Description

Are you ready to go from frazzled to focused? Are you starting to fray around the edges as you try to adjust to "the new normal"? 

Let me help you to regain control, connection and calm while working from home.

You might be someone who is brand new to working from home, or you might have been working from home for a long time, but now you're trying to share space with partners, roommate and/or kids who are also trying to work (and learn) from home.

In this course, we cut through the noise (of 1000+ "best tips for working from home" articles) and I provide you with a step by step plan to reign in the chaos, get productive from home, and even enjoy it.

Imagine how it would feel if you were able to:

  • Disconnect from work in the evening, even when you're working AT home.

  • Get your important work done, even though you've got your kids, partner or even pets competing for your attention during the day.

  • Keep your work relationships healthy and maintain good will and camaraderie with your coworkers.

  • Feel confident that you're addressing the needs of your team, even when you no longer see them every day.

When you complete this course, you'll be able to:

  • Set boundaries (in time and space) so you can avoid letting work bleed into your home life

  • Stay focused (in the face of distraction) so you can get as much, if not more, done than when you were in the office

  • Communicate effectively (from a distance) so you maintain relationships and hit your goals

  • Stay connected (to your coworkers) so you don't lose touch and keep morale high

  • Manage your team (remotely) so that your team stays hyper-productive and you don't turn into a dreaded micromanager

  • Work productively from home even if you've got kids and pets you're responsible for


In short, you'll move from feeling frazzled to focused!  You'll be productive and calm, when working from home.


This course is for you if:

  • You're having trouble separating work from home life

  • You're more distracted than ever right now (by your family, the comforts of home, or your incessant need to check the news)

  • You're feeling like you're out of the loop, or having more miscommunications you do in the office

  • You don't feel as connected to your team as you'd like to be

  • You know you need a game plan, but you're overwhelmed by all the "free tips" floating around the internet

The lectures in this course are complemented by exercises to help you set boundaries between work and home, identify and minimize distractions, decide on communication channels with your team and increase your focus even in the face of distractions.  The exercises ensure that you apply the content from the lectures in a practical and pragmatic way so that you have an actionable game plan!

Enroll today to regain control of your time and boundaries, connection with your coworkers and team and calm in your home life!


PLEASE NOTE: This course was developed, filmed and edited from home (where I am "sheltering in place" due to the Coronavirus outbreak).  As such, the production quality reflects the "at-home" nature of our currently reality and there is therefore comprised in large part with voiceover and slides content versus direct to camera video. If you have taken my "Time Management Mastery: Do More, Stress Less" course you might wonder why they were filmed differently, and this is why.

I liked the course. It was really helpful to learn some new ideas about learning to focus at home and preparing a place that is just for telework time. I also loved the idea of putting all work assignments and laptops away after work so that work and home life do not interfere with each other.

Even after uninstalling all my social media apps, I'd begun just accessing reddit via my browser. I'd never heard the advice to set my phone to greyscale before. This is really promising

As a productive procrastinator who is very easily focused, I'm finding these tips to be very helpful, not only for work but also for working on my dissertation in a shared space.

Meh - a little dated at this point. A lot of the points were around WFH for the first time, like when the pandemic started, or when you're first introduced to working remotely. That's my fault though, I should have checked the date and level-set on my expectations. I thought it'd be more about improving your good habits or breaking the bad ones you'd formed after several years of WFH or working remotely, and not so much about establishing the habits to begin with. It'd be valuable for a first-time WFH-er, but I've been at it for years now.

Kind of non-commital at this time. So far I have found the tidbit I was looking for to not be frazzled

Alexis takes the time to pinpoint specific problem areas, and what to do about them, in fairly clear terms. My only gripe with the course is that every lecture is far longer than is custom for Udemy lectures, they drag on, talk about too mant different things, etc, that could have easily been split up into smaller lectures, which would make it easier to skip lectures that do not apply to you, or that you already know in and out.

A lot of helpful information in having control of your time, keeping connected and how to remain calm in a very easy to understand course. Everything taught can be done by anyone.

I came here for help with focus, and came away with a number of helpful tips that I've already put into practice! While I may have heard many of these recommendations before, it was nice to refresh on it all in one organized course and finetune areas that I needed to. The instructor was engaging and pleasant to listen to. I like the worksheets to apply the concepts to my own situation; they are thoughtfully designed.

This is a good productivity fundamentals course for those people who really don't know where to start.

Too basic for managers who have been working and managing remotely for a long time. Also, no mention of teams scattered across multiple time zones

Great for a team to take together to agree on effective communications channels, identify what they need and establish team norms. Geared towards working form home but concepts can apply to any work environment. Workbook is great and easy to use. Slides are easy to follow with instructor narration. Highly reccomend

It was useful but I was not able to skip the parts that did not apply to me, I had to sit through the Management section and Kids section but they did not apply to me.

Great match... mostly a reconfirmation and refresher of known approaches, but also great to hear insight from a managerial standpoint as well.
