Working from home has become a vast success in today’s times. It avoids the necessity of travelling to the office through busy streets and heavy traffic. Working from home has Top 10 advantages like time relaxations, keeping a watch on the baby, no petrol expenditure, you can dress your way, etc. But sometimes, working from home itself can cause too much stress and anxiety. It could be due to various reasons like time management, the improper balance between office work and household chores, etc. Well, here are a few points that could help you de-stress yourself while working from home.
Set up a Separate Space for Work
Working at home can make you lazy as you will feel like working in the bed or on the couch mostly. Brace yourself and sit to work on your office desk to perform more effectively. Once you create a dedicated space for work, it allows you to focus on your job better without any distractions. Make sure you use the right type of furniture which feels comfortable enough to work.
Prepare a Timetable
Sometimes we tend to be flexible with our timings as that’s the main benefit of working from home. It is ok to have flexible timings but ensure the timings go as per your plan. Prepare a timetable and fit in all your work within a specific time so that you don’t end up doing work without a time frame. It helps you work relaxed and finish everything on time. Once you manage time, you will not feel the pressure or stress of work on you.
Take Short Breaks in Between
A woodcutter needs to sharpen his axe every now and then in order to cut better. Likewise, taking small breaks in between is like food for the brain. It helps you perform actively and efficiently later. Moreover, if it is a desk job, you can’t sit in one place for hours. It’ll only create backache and neck pain. So get up in between and walk to the living room or outside to get some fresh air before you continue to work. Take a few deep breaths, rotate your neck, stretch your back and then sit back to work.
Do not Shuffle your Lunch Breaks and Tea Breaks
Having lunch and tea at the same time every day regulates the body organs to function systematically without any discomfort. Working late hours or without having food can cause acidity, irritation in the chest and stomach, headache, etc. A hot cup of tea in the evenings by the window sill will make you feel more fresh and relaxed.
Try not to do Household Chores During Office Hours
Allot a specific time for household chores and office work. Try finishing off your cooking and personal stuff in the morning so that you will not be distracted during office hours. In case you are a night person and would want to work in the night, schedule your timings and execute the plan accordingly. Managing the baby or giving instructions to the maid in between cannot be avoided, but try not going beyond your fixed time frame for any work. Minimise distractions and work according to your preference to perform better.
Finish your Work Quickly
Work delay causes high stress as your employer cannot tolerate delays in work all the time. Yes, we are allowed to be late once in a while but making it practice will spoil your reputation in the company. So do not take too much time for any work as it might lead to delay of another. Prioritise your work and know what’s to be submitted first to finish them in the same order.
Stress usually depends on the mind. Not every work is easy for everyone. Some can be good at one, while the others can be best at another type. So don’t take the tension to your head. One bad day might not necessarily end up in a bad career. Focus on work in such a way that there is no chaos or confusion in it. Keep your workplace neat and fresh to create positive vibes. Keep checking you’re to-do list every now and then to ensure you have not missed out on anything.
