable: Creating a timetable is important to ensure better workflow and avoid distractions. If the employee manages a schedule, he or she will know where they are lagging behind and how to manage their daily routine of work – professional or domestic.

Work hours: Though many consider that work from home means working as per convenience but defining work hours is important. This way the employee will know by what time one has to get over from other activities at home to be free to work.

Right tools of work: Connectivity, communication, sharing work details, staying updated with the latest developments requires the right tools. If one is working with a team or for clients then using the right tools to share work progress is a must.
