I work from home as a freelance writer and blogger. I already follow these exact tips you shared because they really work. Having a regular schedule even when you don't "have to" makes a huge difference. I generally work 9 to 7 and end my day by reading a good book and my breaks throughout the day usually involve a walk around the block with my dog. Using my Day Designer planner and bullet journal helps me stay organized with my tasks throughout the day as well.
Best wishes to all of those other remote workers out there!
Rebecca
hello! how can you become a freelance writer? i'd really appreciate your help
+Rebecca Kelsey Sampson The dog walking is my go to. I'm back in an office now, but I miss wearing my pajamas while working. I know some people have to get dressed, but I was not one of them.
Amazing tips Ingrid, I work from home too.
I just like to add two:
- I need go outside and be in contact with the nature unless 30 minutes per day, I just love fell the warm of the sun and some fresh air. I am very lucky, i live very close to the beach and I can spend a part of my day there .
- Morning excessives gives me a lot of energy and help me to think clearly :)
You are a sweet girl, I always enjoy your vids!! xxxx
+Juliette R. Great tips! :)
What do you do from home?
+Juliette R. This only works if it isnt winter, and i mean canadian winters.
MsMcmuffin _ Haha, I can imagine that, you are welcome to visit us in Australia in 3 months ;)
JKlatinagirl Thank you :)
I LOVE working from home....started doing it 7 years ago and wouldn't want to return to the office workplace (or that drama)!
Awesome tips here... For myself I have learned that structure is of the utmost importance. I MUST have a daily routine, I don't
do well with willy-nilly work habits.
I prefer to work very early in the morning and get my 'work day' finished so I can spend the rest of the day doing 'me things'.
Out of bed between 4 and 5 AM and hit the shower as if I were going to an actual office job. I keep my work space separate
from the rest of the home (in my basement). I work for four hours.... then take a coffee break and watch 30 to 60 minutes
of TV/news or sit on the deck and enjoy nature. I then return to my basement office and work another 4 hours. Then the rest of the day is mine. Of course...you have the beauty of 'flexibility' if anything more interesting comes up....just remember that
you do have an obligation and any 'stolen time' needs to be made up.
Sometimes there isn't anything interesting to do in the evening, maybe the weather is bad or nothing good on the tube, so I'll
put in 'bonus time' in the basement office, this allows me free time to use later when something more exciting may be
happening.
Working from home is all about time management and discipline. It's a GREAT way to work and much less stressful then
being in the office environment. Also, you save a ton of money on gas, food, and clothes!
Downside.... You are isolated to some degree. You do not have people interactions and you will, at times, find yourself yearning for human contact. You also have to realize that food is WAY too available. Be sure to live a healthy lifestyle and take time
for exercise and watch your diet!
Keep your home office area free of distraction. No TV is a good thing! Do not get in the habit of checking youtube or social
media every five minutes! Work time is for work, play time is for play....keep them separate and you'll have no probs.
Good Luck, and ENJOY the freedom!
Something to tackle the isolation and the occasional feeling of loneliness is to head to a cafe or something for a few hours. I find even just being around other people and having a change of scenery can do wonders for that side of things!
Who’s here because of the Corona virus??? Great tips . Must see if you are considering , about to or are working from home 👍🏼
Me!
I watched this four years ago when I first started working remotely, and it was really helpful. I have been recommending the same tips to colleagues and I remembered this video.
Me
I still come back here to watch Ingrid and I love this video!!! She is so wise!!!
SO helpful. As a full time youtuber my work and personal life are completely blurred and I have no routine, so these tips were amazing and i'll definitely be following them! xx
I love your videos Kenna (: I hope you find the balance you need between work and your personal life! Xx
LOVE YOU KENNA I WAS JUST WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS LOL
+simply_kenna amazing how your blurring still helped you gain a good following! that always amazes me, i feel like i have to be organized before succeeding in something :P i just subscribed to you, looking forward to seeing what you got going on! check out one of my music videos
I'm usually foggy and have trouble focusing, especially in the mornings and days. (I'm a night owl.) ..and I always think it's really good to KNOW what you're going to do tomorrow to wake up with a purpose! Try to plan what you're having for breakfast, even, so you start with a motivation to get up right away and so you already know what's been planned for you. i.e., "I'm going to wake up at this time tomorrow to make poached eggs for breakfast, then I can start this project." Knowing and planning the day the night BEFORE is so helpful to combat morning or new-day fogginess for me!
