Thousands of people will now be working from home.<\/p>\n

\n

Working from home is both satisfying and challenging. In order to maintain a productive workflow, it\u2019s essential to establish a routine.<\/p>\n

Setting proper boundaries between work life and home life will ensure that your healthy lifestyle is not compromised under these unique circumstances.<\/p>\n

1. Prepare your workspace<\/p>\n

Stock your workspace with items you may need throughout your workday such as your laptop, charger, and a water bottle.<\/p>\n

Include other items that may be useful such as lip balm and lotion, that way if you need these things you won\u2019t be rummaging through your house, subsequently getting sidetracked.<\/p>\n

Make sure your desk is organized and that your workspace is adequate for the projects you are developing.<\/p>\n

Avoid areas with a lot of foot traffic, as side conversations with family members may be a distraction.<\/p>\n

2. Wear professional attire<\/p>\n

Even if you don\u2019t have any virtual video calls, get dressed each morning just as you would if you were physically going into the office.<\/p>\n

Dressing in professional attire when working from home will help to separate work time from relaxation time, even if both are happening in the same general area.<\/p>\n

Designating apparel for specific activities also helps to break up the day and ensure that even though you\u2019re working from home you have set healthy boundaries between your work and leisure time.<\/p>\n

Once your working day is over, changing into leisure wear will be that much more satisfying.<\/p>\n

3. Use your senses<\/p>\n

Scent is a powerful tool for memory.<\/p>\n

Peppermint is a refreshing scent that can help you feel more awake and alert.<\/p>\n

Some findings have even linked peppermint to increased memory and attention span.<\/p>\n

Diffusing peppermint essential oils into the air, or consuming peppermint tea or gum may help to increase your focus as you are working from home.<\/p>\n\t\n \n
