My Tips on Working From Home (WFH) | Mimi Ikonn
Hello my beautiful friends! In this video I share all of my favorite Work From Home Tips that I have been using for years. My favorite tool that makes the biggest difference in how productive I am is my Productivity Planner www.intelligen...
I work mostly standing up and create my own stand up desk from items around the house ( like a wooden box, etc). When sitting down I like to use a Roost Stand. ( Alex got it years ago on Kick starter).
Let me know what your favorite work from home tips are? :)

I really miss all your positivity, motivational and productivity videos. Every now and then I still go back to watch the procrastination video, and the video why you should always dress at your best. Those videos changed my life ❤️

Also, I'm actually curious if/how extroverts both enjoy their meal and chat, because if I know that I can't both fully enjoy food AND actually listen and respond to another person (like mindless eating while working/watching). So if I brought a delicious meal, or am eating a rare sweet treat and someone strikes up a conversation with me, I literally think "Dang, I should have just brought a bland, super healthy meal because I am not going appreciate this food". I know this because after finishing something while chatting I look down and realize that I didn't pay attention to the flavor, texture, etc. I understand making food for others is bonding but at at work I think "can't you come back in 10 minutes after I eat??" Especially if I'm intermittent fasting and know that that time is when I can enjoy my well prepared meal and that person could tell me that thing literally any other time in the day... OK but I wonder, am I just food obsessed (probably haha) or can extroverts multitask better or they just don't care about missing being present for a tasty meal??

I agree with you 🤣
I work from home and I love it. I don't miss the workplace at all! No colleague drama, no gossiping, no toxic work environments. I'm also a total introvert and love being by myself. But yes, I agree with you. Treat it as a normal workday and find your vibe. You'll be so productive.

Grateful for the tips, f.e. at first I found it odd to dress up only for myself, but I absolutely share the opinion of feeling more professional and energetic, thanks for the reminder! Beautiful energy as allways ;)

Great points to touch on! They can be applied even if you don’t work from home. Simply getting tasks done around the house need planning. Yard work takes up quite a bit of time and it great to divide the task into time slots.

Hello Mimi, Listening to you again is so breath-taking, I've been following your channel for 6 years now and it just make teary-eyed that you had contribute on how I am today as a person. I just cant believe how time flies while we're having fun. Keep Inspiring and Shining. God bless!
i've been watching your video's for over 5 years now, whether it's your travel Vlogs or just your videos's at home , like many people comment i find them really inspiring & they really cheer me up especially important in these Days, thanks Mimi :)
Thank you Mimi, love your videos! I am an older subscriber and loved you since the beginning!
I cannot express in words how happy I am seeing you again! Being stuck at the house for so many months and always stumbling in workload is so excruciating! I have been using five-minute journal app for 5 years and I am so happy using them. I made my own Productivity planner following yours and work is so much easy now. But still, I was missing that urge to be in my toes and get everything done. Your video motivated me a lot! Thanks Mimi being such an inspiration
Honestly, this is amazing advice mimi. I felt so much more motivated just knowing this is what you do ❤️ thank you!
I really missed this videos. It is so inspiring; thank you for your time

OMG, Mimi, I'm so so excited, that I finaly found you!❤ I adore your videos from your previous chanel, where you are talking about beauty routines for hair and make up. But I was without kid back then and I've had I my time for my self. Now I have my lovely child and I am curious about different things. I work from home already 2 years and I surprisingly love it😊 I'm happy to find you again and to be on the same wave too.

Thank you so much for this great video. Just like you I get distracted by music with lyrics and in this video (especially at tip #7) sometimes it was hard to listen to you, the music was too loud and also because of the sound/phone problem you had (were you recording with the iphone ?)...so maybe just one tip for next videos pls don't had music with lyrics behind your voice and behind a poor sound quality it's very painful to watch especially with headphones. I've been working from home for 7 years now and what you say is absolutely true...but as an introvert I am oh so so so happy to not have any more chit chat conversations with colleagues that's the best part of working from home... have a great day !
I remember one of your old videos wherein you just looked at the camera and Said "it's your time" (to get on KZread) and winked and I started posting videos from that point!! I love everything you do ❤️ thank you Mimi ty for existing 💕
Hi Mimi, another amazing video! I am following all the 7 tips that you have shared right from the 1st day of lockdown and believe me guys it really works.. makes work from home more fun and enjoyable while we miss meeting people and our office space!! keep posting such videos... always look forwards to see them!!