I never thought I'd need this video... but now that we all have to work from home... here I am lol!!
monkey haha 100%
This was a really helpful video for me. I have been working from home for over 18 months now, and I am at that phase where I feel like I am a slug and a mooch for working at home, and I feel like I don't have the right to stop working just because I don't go to another place to work. I am soooo glad I am not the only one who feels discouraged and lazy. My personal tip is to always have your office buddy with you. D'argo (my 9-year-old dog) has learned the work routine and is always super psyched to do it. He jumps up in the morning and tap dances until we go upstairs to my office. He hovers around the office while I am working, shares snacks with me, and if I have been sitting too long will come over for a cuddle, reminding me to get up and stretch my legs. If you can do it, it is an amazing feeling to have someone as pumped up for work as your own personal office pet.
+Kathryn Davidson Also, I have a window behind my computer monitor that faces out into our awesome back yard space, which gets great sunlight most of the day. It also lets me keep an eye on the dogs when they go outside to play, and keep track of inclement weather. Sunlight works for those days when you don't have enough pep in your step!
That's actually a great idea!💙🐕🙌
I've been needing this video for like the whole of my holidays! I've always wanted to start my work at like 8am but really ended up starting it at 12...
Hahaha I'm the same!!
Your filming and editing is so peaceful and refreshing I love it!
+Lauren Hawkins
This is the BEST video I've seen from Ingrid EVER. It was short, very well done, AND VERY VERY VERY HELPFUL. This is the epitome of a perfect UA-cam video.
Andy.
Guys, since the pandemic I've been making money online at Frozenpa.com and it's been working great! I earn on average about $4,000 per month part-time!
In the morning, take a walk for 15-20 minutes in place of your commute to work :)
Who else miss ingrid's old videos?🙋
+Christina Zheng Why are so many people commenting this like pls stop
+Shelby Rush thank you!!!!
What do you mean???
I was missing her old video too, but in this one I see the little thing that I love
+Shelby Rush because it's her job to provide content that her audience likes. Why are people so quick to jump on an opinion they don't agree with, like stop
I always go to coffee shops to get work done, so I'm in a different space. I find this really helps me because once I leave the coffee shop, I'm done for the day. 🙌🏻
This is by far, the BEST tip video for stay organize and motivated. You stay on topic, you are clear and concise, there is no babbling and this video make sense. I would like to see more videos like this by you. Thank you!
As a guy that does UA-cam for a living over the past 4 years, within the past year I've fallen WAYYYY out of my schedule and have become stressed/anxious and it's been awful. I'll definitely try these tips. Hopefully it's as easy as you make it sound. Stay awesome Ingrid!
This is so applicable to my life right now. My business is doing pretty well and I'm living in my office these days
What business do you own
Papered Kiss!
Anna S I recently started a sticker shop on Etsy for Erin Condren planners :) You wouldn't think it'd be that big, but we're doing super well! I've been working pretty much nonstop!
You go girl!
+NessaIrene I just started a vlog channel please go check it out any support means a lot!
I work from home so heaven KNOWS how badly I needed this video.. I had such a frustrating and stressful day yesterday. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us!!!
Shower as a way to switch yourself to a relaxing/personal evening mode is a great idea! 👍
It's so weird that something as simple as getting dressed can affect your brain that much but it is the thing that keeps me the most productive. I like your advice of finding a routine to separate the work day and the personal life after. Turning it off at the end of the day is definitely something I struggle with.
you look adorable with your hair like this
or anytime but especially with your hair like this
yeah when i was working from home i found that it was really difficult to feel like my home wasn't a job - definitely glad to get out of the house now and go to an office. :) GREAT VIDEO!
