Hello there, good people of the world and fellow homebound workers.

Hola a todos, buena gente del mundo y compañeros que trabajan desde casa.

I'd like to share with you today five tips for working from home.

Hoy me gustaría compartir con ustedes cinco consejos para trabajar desde casa.

Now, these come from over 20 years of a career primarily spent either working remotely or from home.

Esta experiencia proviene de más de 20 años de una carrera profesional que he dedicado principalmente a trabajar de forma remota o desde casa.

I think over those 20 years, maybe one and a half or two years have actually been spent going into an office on a regular basis.

Creo que, en esos 20 años, quizás solo he pasado un año y medio o dos yendo a una oficina con regularidad.

You know, an eight to five type schedule, that sort of thing the rest have been spent working from client sites,

Ya sabes, un horario de ocho a cinco, ese tipo de cosas, el resto lo hemos pasado trabajando desde las instalaciones de los clientes,

working from home on some days of the week, and then more recently, predominantly working from a home office.

Trabajaba desde casa algunos días de la semana y, más recientemente, trabajaba principalmente desde una oficina en casa.

In my case, with a global organization where I work with and have people working for me all around the world.

En mi caso, trabajo para una organización global donde colaboro con personas que trabajan para mí en todo el mundo.

So let's jump right into it.

Así que, ¡vamos a ello directamente!

Tip number one, win the morning.

Primer consejo: gana la mañana.

I did a video on this a while ago.

Hice un vídeo sobre esto hace un tiempo.

It was one of my first videos.

Fue uno de mis primeros vídeos.

Like three people watched it.

Como si tres personas lo hubieran visto.

So those three, thank you.

Así que, gracias a esos tres.

Hopefully you found some degree of enlightenment.

Espero que hayas encontrado algún grado de claridad.

But basically what I would suggest if you're working from home, set up a morning routine and don't make it something where you're up,

Pero básicamente lo que yo sugeriría si trabajas desde casa es que establezcas una rutina matutina y no la conviertas en algo que te deje despierto,

you know, 10 minutes before your first meeting

Ya sabes, 10 minutos antes de tu primera reunión.

and you're kind of rolling out of bed and starting your day off in a rush to get to the first thing.

y es como si te levantaras de la cama a toda prisa y empezaras el día con ganas de llegar a lo primero que tienes que hacer.

I personally like to get up pretty early.

Personalmente, me gusta levantarme bastante temprano.

I get up around 5 15.

Me levanto alrededor de las 5:15.

I meditate in the morning.

Medito por la mañana.

I have some time to think to kind of go through my calendar, go through what I want to accomplish that day,

Tengo algo de tiempo para pensar, para repasar mi calendario, para repasar lo que quiero lograr ese día,

get myself mentally and physically organized, and then the kids wake up for school.

Me organizo mental y físicamente, y luego los niños se despiertan para ir al colegio.

I get them breakfast, get them out for the bus

Les preparo el desayuno y los acompaño hasta la parada del autobús.

and have a little bit of time with them each morning

y pasar un ratito con ellos cada mañana.

but I have a fixed routine and I make sure

pero tengo una rutina fija y me aseguro de

that routine includes some time for me to get organized have some quiet focus time

Esa rutina incluye algo de tiempo para que me organice y tenga un momento de tranquilidad para concentrarme.

if it's not your jam you know you don't have to get up at 5

Si no es lo tuyo, ya sabes que no tienes que levantarte a las 5.

but I would at least make sure you get up

pero al menos me aseguraría de que te levantaras

and give yourself enough time to have some quiet time have some focus time

y date suficiente tiempo para tener un momento de tranquilidad, un momento para concentrarte.

if nothing else be able to look through your calendar see

Si no hay otra forma de revisar tu calendario, verás

what the day has in store for you you know look through your task list see what kind of items

lo que el día te depara, ya sabes, revisa tu lista de tareas, mira qué tipo de elementos

you want to reprioritize or move around and basically end

quieres volver a priorizar o mover y básicamente terminar

that period with an idea of here's the you know one or two major things you want to accomplish that day.

ese período con la idea de aquí están, ya sabes, una o dos cosas importantes que quieres lograr ese día.

