9 Tips That'll Help Boost Your Productivity At Home

Working from home just got a little easier thanks to the new Galaxy Books from Samsung.

1. Start your day off right with a morning routine.

The commute to your office may be way shorter these days but using that saved time for a morning ritual can help prepare you for a day of work. Little things like changing into work clothes or making your bed not only establish a routine but can also put you in a more productive mindset. The Samsung Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 can be at the center of your daily routine by connecting all your Galaxy devices together. 

2. Make a to-do list for the day to keep you on task.

A list can help you decide which tasks to prioritize and help you organize your workday into smaller time blocks, so it’s less overwhelming. You can create a list using the Samsung Notes app to keep track of what you're working on. And with Quick Share, you can take your notes with you on the go. All you have to do is copy and paste photos, videos, text, and other documents between your Galaxy Book Pro or Pro 360 and select compatible Galaxy phones or tablets[1].

3. Set yourself up for success by organizing your workspace.

Create a space that'll help you work smarter, not harder, by surrounding yourself with the things you need (like your notes, water, and snacks) and nothing else. It'll help you avoid clutter and keep you from getting distracted.

4. Add a second screen to make multitasking easier.

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is the ultimate multitasker and with its 360° hinge, you can easily switch between laptop and tablet mode. If you need more screen space, you can use the Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ as a second screen and expand your display. You'll have even more room to view documents, emails, your calendar, and other pages at the same time.

5. Move your workspace outside.

A change in scenery can boost your mood and work output, so why not make the most of your outdoor space? The Galaxy Book Pro 360's Super AMOLED display and intelligent screen adaption allows you to work in direct sunlight while the ultrathin design and whopping 20-hour battery life[2] on the Galaxy Book Pro makes the transition to a mobile office seamless. You'll have the freedom to work from any room or space you desire, without having to worry about being near an outlet. With Link to Windows and Microsoft Your Phone[3], you can even sync your Galaxy phone so you can take calls, check notifications, and access your messages directly from your laptop.

6. Curate the perfect playlist that'll keep you in the zone.

A mood-boosting dance break never hurt anybody and a little white noise can actually help you be more productive. Add a few songs to your queue that'll really pump you up — or find the perfect instrumental study playlist. With Dolby Atmos and AKG speakers, the Galaxy Book Pro and Pro 360 deliver crisp sound that will keep you in the zone.

If you prefer an earbuds experience, pop in a pair of Galaxy Buds Live and dance like no one's watching. Thanks to innovative technology from Samsung, Quick Pair instantly connects your Buds Live while Auto Switch intelligently detects incoming calls and seamlessly shifts their connection from your laptop to your phone, allowing you to instantly take that important call[4][5].

7. Set your work hours and stick to them.

Creativity strikes at different times and so does productivity. Luckily, working remotely can give you the freedom to flex your work hours from 9–5 to something that better suits you. If you're an early bird, begin your workday with the sunrise. Or start your workday later in the day. You decide.

8. Take better notes.

Samsung

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 makes note-taking an art by giving you the option of taking handwritten or typed notes. With its Super AMOLED touchscreen and accompanying S Pen, you can take your creativity to the next level and turn your device into a digital sketch pad for notes or drawings. You can use it to jot down notes in your meetings or mark up a PDF before a presentation.

9. And finally, don't forget to schedule time for breaks and meals.

Samsung

Whether you've been working hard or hardly working, a short break might make you feel more productive. Take time out of your day to go for a walk, connect with friends and family, or stream the latest blockbuster. You can enjoy your favourite series while you chill on your balcony and give yourself a moment to relax, recharge, and refocus.