My mom is a free lance journalist and she has worked from home for about 15 years now, and I made her watch this video, and she says even tho it's been years, it nice to have this relaxed reminder of staying calm and focused. This was such a great vid Ingrid! Xoxoxo
This is the best work from home routine I've seen till date! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
I sent this video to my mom who just started working from home
I sent it to my mom too :))

Needed this OHSO badly, lady Nilsen! Thankyoo kindly!
Same, Melanie
I work from home and I defiantly struggle between work and personal. I always just keep going. Love the tips, defiantly going to put them in place and have more boundaries.
Thank you so much for the great tips!! I work from home sometimes and all the stuff you said is sooo true. Sometimes I don't get up at all, or stay in my pajamas. But the taking breaks and setting a schedule sounds great to be organized and not sit on the same spot all day. ❤️
A much needed video for me when school starts tommorow!
Such good tips Ingrid. I'm that girl in my pj bottoms all day! haha Even when I'm filming, I put on a cute top but leave my pj bottoms on. Such a bad habit.
+Sona Gasparian Hi Sona! I clicked on your channel and loved it, already subscribed! Tomorrow I'm sharing your tutorial for brown eyes on my blog's facebook page because I really enjoyed it! =) (If you want to see it there tomorrow at 10am LA time just click here facebook.com/nemsodeblush !) Im brazilian and am also a makeup artist and blogger! Wish you all the success, you deserve it! Kisses, Sofia!
+Sona Gasparian I love your videos too! I also have a beauty channel and I can't wait to grow as much as you have :))
The beginning of this video is exactly what is happening in my life right now. 6 months in working from home. A dream after 19 years in the corporate world...thought I could finally take ownership of my home life and creative side...but the opposite is happening. Great video...lots of common sense I needed to be reminded of. It;s easy to say "just make a schedule!!" but unless I have a lot of meetings---its so easy to find myself in yoga pants at 3PM. Thanks again!!
I can actually see some of these tips working for school work. Like making lists,healthy snacking, breaks, power napping, and separating (home)work life and personal life.
THIS IS SO HANDY! Thank you so much!
+doddleoddle OMG I LOVE YOU!

This video makes you feel like working without stopping the whole day!
+my DIYtifuLife (Marina GM) I know! I'm like "What am I doing?! Why can't I just be like Ingrid and work efficiently and not procrastinate like I always do?"
Rissa T hahaha absolutely!!

I have found it super helpful to get out of the house, even if it's for a 5 minute walk, a yoga class, an errand or meeting with friends. Having a schedule outside of the house is key for me. If I stay in the house for an entire day, home starts to feel much less home-y! Thanks for the video, Ingrid!
I've worked from home for 3 years and only about 6 months ago managed to stop working from my bed full time! I still spend an hour or two a day there because I'm too tired to stay upright, but it's an improvement.
These tips are great. I have been working on being more focused, being more productive and also learning to take breaks as I also work from home. I am a big list maker and usually feel overwhelmed from long lists, I am going to try the cover the list so I can focus without stressing.
Ingrid, this is an example of you at your best. Creating useful content but not trying too hard to be funny by being awkward all of the time. Less of that is more. Keep up the good work.
Definitely go outside! When I'm feeling sluggish spending 20-30 minutes outside in the sun feels like I just took a nap, it's so invigorating! Even if it's not sunny, awakening your senses to the wind and ambient sounds is so relaxing and really makes you think about what really matters and how small you are and how small your seemingly incredibly huge tasks are.
Yes to all of this! I have worked from home for 4 years and I literally do all of these steps. Good advice!
This video is also great for homeschoolers! I've only been homeschooled for 2 years but this is super helpful :)
Yes same!! It is so helpful

It is really helpful for homeschoolers! =D
Gabby Marie yasssss!
Agreed!
Hahahahah when nugget turned around. So cute!
This video is so helpful because while I'm not working from home, I'm taking distance education courses along with my on-campus ones, leaving my mondays, wednesdays and fridays completely open. Instead of being tempted to goof off, I know I have to get work done for my courses, so I came straight to this video!
