Working remotely has brought flexibility and convenience, but often comes with challenges related to maintaining a work-life balance.
If you’re struggling to find a balance, there are a few small steps you can take to help yourself.
1. Establish a daily schedule
Create a fixed schedule with times when you start and finish your work. Avoid the tendency to work excessive hours and spend some time with your loved ones.
2. Separate your workplace from the rest of the house
Create a special space in the house, dedicated exclusively to work. A desk away from relaxation areas will help you stay focused and separate work time from rest time.
3. Take short breaks
Short breaks in the day improve concentration and productivity. Take advantage of breaks to move, drink water, or relax for a few minutes.
4. Set clear boundaries
Let colleagues and family know the times you are available to limit interference during work. At the same time, avoid answering business emails or out-of-hours calls, as this creates the impression that you are always available. By setting clear boundaries, you will avoid the possibility of experiencing symptoms of burnout, i.e. physical and mental fatigue.
5. Strengthen communication with the rest of your team
When you work entirely remotely, it’s very easy to lose contact with your colleagues who work from the office, and feel more isolated. That’s why it’s important to get in frequent communication with your colleagues, either through video calls or regular emails.
6. Take time for yourself and your family
Your personal life should not be undermined by your work. Devote some of your personal time to activities that relax you and, of course, to your loved ones.
7. Ensure a stable and fast Internet connection
Wondering how fast Internet is linked to a good work-life balance? Well a fast Internet connection means that your productivity will be at its highest and you’ll get tasks done fast enough to spend time on the activities and people you love.
