This one is easier said than done, especially if there are kids (or needy pets) around, but try to make it clear to everyone in the house when you absolutely need quiet time. That said, the reality is that there will be interruptions, there will be changes to your schedule, so have a schedule in mind with some wiggle room. You’ll quickly fall into a routine, which helps decrease stress and anxiety. So set a loose schedule for your weekdays, and make sure everyone in the house is on the same page. This one’s hard, as many of us are working from home alongside a spouse or partner, and/or have kids at home full-time. Think about your office at work and try to replicate as much as you can. A comfortable chair, good lighting, enough notepads, pens, etc. There’s only so much most of us can do without making a serious investment in new furniture, etc., but you can make it as comfortable and conducive to work as possible. We are creatures of habit, and moving your work around the house can be discounting. Wherever it is, try to use that same space every day. …that’s NOT your bed! It’s important that you have one designated space that can be considered your temporary desk. Understanding how difficult this can be for even the most adaptable of us, we have put together a list of OUR top work-from-home tips. Not so with the current situation, in which we are not only required to work from home full-time, we also have been told by the USG to stay home, forgoing lunches out and coffeeshop breaks. The workday is clearly defined by when you get to the office, and when you leave, and your family life is naturally separated from work. When in the office, the day is naturally broken up by impromptu meetings, kitchen chats, a walk outside to get a coffee or lunch. Working from home provides a nice balance, a welcome respite from the humdrum of commuting, but it is not without its own challenges.
Many of us worked from home regularly pre-pandemic, but that was typically limited to once or twice a week.