I love love love this. this is the best advice, even for young people who are just constantly on their computer, phone and social media at home when you're not working yet. now that I'm older and have been through all of that, I love your advice for having the bedroom being technology free cause in time I've learned that disconnecting is the best feeling ever where you can just have your you time and focus/relax. I think when I finally have my own place that is exactly what I'm going to do and just have a separate room just for hanging out and going on the computer/gaming stuff (tv, xbox, etc) :) Ingrid you're the best!!!
"WAKE DA EFF UP" OH MY GOD😂😂😂
Striped shirts in da house!!! I work from home and this video was so helpful! Love ya Ingrid:)
I'm homeschooled, and my gosh, is she right about EVERYTHING. Especially about getting dressed. I love the extra tips.
You are so motivating!
I'm a people person so I found that walking up to my local coffee shop and having a cup of coffee while I do some work there really helped me wake up and get into the right frame of mind for when I reenter my house to do work.
You look absolutely GORGEOUS in this video and your backdrop is so pretty!
This is such a helpful video, I really want to be able to work at home one day. It's so hard to balance youtube and school! Although I only started youtube 2 months ago but ahhhhhhhh I can't get that balance right!
Love ur channel! +Kasey Chen
HOW DID YOU GET 1K SUBS IN 2 MONTHS???!?!?!? I've been on UA-cam for longer than a year and I just recently hit 100 *sigh*
+Reilly Koebel I feel you girl
Your videos are so great! Would love you to sub back? :)
omg i love your backdrop! I wish i could balance youtube and school but I can't get that balance right either! I'd love to be able to work from home when I get a job :)
This is very helpful. I work during the mornings at a preschool as a teacher and go to college in the late evenings so the whole middle of the day is time that I have to spend doing work from home. This is usually creating lesson plans for my classroom at work and then doing homework for school. Dividing up the day like you said, helps keep me focused on one thing instead of worrying about everything at once.
Thanks for the tips! They are very helpful! I don't work from home but have a really flexible schedule. Setting all the rituals to structure your work day is so important.
Ahhh this is so helpful! Love your videos!!
Loved this a lot. The way it's filmed is stunning!
I generally NEVER comment on videos and I have been doing so much research on how to stay motivated or how to schedule my work time at home and nothing has ever really worked .... but your video has taught me SOO MUCH I cannot thank you enough @ingridnilsen !!! All this time, I have been just falling in all the traps: not getting dressed, staying in bed, not defining an end time! Gosh I really really really appreciate this!!! #blessed my college grades are gonna thank you 😭😭
Oh and the post-it idea to hide other things when your lists are too long, GENIUS!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️️❤️️❤️️
Loved this! Super helpful tips. I need to be better at creating those boundaries. Thank you!
So cute, my souls felt like it went to a spa after watching this.
this just came at a perfect time for me ! thank you! love you !
Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing love! I totally write a To Do list every day 🙌🏼
This is so helpful! Thank you! I don't work from home, but I commute to college only twice a week; so, I do a lot of homework at home. I like how you explained separating yourself, physically and mentally, from work at certain times... I really want to try this!
I hope one day i'll be able to work for myself!! that is seriously my ultimate goal
Love, love, LOVE this! UA-cam is just my hobby but even on my days off I try to keep it within the 8-5 (okay fine, 8-6) time zone, to separate it from my personal life. Another great rule of thumb is the "touch it once" rule, handle whatever it may be immediately. I apply this to once I "touch" the off button on my alarm, I get out of bed. If I read that email then I have to tend to it. It is so refreshing to tackle tasks and you end up clearing a lot of time to do the things that you're passionate about instead of dealing with tedious, though necessary, tasks!
Absolutely love this video!! Your energy is so amazing!
Thank you for this video! I have worked a day a week from home for years, but I'm just moving into full-time online graduate school. A totally different ball game to be at home 100% of the time. These tips are really helpful!
