The Covid-19 has accelerated the trend, the idea of working from home are opted to taken by an increasing number of people in the past two years.

Ideal as it were, some doubts were raised on if the productivity can still be maintained at the same level compared to work in the office.

- Challenge -

– Zoom meeting with client on 10:00 AM
– Ticket review on 3:00 PM

– A market research report on 7:00 PM

Have you ever encountered such occasions? That things been interrupted.
Scene #1: You were having an important Zoom meeting with you client. Your 13-year-old son came over and asked you where you put the Switch last night. Though you’ve had the door close, he still comes in anyway, since from nowhere that he will know you are on some important meeting!

Scene #2: You were into some writing, the inspiration is on its way. Your home office door was half-open: since you don’t want to shut your door to anyone in the house. But you don’t want to be interrupted when you are focusing either

Your partner comes to ask where did you put the car key…

But you have no idea too, so both of you went to find the car key…

Scene #3:

You have kids, their FaceTiming, TikTok and Xbox habits may slow your productivity, you don’t want to be disturbed, rather than saying to them that you are at work over and over again, you’ve had the door shut, and that might lead to the scene #1.