When you do start to get into your calls and your meetings you'll be more focused, you'll be more prepared, you'll be more kind of ready

Cuando empieces a participar en tus llamadas y reuniones, estarás más concentrado, más preparado y más listo.

and in the flow of the day versus you know rolling out of bed

y en el transcurso del día en lugar de, ya sabes, levantarse de la cama

and sort of rushing to get to your first meeting.

y con cierta prisa por llegar a tu primera reunión.

Speaking of meetings and that sort of thing they're kind of the bane for remote workers.

Hablando de reuniones y ese tipo de cosas, son una especie de pesadilla para los trabajadores remotos.

You know everyone I talk to one of their biggest complaints is I look at my calendar

Ya sabes, una de las mayores quejas de todas las personas con las que hablo es que miro mi calendario.

and the things just wall -to -wall you know

y las cosas están por todas partes, ¿sabes?

Zoom or Teams meetings.

Reuniones por Zoom o Teams.

I barely have time to go to the bathroom.

Apenas tengo tiempo para ir al baño.

That's the common complaint.

Esa es la queja más común.

That brings about tip number two, which is master your calendar.

Esto nos lleva al segundo consejo: domina tu calendario.

You could work for your Outlook

Podrías trabajar para tu Outlook

or Google Calendar where the thing just barrages you every 30 minutes telling you you need to call into something, you need to do something,

o Google Calendar, donde te bombardea cada 30 minutos diciéndote que necesitas llamar a algo, que necesitas hacer algo,

you need to be talking to someone, or worst case by two or three in the afternoon you're 15 minutes late for something

Necesitas hablar con alguien, o en el peor de los casos, a las dos o tres de la tarde llegarás 15 minutos tarde a algo.

because of all these other calls that ran over.

debido a todas esas otras llamadas que se extendieron.

Or alternatively, you can take control of your calendar

O bien, puedes tomar el control de tu calendario.

and use it as a tool to help you focus and have a productive day.

y úsala como una herramienta que te ayude a concentrarte y tener un día productivo.

So what I mean by that is go in and schedule time for you where you have time for focused work.

Lo que quiero decir con eso es que entres y reserves tiempo para ti en el que tengas tiempo para trabajar con concentración.

I block out my morning.

Bloqueo mi mañana.

Again, I go through that win the morning routine, get the kids off to school.

De nuevo, sigo con mi rutina matutina y llevo a los niños al colegio.

I try and get a workout in, generally a run or something like that.

Intento hacer ejercicio, normalmente correr o algo parecido.

And then I have my calendar open for meetings.

Y luego tengo mi calendario abierto para reuniones.

I also block an hour for lunch each day.

También reservo una hora al día para almorzar.

I, you know, usually don't sit there and have this elaborate one hour lunch, but I use that time to again kind of say,

Yo, ya sabes, normalmente no me siento allí a tener este elaborado almuerzo de una hora, pero uso ese tiempo para decir, de nuevo,

what did I do this morning?

¿Qué hice esta mañana?

What's happening in the afternoon?

¿Qué hay por la tarde?

Make sure I understand and I'm prepared for everything that's going on and have a little time to take a break.

Asegúrate de que entiendo y estoy preparado para todo lo que está sucediendo y tengo un poco de tiempo para tomar un descanso.

You know, I might go and take a walk.

Ya sabes, podría salir a dar un paseo.

I might read a book for 10, 15 minutes.

Puede que lea un libro durante 10 o 15 minutos.

I might fart around the internet for 10 or 15 minutes, but I have that break in the middle of the day that's blocked,

Puede que me pase 10 o 15 minutos navegando por Internet, pero tengo ese descanso a mitad del día que está bloqueado.

that's defined, that's scheduled.

Eso está definido, eso está programado.

Similarly, I'll put my kids key activities in my calendar.

Del mismo modo, anotaré las actividades principales de mis hijos en mi calendario.