I love your little bun 😍😜😘
*topknot, lol. I can never pull one off 😜
It can always be a messy topknot 😋
These tips are useful for homeschooling too!!! #HomeschoolingIsTheBest
This was highly helpful! I'm only 13 but when it comes to the stuff I like to do (such as UA-cam, writing, party planning, and playing/practicing instruments) I like to see it as work that I love. I am definately a beliver in having cold water at your desk. Sometimes when the water starts to feel just blah I will add cucumber, lemon, and mint to add refreshing bursts of flavor. I know when I grow up I will definately be working from home so I will always come back and rewatch this video for reminders
Love this type of video! Good job ingrid, you give as always great tips!
these are awesome tips (I found it helpful just to stop procrastinating on homework) :)
Love this video!!!!
+brittyy44 hey hey awesome to see you here. Was watching some of the UA-cam videos in creators academy.
You really made a difference in my life, you made me look differently at things, notice things I haven't noticed before, and appreciate the little things in life. You helped me relax and let go when no one else could. I hope you read this and realize how amazing you are.
this was so helpful! especially that the schoolwork to be done totally needs a huge amount for motivation right now. Thank you Ingrid!
Anyone else noticed her initials are in between her eyebrows when she talks? O_O
Leo Theo oh ya haha
LOL SO COOL
whoa
Wow, that’s true!
What the...?! You're right! How trippy.
hi, i am loving your thumbnails.
you're helping me. I'm stuck staying at home, doing nothing for several months now although I have a bunch of things, homework, projects to do. Thanks Ingrid
I love how this applies to both working at home and homeschooling. Thank you so much for this video. Xoxo.
I am convinced some people just can't work from home. Which is fine! We are all different 😋
+Brianna Elizabeth I didn't think I could until I was pretty much forced too. It's hard to get into that right mindset, but once you do, it just feels like any other work day.
your kitty is the cutest omg
I think this will be my go to video atm! I'm going into my final year of university in two weeks so I definitely need to keep reminding myself of these tips when I start getting stressed and just reorganise myself 😊 I know I could go to the university library some days but some days if I want to stay at home I can do! Thank you Ingrid for this video 😊😘
This was what I needed to hear/see! Thank you for another amazing video😊
Hi ingrid love the hairstyle 😍 can u do a hairstyle tips video for a lazy say xx luv u
I thought Ingrid cut her hair?
Pre-filmed
+neon5311 I was thinking the same thing:'D
+neon5311 Hey guys!! Can you please help me reach 1000 views on my cover of My Heart Will Go On? It would mean the world to me!! I'm new to uploading videos on here and any support will be very much appreciated
It's probably pre filmed
+neon5311 surely because currently she's in London with Hannah
Thanks a lot for those amazing tips! Working at home myself for the last couple of years I stick to some of the mentioned routines myself and I can't wait to test the others out. Thanks Ingrid!
I love how focused and well disciplined you are!!! ⭐️⭐️ you go girl 👍🏻
I do home school so this is really helpful.
me too haha
me too!!!
Same!
Ditto!
stripped shirts 😍😍😍
*striped :)
+Sakina Kayani whoops! Haha
+Yeselie Denise Haha, stripped shirts is a very different concept to the one you intended I'm sure :')
+Yeselie Denise Love your videos!!!
Looove striped shirts at the moment 😍
Very helpful and also fun to watch! :) I've been working from home as a freelance translator for the past 6 months, and lately I've been really craving some sort of structure in my day, and more balance. Working from home is awesome but also a lot harder than I thought it would be. Thanks for the tips!
You inspire me so much! I'm trying to start working half-way from home, and these tips to separate "home time" and "work from home time" are going to help so much :)
I always find doing a 10 minute exercise helps me get into work mode, especially if I just want to lounge about.
+Katie K samee
I'm a lefty too! 😆
Such great tips Ingrid! I am going back to uni and was wondering how I would balance youtube and uni work so this video came at the right time! To start with I think I need to out my pjs and have a set action like your shower to end the work day. I do think going outside helps clear my mind and refocuses me for getting back to work. Thank you so much for your help hun
Love this video so much! Keep up the great work! 💕
YOUR HAIR
+Mandeville Sisters Same!!! Especially when I try to make any kind of "messy" bun. My messy bun takes messy to a whole new level. XD
Same 😂 I tried this half-up-half-down bun once and when I thought it looked okay, my mom told me my bun looks like a squirrel😂😔
How do you actually get into working from home though while getting a steady reliable income? Working through the system with a typical 9 til 5 job just isn't for me and I just want to live my life free and do what I want without feeling trapped and other people controlling me.
