In the office you have your co-workers, boss, and wall calendar to remind you of things your late on or need to get done that day. At home all you have is possibly your outlook calendar and your own memory. Don’t wait for your boss to ping you on a late assignment, be proactive and make a to-do list for that day and get it done. Not only does this initiative show that you’re a hard worker, but it shows you’re motivated even in an environment that is typically thought of as a relaxing place.
As the day goes on make sure you respond to e-mails from your co-workers as they come in. The more responsive the better…especially on snow days. Cross each task off as you get to it. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment as it nears the end of the day, and your boss will appreciate you staying on top of things while you were virtual.