You I don't necessarily put in what they are or anything.

No necesariamente pongo lo que son ni nada.

I don't specifically schedule the exact times.

No programo horarios específicos.

But if I've committed to taking my son to scouts

Pero si me he comprometido a llevar a mi hijo a los scouts

or taking my daughter to dance or taking the kids to other sporting events,

o llevar a mi hija a clases de baile o llevar a los niños a otros eventos deportivos,

I'll block that time out and just put NA in the description in case anyone needs to read it or whatnot.

Bloquearé ese tiempo y simplemente pondré NA en la descripción por si alguien necesita leerlo o algo así.

And that way people aren't scheduling meetings.

De esa forma, la gente no tiene que programar reuniones.

I'll try and put a 10 or 15 minute buffer

Intentaré dejar un margen de 10 o 15 minutos.

so I don't have to take meetings in the car unless it's urgent.

Así que no tengo que llevar reuniones al coche a menos que sea urgente.

And that way when people go and try and book those, you know, if they're rude, they'll just stomp over it.

Y de esa forma, cuando la gente vaya a intentar reservar esos lugares, ya sabes, si son groseros, simplemente los pisotearán.

If they're a reasonable human being, they'll say, hey, you know, the only time I can meet with you is 8 p .m.

Si son personas razonables, dirán: "Oye, sabes, el único momento en que puedo reunirme contigo es a las 8 de la noche".

I noticed you have it blocked.

He notado que lo tienes bloqueado.

Is there a way you can make an exception?

¿Hay alguna manera de que puedas hacer una excepción?

And then we can have a conversation.

Y entonces podremos conversar.

But in that case, I'm in control of my time.

Pero en ese caso, yo tengo el control de mi tiempo.

And it's me that decides whether I want to give that time to somebody versus just letting them,

Y soy yo quien decide si quiero dedicarle ese tiempo a alguien o simplemente dejar que lo haga.

you know, have access to 24 hours of my day each and every day.

Ya sabes, tener acceso a las 24 horas de mi día, todos los días.

Similarly, if you can set up one of those little things where people are able to book your calendar that are external,

De manera similar, si puedes configurar una de esas pequeñas cosas donde las personas pueden reservar tu calendario que son externas,

you know, if you meet with a lot of clients, if you meet with a lot of customers,

ya sabes, si te reúnes con muchos clientes, si te reúnes con muchos consumidores,

I think there's one tool called Calendry that everyone uses.

Creo que hay una herramienta llamada Calendar que todo el mundo usa.

Outlook or Microsoft now has a tool called Bookings,

Outlook o Microsoft ahora tiene una herramienta llamada Bookings,

where essentially you can send somebody a link and they can go in and find the time that's available.

Básicamente, puedes enviarle un enlace a alguien y esa persona puede entrar y encontrar el horario disponible.

You can set parameters.

Puedes configurar parámetros.

So, you know, I don't allow.. external meetings on Friday afternoons if I can help it and that sort of thing.

Así que, ya sabes, no permito... reuniones externas los viernes por la tarde si puedo evitarlo y ese tipo de cosas.

And that saves you from those stupid email exchanges of, you know, hey, would you like to meet?

Y eso te ahorra esos estúpidos intercambios de correos electrónicos del tipo, ya sabes, oye, ¿te gustaría que nos viéramos?

I have, you know, Tuesday afternoon, Wednesday from this time and Thursday from this time.

Tengo, ya sabes, el martes por la tarde, el miércoles a partir de esta hora y el jueves a partir de esta hora.

Then you write back to me on, you know, Thursday morning and say, I'd like to meet Thursday afternoon and that time's already booked.

Entonces me respondes el jueves por la mañana y me dices que te gustaría reunirte conmigo el jueves por la tarde, pero esa hora ya está reservada.

And we spend 40 minutes going back and forth arguing about times.

Y pasamos 40 minutos discutiendo sobre los horarios.

This way I send somebody a link, you know, it's up to the minute.

De esta forma le envío un enlace a alguien, ya sabes, está actualizado al minuto.

