Work from home is the new norm post pandemic, combining work and personal life in one area. Here are some tips for you to thrive in a remote setting and achieve work-life harmony.
Take breaks
Always remember to take breaks, especially when it becomes overwhelming and too stressful. Stand up and do something else to prevent health issues such as chronic back problems. Short breaks can range from 5-15 minutes, which can help you refocus and avoid burnout. Drink water, do some stretches, eat a snack, take a walk at a nearby park, or just sit and enjoy nature in the Canberra Crescent Residences gardens.
Establish a workspace in your condo
Find an area in your condo where you can be free from distractions, and transition from condo relax mode to work mode. The ideal location has good lighting and ample space to place your equipment without feeling cramped. This can help you get into focus faster and get more work done.
Multi-purpose furniture
Invest in furniture with multiple uses so the items in your home office will be useful and serve a purpose. This will allow you to store things better, save space, and keep everything organized.
Time for your hobbies
Set aside time for your hobbies and not only work. This can help you relax and destress to prevent any more stress from piling up. It can be any hobby like gaming, drawing, dancing, listening to music and more to care for your well-being.
Have a schedule
Keep things on track by establishing a schedule you can follow through consistently. Create a routine from waking up in the morning, having breakfast and coffee to ready yourself to get to work, and set time for fitness activities. By doing so, you can be productive while also being healthy and not just work all day, which can contribute to burning out quicker.
