Working from home and looking for a system to organize your schedule? Grab this free printable Work from Home Planner and get started planning. This planner can help you structure your day and plan out your work ahead of time so you can get more things done while at home.
When working from home, a lot of people think that you have the luxury of time. You can have long breakfasts, you can lounge around in your pajamas all day, and you don’t need a work schedule because you own your time. Well, that’s definitely not the case if you want to be productive. And I can vouch for that.
Working from home for almost six years now, my experience taught me that although I am at the comforts of my home doing my job, I still need a work schedule to follow, as I would in the office so that I can make the most of my time. I set my working hours. I even schedule my work breaks. And set work plans for each day. I may just be working from home, but yes, I am also working.
Creating a WFH (Work from Home) schedule is necessary when working from home. But happily, we can choose when is the best time for us to work. I personally find the early morning as my most productive time. I get to start my work early, have time to be with my kids when their up, and work again till my scheduled break time.
As Shawn Mason Spence, the author of The Work From Home Bible, says, “Working from home requires discipline, focus, and commitment, but the flexibility to define that yourself…”
As most companies worldwide are implementing mandatory remote work due to the COVID-19 crisis, today, on the blog, I thought of sharing a free printable Work from Home Planner with hopes to help people manage their time while working from home.
How the Free Printable Work From Home Planner Can Help You
If working from home is just new to you, this planner is designed to help you adapt to the change. With it, you can set your working parameters, create a work and home routine, and organize your work plans. It’s a simple planner that can help you minimize your work distractions and maximize your productive times, while at home.
Here are some ways that the Work from Home Planner can help you.
1. Map out your work plans for the week ahead of time.
The Work from Home Planner includes weekly planning pages that you can use to organize your work plans ahead of time. Solidifying your schedule for the next week will give you clearer directions on the things you need to accomplish.
2. Plan your day like you would in the office.
With distractions here and there, it’s easy to lose your focus when you’re working at home. This is why you need to structure your day as you would when you’re in the office.
The Work from Home Planner includes daily planners that can help you stay on schedule. These daily planners will help you segment your to-dos and schedule them over the course of the day. They will also help you set your working hours as well as your breaks. And since you’re in the home setting for work, they include a spot where you can plan out physical activities as well as your meals.
The sample daily planner shown below also comes in a blank template in your download so you can tailor it according to your planning preference.
3. Get organized.
Keeping your work-life balance is often more challenging when working from home because your work is just right in front of you. You have the tendency to work all through the day, forgetting the other things that matter to you. And planning is the key to maintain balance.
The free printable Work from Home Planner includes printables that will help you plan your home to-dos, work to-do’s, life bucket lists, and so much more. You can also find work stay-at-home free printable resources in this post.
4. Stay motivated.
It’s important to stay inspired when working from home. While it may have several challenges, admit it, “There’s nothing like staying at home for real comfort” as what Jane Austen puts it.
The Work from Home planner also includes motivational quotes that you can use as your planner dividers or as art prints for your home office.