It sucks all the data out of my calendar it has kind of my own rules set in there

Extrae todos los datos de mi calendario; tiene una especie de reglas propias configuradas allí.

and it saves that back and forth.

y así se evitan esos viajes de ida y vuelta.

Third tip, get a dedicated space and keep it clean.

Tercer consejo: consiga un espacio exclusivo y manténgalo limpio.

And, you know, this may be feel like it's an easy tip for me to give living in the suburbs

Y, ya sabes, puede que este sea un consejo fácil de dar para quienes viven en los suburbios.

and actually having two dedicated workspaces.

You know, if you're in an apartment in Manhattan or Tokyo or whatever, and you know, you're sort of taken aback saying,

hey, I can barely afford space for myself, let alone a dedicated workspace.

100

I think you can still

101

put this tip into action and you don't necessarily need to have a whole room in your house.

102

You don't necessarily have to have this big, fantastic, dedicated physical space.

103

Even if you're working from your kitchen table, you know, create some ritual around converting that kitchen table into your workspace.

104

So, you know, I've heard of people that'll put their laptop in a work bag every day.

105

And then when they're ready to work, you know, they take their bag out, they put on the table, they take the laptop out.

106

You know, some people have a little, you know, token or talisman they put on the desk.

107

It could be a little vase with a fake flower.

108

It could be a picture of, you know, something.

109

But essentially what you're trying to do is create this mental trigger that, hey, I'm at work now.

110

You know, I'm sitting in my space.

111

Even if it was the kitchen table 15 minutes ago, it's now my office.

112

I've got my work tools here.

113

You know, I've got things laid out and I'm ready to be productive and I'm ready to start my day.

114

If you do have a dedicated space, and again, that could be a, you know, a corner of your room and,

115

you know, I've lived in apartments.

116

I've worked on the kitchen table and that sort of thing

117

or it could be a dedicated room try

118

and keep it clean you know i will generally on sunday try

119

and clean up my office

120

that ends up being our you know receiving center for our

121

home all the amazon junk gets in there i tend to have a few projects going

122

and we'll leave some junk around but i'll try and clean

123

that up so at least on monday morning

124

when i come in the space is clean you know things are kind of serene

125

and again it gets me into that mode of focusing on I'm starting the work week, I'm ready to be productive,

126

I'm ready to shift from you know being at home

127

and hanging out to still physically being at home but now being in the workplace.

128

Fourth tip, if you're going to invest in anything for your home office, invest in a good chair.

129

And I'm generally somebody that considers themselves a big dumb animal.

130

I don't invest in tons of creature comforts.

131

I you know would rather buy a camera or a laptop

132

or something cool than buy a piece of furniture

133

but a good ergonomic office chair makes a world of difference especially

134

when you're working from home you tend to sit more you know

135

if i'm working through a day probably the only time

136

i get up other than going to lunch is you know to go get some water go use the facilities

137

so you're spending a lot more time in

138

that chair it's not a very healthy thing for your body

139

and if you're sitting in a bad chair you know i started getting a sore back when i had a 50 dollar,

140

you know, local office supply store special, that's just not good for you.

141

It's not good for your health, it's not good for your comfort, and it makes working from home a lot less comfortable.

142

A good ergonomic office chair new is going to cost you probably in excess of a thousand bucks.

143

You know, for me that was a bit of a kick in the cojones just putting

144

that much money out for a chair.

145

But conversely, number one, it's good for your health.

146

Number two, you're going to feel better and not feel sore and not,

147

you know, get up like a creaky old man when you do get out of your chair.

148

And number three, a good chair is going to last you 15 years.

149

So you take that thousand bucks over the course of 15 years,

150

you know, 70, 80 bucks a year doesn't look that bad in terms of the amount of comfort it brings you.

151

You can also look on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.

152

Sometimes people will be selling good chairs.

153

You know, if there's a local company that goes out of business, they may have a whole bunch of good office chairs that they're releasing.

154

There are office supply stores that will sell used chairs and equipment from companies that have gone out of business.

