Whether you're working remotely one day per week (or more) or full-time—by choice or because of a health scare - it's crucial to ensure that you are set up to be productive. Here are some extra tips to help you maximize your productivity.
The Internet is necessary for our daily work. If your downloading speed is slow, it could take days to download YouTube videos, transfer files to colleagues, or upload your working stuff. Moving as close as you can to your Wi-Fi router can help, or you can consider switching to Ethernet.
To minimize distractions, you'd better have a private, quiet space for your work. If you can, separate your work area from your personal spaces and use it just for work, not for other activities.
When you have moved necessary programs and data from office to home, another vital thing to do is clean up your desktop. A well-organized desk top could improve your home working productivity. If your desktop is a huge "junk drawer" filled with endless screenshots, images, and documents, it would be hard to find wanted files and programs. It is a nice choice to organize your desktop better with a desktop wallpaper organizer. They come in all kinds of styles, pick one that works for you and try to stick to it.
You should aim to take a break every 75 to 90 minutes, for about 15 minutes per break. It can be so easy to get distracted as a telecommuter that you avoid breaks altogether. Take a break as usual or spend time with others who might also be in the house.
It is also of vital importance to sync or to upload your home working data to a cloud drive or an external hard drive with the help of EaseUS Todo Backup. You can access your working data anywhere and at any time. Even when you return to the office, you can still keep in touch with your home working data.

Step 4. Next, you'll need to choose a location to save the Outlook backup by clicking the illustrated area.
Step 5. The backup location can be another local drive on your computer, an external hard drive, network, cloud or NAS. Generally, we recommend you use an external physical drive or cloud to preserve the backup files.
Step 6. Cusomiztion settings like setting an automatic backup schedule in daily, weekly, monthly, or upon an event, and making a differential and incremental backup are available in the Options button if you're interested.