Mimi, I love your videos related to productivity. I am a student and I am learning from home. These tips were really helpful. I have been subscribed to your channel for the past five years. I love you
As a full time physio student and parent this is something I am still working on and developing. Thanks for sharing your tips!
The audio is hard to hear especially with the background music being so loud
I'm so happy to see a new video from you Mimi! Some really good tips there. I don't normally work from home but I am now due to the lockdown. It's been hard staying motivated and not distracted so I will definitely be implementing some of the tips you shared. Sending love and light xx
Awesome tips :) Will try some of them out.
Such brilliant tips Mimi, love the idea of getting ready first thing in the morning. It sets the tone of the day 👏🏽
Perfect! Even though I’m a full time mummy now, it’s still quite useful. Would be great to see how you structure the day with your little one and meals. It’s such a juggle so any tip helps! xxx
Love this video. I am a Aerospace Engineering PhD student (Colorado, USA) and I basically manage my own research, so its like working for myself. I discovered the Productivity Planner a year and a half ago and it changed my life! Now, I recommend it to all my PhD student friends. And I am always tagging @beProductive on instagram with my work setup (always including the planner). Thanks so much! Love you and have watched your videos for 6+ years :)

Aw, i miss your sit down and chat videos
What a beautiful and lovely video dear Mimi! Everything were such a helpful tips!
I love the idea of using a productivity planner but I don't think I would be able to make it work for me. As a lawyer my days and weeks depend on official deadlines and what clients throw at me. I might start the day with task A being most critical, but by lunch time task B and C is all of the sudden more important and I have to reshuffle everything, which drives me nuts. Ahhhh!
Thanks Mimi I’m currently working from home due to the COVID and this video has great tips. Thank you 😊 love from Australia
Google notes and apple calendar is the best way to track everyday activities. Book is hard to carry everywhere. Phone is with us all time 😊
Great tips Mimi!!! Thank you!
I just watched this as I’m now working from home and realized I needed to lift up my computer monitors for a straight view! My upper back and neck were killing me and now I know why! Thank you MIMI!! Love from Colorado!!
Such a positive video ! Thank you for the tips Mimi
THANK YOU! I needed this today, I miss photographing events and weddings so much! I even watched about half of this, then saved it to watch later when I was on a proper "break" so it still felt like a normal workday. Stay Safe xxx
Thank you Mimi, great tips! Personally I'm really happy with wfh and I hope that after lockdown I will have a chance to do this more often. Introverts heaven 😁

Thanks Mimi. You’ve always been my role model in life since 2016 when I was still in Uni.
I love the video. Great tips! Unfortunately I have 2 children and no coparent, so there is no splitting time taking care of the kids. If anyone else is in that situation, my recommendation is to get your employer to do flex time. I work early in the morning and late at night, as well as weekends to get the work done and take some time with them during the day. It isn't ideal, and it is a bit draining, but really scheduling and planning are imperative. I let them know what time I will be spending with them, like, "Mom has to work until lunch time but then after lunch, we are going to the park for a while." That gives them something to look forward to. I also take off every other Monday and take them on "field trips" to the zoo or something fun but educational. I then make up my work in the evening after they have settled or on the weekend in the morning when the house is calm. 💜
I don't know if is only my problem but the audio is not good btw thnks for all these tips, very usefull ♥ your kitchen is beautiful ♥
"music lyrics free", I totally agree with you! Thank you for sharing.
After searching for ages for a laptop stand and reading reviews, I remembered the basic ikea plastic laptop stand gethering dust under my desk, and it's actually perfect. Happy days.
Great tips! Thanks a lot!👍
Great video! The productivity planner looks super stylish 😍 Also, you look amazing! Love your makeup and tan
Love this video. I'm new working from home partime. I work 36 hours in 3 days for a hospital, and the other 4 days I take care of my son (3 years old), home task and in between, I work on my online store green-maternity.com 💕 (thanks to both of you for the inspiration) I'm looking for some way of organization and structure in the way I work. Frequently I found my self working or sending a email at midnight 🤦♀️. So for that reason this video is very useful, thanks again🙂
So agree with that!!! I can't do anything or be productive until I get dressed and put my make up on :) It's a must for me to start an effective day!
My favourite tip was Hug your self! So nice great tips over all thanks xxx
This was so extremely helpful for me. I ordered the Roost and a sleek keyboard (because I use the keyboard on my laptop) and I ordered your planner as well. I feel freshly motivated after this video even without those things though. I made a list today and it’s helping me stay focused, and my phone is in another room until I take a small break. Thanks for the tips!!

