Remote working can seem like an odd and odd concept to many people, especially if they have been comfortable with the concept of everyday work routines in the office for a long time. And working from home can be fun for some people, but it can also be “scary” for others, especially those who have to switch between office work and homework. It can greatly affect the mental health of some people, especially if they don't have the ability to deal with stress properly at home. Therefore, here are some tips that you can implement as part of your work from home routine to increase productivity and maintain positive mental health. Let's go!
Define your workspace
The main reason for choosing a private workspace at home is usually because that one thing alone isn't getting enough attention. In fact, the workspace itself is very important, for example, this workspace is an area where you can concentrate and not be disturbed by other residents of the house. In addition, in this room you can avoid mixing up work responsibilities with other household chores. This workspace is very adaptable to the size of your home, depending on how you set it up.
Also, be sure to consider any distractions that might distract you from working from home. And if you thought that television or game consoles were the only distractions at home, think again! In fact, finishing your job in a room that reminds you of unresolved family responsibilities, like washing clothes or doing the dishes, can also be distracting. It can drop your productivity at work. Trust us when we say you need to get rid of your visual distraction triggers, right now.
Stay prepared and pay attention to appearance as well
We're talking about self-confidence which involves not only the way you walk and talk but the way you dress, a key aspect of winning half the psychological "battle" is self-confidence.
In fact, presenting yourself as a well-dressed person not only shows respect for your client or manager, but also for the information you are trying to convey to that person.
In similar situations, dressing up in a workout suit can actually increase your resolve to exercise. This idea is further reinforced by a 2012 study from the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology which concluded that choosing to wear exercise clothes all day can convince your brain that regular exercise is good for you. Wear clean but comfortable clothes throughout work hours as it will motivate you to stay focused on achieving your personal fitness goals and getting your job done.
Plan your day around regular working hours
Your workplace may have undergone drastic changes overnight, but job responsibilities have remained the same or have they increased? And while working from home during PSBB can also give you the opportunity to find different methods to rejuvenate your mind and body, that doesn't mean you have to throw away today's work to do it tomorrow. In other words, keep your workload under control before it exposes you to mental health issues.
One of the most effective ways to control your work responsibilities and achieve a work-life balance is to stick to this important rule: a schedule! Remember to set aside the time you want to spend on non-work-related activities as well, as long as this does not distract you from your current job responsibilities. For example, spending time with family members at home, playing sports, organizing or being a part of the charity, or even starting a long-planned project. Of course, there can be unforeseen circumstances that can disrupt your schedule as well, but the most important thing is to stay disciplined and make the most of the time you have during PSBB. As Geoffrey Chaucer once said, "Time and the tide wait for no one."