I quit my job today because I hated it. All the jobs I've ever had I just quit because I hated them. I'm constantly looking at the clock counting down the hours until it's time to leave and then it all starts in that cycle again the next day and I don't think it's normal. We've all just been brainwashed into thinking that that is how we should all be living.
I was so scared to tell my nana that I quit my job because I would judged and she would be disappointed even though staying in jobs makes me unhappy. Life is short. Why would I want to live it being unhappy.
I'm 21 from England and I'm just stuck. I'm not incredibly talented at anything and don't really have a true passion for anything. I enjoy art and reading but my arts and crafts skills aren't up to scratch that I would consider doing something with it.
Even if I did try to do something about it what would I be doing about money in the mean time? It's like our lives are just controlled by the aspect of needing money to do things I hate it :( I hate the thought of having to "sponge off the government" but that's the only option for me right now and it's sucks that that is how the world works.
I quit my job as well because I have 2 daughters and working full time felt like they were growing up without me :( There are so many opportunities out there. You need to find one your passionate with. I'm really into health and fitness so that's what I do. I've been doing it for a few months and LOVE it! I just opened up a website a few days ago www.gracemajeed.com.
+CastleFlameGal you're just 21, you have plenty of time to find what your true passion is :)
I think a good thing to do is to get a part time job or something and use that extra time to find out what you want to do. Maybe take some classes?
If you are really driven to make a living out of something you like to do, you will have to make some efforts, and it will not come easily. Sometimes all it takes is an idea and start working on it, sometimes you have to find the right company (a lot of companies take remote employees, like designers or accountants).
Good luck!!
Florencia Pinochet
Thanks for the advice. It's the getting a job part that I struggle at anyway and then when I get one I never enjoy it so end up quitting. I don't understand.
It's this constant cycle and I feel guilty for doing it and that I'm a failure and that I'm never going to enjoy anything and stick at it. I have no other way of getting money so I literally get money from benefits even though I really don't want to but that's the only way I can survive without being trapped in this miserable cycle of being at work almost all the time and even then I feel kind of trapped because then I'm trapped in the constant control of the benefit people controlling what jobs I should and shouldn't be applying for and if I don't apply for ones that I am apparently "capable of doing" then they can just stop my money and then I have literally nothing. It's really got me down today. I've never been so stressed and down in my life. I'm usually a very optimistic, look on the bright side kind of person but today I'm just feeling depressed lol.
+CastleFlameGal I´m sure you´ll find something you can stick to in time. But work is work and it can´t always be fun. We all do things we don´t love because we have to pay the bills. It´s the contrast that makes you enjoy your free time so much. If you had all the free time in the world, it wouldn´t feel as great as you think. Just try to find a job that you don´t hate and enjoy the sense of accomplishment once you get your pay check.
+Soli Verypersonal so true! Every job has good and bad points, good and bad days, and unless you're lucky enough to not have to worry about bills and supporting yourself, we just have to suck it up sometimes!👍🏼 It's life!
This video is really helpful. I also work from home and I sometimes find myself past 8 p.m. in my pajamas and my work only halfway finished, because it's so easy to procrastinate all the time.
Another tip is to get outside and get moving (walking, cycling, anything) as often as possible, because if you don't you'll realize that you're spending all your days indoors.
I LOVE your videos ! especially the newer ones , its so good !!
nugget is adorable
THUMBS UP FOR INGRID TO DO A NIGHT ROUTINE
This is going to be so helpful when I'm balancing work, school, and fun. Thanks Ingrid!
This is so helpful, thank you!
I don't have a stay-at-home job, but I often have do schoolwork at home, and it's very hard to find that balance, like you said in the beginning. This is especially true on the weekends.
I love the post-it note over the list idea! I love lists, but the amount I have to do some days overwhelms me, and that seems like a good trick to stay focused on one task and motivated!
Thanks again!