Hi Mimi, thank you for this video. This is going to help me in many ways. I have been working from home for the last 1.5 years. I am following a few rules which you have mentioned here like, created a dedicated space, set some rules to interact with family members and following a strict deadline. However, 2 of my biggest cons are a distraction from my phone and not making a proper to-do list. I am working on those things and this video encouraged me to work more hard on those 2 limitations. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for these tips! Always love the advice you have to offer. 💕

Mimi. I missed your videos. Please create more if you can♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thanks Mimi! Miss these sit down videos, please do more if possible.
Hi Mimi x Thank you for sharing the tips. I would like to add a few as I have been working from home and office for approx 2 years now. I do exactly what you said in your video. I never worked in my pajamas and always set a time as I would go to the office and finish on set time too. Always get ready, put make up on , everyone laughs at me but who cares ! The following tips I would like to share: 1- You mentioned to make weekly agenda for about 4 weeks or so but it doesn’t seem to be practical in my way of working or in real life as I have discussed this with other colleagues to get their opinions, it also doesn’t work for them. if it works for you then great 👍 Productivity journal (not used) or other same type journals I have tried but it always doesn’t fit as I love writing and there’s always limited space. I set a daily agenda as soon as I start my day and tick off by the end of the day, if anything is outstanding I would set a reminder on my phone, the reason I said phone because it’s easier for me (I use windows laptop and apple phone) , setting a reminder on a phone makes it so much easier for me. In the past I have used reminders on laptop but they keep in the pending list for such a long time. 2- get a foot rest - this would help in posture 3- Date on each page of any notebook you use or make notes ( do not use single papers, you’ll regret when they are lost lol ) 4- keep a water jug on your desk so you don’t forget drinking water 5- drinking tea in breaks is great but avoid sugar or sugary items. 6- keep a backup of everything , most important! (The reason I said this because if you are working from home and office and it’s not the same computer then you’ll be lost ) I have alot more to add but I’ll finish off here Loads of love and respect for your family Please keep up with your motivational videos I am desperately waiting for those. Best Wishes Rabz ( please follow me on insta rab1aa)

Thankx so much great tips 👌 😍 Yeah Dressing up & putting up little bit make up makes lot of difference 😍👏
This is the best video of the year from these peeps. So informative and relatable to daily life. p.s.: sorry if my name offends. i put it up originally as a joke. but kept it when so many of my friends, some with 100's of 1000's of followers now, keep getting so burned by them these days. shouldn't be allowed the power they have now, due to outdated LAWS
Thank you, love these tips, i work and study from home myself and i found that setting a start and finish time to be really effective ❤️
I work at home with my pijamas and no make up and quite happy I can do that😄

Hello Mimi, what notebook did you use in the first minutes of video? is it the same that in the video about planner? you made that video many years ago
Great video...really missed the sit down videos
Thanks for the video, however, I have a question. The kitchen that you were standing in doesn’t look like your new or old kitchen, and your work desk doesn’t look like its in either of your apartments, are you having to stay some where else for your quarantine?
