Work from home is more stressful than working from office. People complained about headaches, backaches and sleep disorders. Face to face meetings are over rated.
Sarah Townsend is a business copywriter. She has been working from home for more than twenty years. She lists down six things, which will make it easier to work from home.
Fix a place to work everyday. Having a comfortable chair, desk and natural highlight. They help in focusing.
Get ready everyday as you would do to go to the office. Use the extra time to catch up on reading or listening to podcasts.
Connect with your friends and peers. Choose the positive groups rather than the cynical and negative groups. Using video calling apps helps.
Do not ignore physical activity, as it helps in productivity, well being, problem solving and clearing mental blocks.
Conquer distractions. Avoid social media, notifications, checking of mails and watching videos. Do not mix household work with the offie work. Ask for help.
Routine is the key. Start and end the day at the same time. Try pomodoro time management technique, which splits your day into 25-minute blocks of focused activity with five-minute breaks after each burst.
