Make your Cabin at Home
To make yourself ready for work, as you are already in the comfort zone, it is important to have a suitable work environment. It is far difficult to separate home and work. If you cannot disconnect yourself from home, you can never work efficiently. As you have struggled a lot to build your career, and you cannot let it suffer at any cost.
So, designate a place for your home office. Decorate a table as of your office, but the office belongings there, a laptop in the center, a small plant, some colorful post-its, your water bottle, and everything you need. The proper work environment will keep you focused on.
Have some Snacks Time
Working from home and during the designated working hours will make you feel drowsy, exhausted, and tired. Breaks for the snacks are good to make yourself alert and full of energy. Working people are normally recommended to take a full meal at lunch, as most of the energy has already drained in the first half. But snacking is a fun thing, keep your favorite snacks, like nuts, chocolate, chips, candies, fruits, or salads on your table and enjoy the snack fuel.
Dress up!
Dressing up properly, not too formally will make you feel lively. It is so tempting to wear your PJ’s all day, but changing clothes will make you feel good, it is a signal to wake up and go to work. Take shower, brush your hair, wear good clothes, put on some makeup, and get on your screen. This is a feeling of being human (just kidding!) and draws a line between being home and working from home.
Socialize
Well, work from home doesn’t mean you have to cut yourself from people, friends, and family. Take out a few minutes and take little breaks to socialize even with the people in your surrounding or get on the phone and check the chats. This will make you feel relax and lessen the work stress also.