155

So there are some ways to cut costs, but you know, plan on spending a grand or more, get yourself a good chair,

156

you know, don't get some gamer chair or the chair that's 50 bucks at,

157

you know, the local office supply store because your back is going to hate you for doing that.

158

And the final tip, and this is probably the one I struggle with the most, is close down your workday.

159

So just like you have a ritual at the beginning of the day,

160

you know, again, that could be opening up your laptop at the kitchen table, that could be walking into the lovely dedicated room within your home.

161

You also need a way to mentally shut down and stop work.

162

I've struggled with this quite a bit, particularly if you're on calls in the evening,

163

if you're wrapping up a call around 7 30 and the whole family's waiting for you to have dinner,

164

the temptation is to hit that hang up button and scoot into the kitchen and sit down and say, hey, I'm here.

165

The problem with that is your brain is still at work.

166

And this is where I've struggled.

167

You know, you've got the whole family there, you're having dinner.

168

For us, that's a very important thing is having that family dinner each evening.

169

And, you know, yes, my big old butt is there at dinner, but my brain is still at work.

170

It's trying to process that call.

171

It's, you know, thinking about all the things that I haven't done yet and all that nonsense.

172

So what I try and do, even if I have that late evening call and I'm, you know, rushing to get to dinner,

173

is even if you just take five minutes, you know, I'll shut down all my work -related applications.

174

You know, maybe I'll just kind of pace around my office for a couple or three minutes.

175

Maybe I'll just close everything down, close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths.

176

But have some ritual where you end the work day.

177

You know, I think the one thing we miss by working from home is,

178

you know, yes, the commute kind of sucked and driving back and forth, but it was a, you know,

179

very concrete and fixed ritual where you would finish the work day, you would get in your car,

180

get on the train or whatever and you would have

181

that time to decompress and to kind of mentally file away the workday and prepare for your life at home.

182

So to the extent you can duplicate that experience it'll make you more present for your family,

183

you know, roommates, spouse, whoever lives in the apartment with you.

184

If you live by yourself you know it'll let you shift those mental gears and let you engage in your hobbies,

185

let you engage in some rest and relaxation and not essentially be working around the clock.

186

I think one of the big dangers and it's become a little bit cliched, but this idea of, you know,

187

sometimes working from home can turn into living at work.

188

And if you don't have these rituals where you're able to shut down to end your workday, it's very easy to fall into the trap of,

189

you know, oh, my laptop's 20 feet away.

190

You know, let me just poke over there and see who emailed me.

191

Or, you know, it's 10 in the morning or 10 at night and you can't sleep.

192

You know, let me log on and do a few things. Or, you know, sure, I'll schedule

193

that call with you know whatever other country at three in the morning

194

and you know I'll do

195

that three four times a week you end up just impacting your life to an unreasonable extent

196

and that not only makes you a less optimized human

197

but it also makes you a less effective worker

198

so I'm not just saying you should you know sandbag

199

and phone it in or quiet quit

200

or whatever the cool term is these days taking care of yourself you know book ending

201

that work day making sure you're taking time for yourself

202

and time to open and close the workday properly will make you a more effective and more productive worker.

203

So if you have any tips that you've come up with working from home, if you have any great ideas,

204

you know, whether it's a practice that you engage in or a gadget or something, throw it in the comments.

205

I am particularly interested since I am a consumer of these tips as somebody that works from home generally.

206

Would appreciate that, appreciate you, you know, keep up the good hard work from home

207

and hopefully these tips help make you a happier

208

and more effective remote worker and wish you all the best in all your pursuits.

209

Big Heavy, signing out.

210

Peace.

211

Ever wonder why every talking head on YouTube asks you to hit the like

212

and subscribe button at the end of their video?

213

You were right, because we're living in a computer simulation,

214

and our benevolent robotic overlords get just a little bit of energy every time you hit that like.

215

So do me, the rest of civilization, and our benevolent robotic overlords a favor.

216

Match that subscribe, be kind to each other, keep living your simulated dreams.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales.
