So here are some tips for better research from long time student remote workers to stay productive while studying and working from home or anywhere else.

These activities are meant to improve the student as a worker, benefit your employer now or in the near future, and at the same time assist in the transition from study to work remotely.

Use reliable technology to support learning

While some tasks need to be carried out virtually, there are plenty of things that can be achieved by supporting your studies by working with technology. Developing employability and obtaining post graduation at the same time is overwhelming, so try achieving your master's degree online to have more flexibility over your study time. Additionally, the expertise gained can enable one to build their own business by learning the latest strategies and practices prevailing in their field over the internet from anywhere.

Create a dedicated space

In order to be most productive, it is important to mark out a dedicated space from your home or from wherever you intend to study remotely and work. You can even consider space in a friend's house or a relative to accommodate you, or even the public library. Then there are coworking spaces for remote workers where you can sign up, so long as you can give enough time to study work.

Get rid of distractions

While it is easy to get distracted when you are on the campus and get sidetracked, the same is the issue at home, though these can be controlled. Turn off app notifications, remove them from your home screen or better still leave your phone out of sight. The same applies to other distractions like gaming consoles. Keep a record in a journal on how much time you spend each week on activities like social media, or late nights with friends, that can hurt your study and work schedule. You will be surprised at how much time you can free up and devote it wisely to your distance learning and working program.

More breaks mean more productivity

Taking frequent breaks, according to researchers, is the best way to boost productivity, and remote employees and students have this added advantage. The minutes off to run an errand or check the laundry in the washing machine are good breaks and not distractions. Remote workers and students have found this to be flexible and a huge benefit to their overall efficiency.

In other words, remote student workers are better equipped to control their schedule, take breaks whenever they want and schedule a phone conversation.
