Though seemingly counterintuitive, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/90232763\/5-things-youre-getting-wrong-about-extroverts\" target=\"_blank\">extroverts need a break from technology, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.webp 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png\" alt=\"Actionable Steps\" class=\"wp-image-214915\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actionable Step:<\/strong> Taking time away from your devices is shown to increase productivity, improve learning outcomes, and reduce stress. A simple strategy to use is to leave all your devices behind when you go on break, take lunch, or finish work for the day. Spending some time without the constant distraction of your various screens will leave you feeling calmer and more focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-create-a-morning-routine\"><strong>6. Create a Morning Routine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once of the biggest differences between working in an office and working from home is the lack of transition. When you work from home, the usual morning ritual of showering, getting ready, and commuting to the office disappears. This can leave some extroverts feeling like they\u2019ve been parachuted bleary-eyed into work each day. While the 10-foot commute is a welcome change, many miss the transition period as a way to prepare mentally for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.webp 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png\" alt=\"Actionable Steps\" class=\"wp-image-214915\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actionable Step:<\/strong> The solution is to create your own morning ritual. Start by identifying the top three things that you can do to optimize your physical and mental wellbeing before work. Some extroverts find that replicating their normal office routine works best. Others may wish to spread their wings and explore new options. Try meditating or journaling before work to prepare your mind. Fresh air and exercise are also a good way to start the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-feed-yourself\"><strong>7. Feed Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As an extrovert, you crave regular, positive feedback from coworkers and managers. This feedback can be essential in maintaining morale, motivation, and direction. However, when working independently, you may not have as many opportunities to receive these affirmations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.webp 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png\" alt=\"Actionable Steps\" class=\"wp-image-214915\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actionable Step:<\/strong> In this instance, extroverts need to learn to encourage themselves. Set your own weekly milestones and find ways to celebrate as you achieve them throughout the week. For example, if you finish a project early, you can tweet about your accomplishment and treat yourself to something you enjoy. The added bonus is that documenting your accomplishments will come in very handy when it\u2019s time to fill out a self-evaluation or update your resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-find-an-online-community\"><strong>8. Find an Online Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While many extroverts working from home have coworkers they regularly communicate with, freelancers and contract professionals often don\u2019t. To fill that gap, remote workers typically join professional organizations or attend networking events. But finding these opportunities can be challenging, especially when working independently. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to seek out associations, industry groups, and local meetups to stay connected and build meaningful professional relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.webp 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.webp 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png\" alt=\"Actionable Steps\" class=\"wp-image-214915\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo.png 500w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2020\/06\/Virtual-Vocations_Actionable-Steps-Logo-80x80.png 80w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actionable Step:<\/strong> Another way to fill this void is to join an online community that will give you the outlet to exchange ideas, share problems you are tackling and make connections. Online communities can be found almost everywhere in our current digital-focused workforce. There are even virtual reality spaces where you can connect with others and attend virtual events using your avatar. If this isn\u2019t quite your speed, you can find email newsletters, podcasts, and other chat groups to help you create a community all your own. Volunteering can also give you an outlet to meet other like-minded individuals or those in your industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_cbcb86f7-0a08-4e03-8e31-4b1d84142e80\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"60vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-499954\" style=\"width:454px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/staticblog.virtualvocations.com\/2022\/10\/VirtualVocations_CareerCoaching_StayingVisible-SlideDeckCover-png.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"60vw\"><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.virtualvocations.com\/remote-career-center\/overview\/staying+visible%3a+remaining+top-of-mind+and+adding+value+as+a+fully+remote+worker-105\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn how you can continue to reap the benefits of onsite work interactions now that you are working from home rather than in a traditional, in-person environment<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div id=\"ub_divider_61ba7e0a-483d-4170-a6f5-e95c5ff8fa94\" data-divider-alignment=\"center\" class=\"ub_divider wp-block-ub-divider ub-divider ub-divider-orientation-horizontal\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 2px\">\n\t<div class=\"ub_divider_line \" \n\tstyle=\"border-top: 4px solid #ccc; margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px; \">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:31px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-9-take-on-leadership-responsibilities\"><strong>9.

As an extrovert, you&#8217;ll be tempted to invade an introvert\u2019s space. You\u2019ll want to talk to them and be with them as the only source of company in the house. You may also want to make more noise than they are comfortable with, such as background noise or loudly talking on phone calls.
