#WFH: Avoid Stress While Working From Home

#WFH

Working from home is really delightful as it only implies zero commute time. And of course less travel time means more time to catch that precious sleep! It is surprising however that  several studies revealed that almost 50% of  those people who are ‘highly mobile’ and possibly ‘working from home’ are highly stressed. This is in  comparison to 25% of office-based workers who are suffering less from negative stress.

Common sources of stress for those working remote or working from home includes the lack of an organized structure and boundaries as it is a lot difficult to identify the area of work within the home. It is a fact too that there are really a lot of potential distractions around you. This happens when you are tempted to constantly check on your social media account; pick up those phone calls; give attention to the demand of children, family and friends while you are currently focusing on  a work task. Whew! Indeed very challenging to serve several masters!

Key Tips to Enjoy Working From Home

Though it really takes a lot of discipline to get organized here are some unique and totally awesome ways to enjoy being at home while working!

There are many activities around you at your disposal. Those who work from home may be proactive by finding and engaging in new activities which was never tried before. These innovative projects may range from building paper scale models to making origami or maybe working on DIY sewing projects and planting veggies in your backyard. These are all awesome and I bet there are thousands of tutorials available online to guide you in these noble pursuit.

2.Initiate ‘Brainstorming’ Sessions with Your Kids, Siblings or Friends

Remember good food excites not only your senses but it can also motivate you to work,work,work!
