One of the problems with working from home is that it can be difficult to switch off, the boundaries become blurred, and you can end up working longer days than you did before.
Ensure you divide up your space and have a dedicated space where you relax, to prevent you working from longer days.
Get outside - if you have a daily team meeting call or a call with a client then try using headphones and walk around the local park – you may find you’re even more creative and productive than you would be indoors.
Build time into your day to get outside, even as the weather changes, it’s important that we all have outdoor time, natural daylight and physical activity.
Build a supportive community around you, and schedule in regular calls with your family and friends, as social support can help in stressful circumstances.
MIND staff share their top tips on working from home
Now that the majority of us are going to be working from home for the foreseeable future, we have all had to adjust to a new way of life. For many of us, going into the office provided a sense of routine and security; it ensured that we got to see people everyday and make social connections, which we know is good for our mental health. Swapping this for staring at your own four walls all day, and dealing with a constant stream of video calls, has taken a lot of us out of our comfort zones. https://www.mind.org.uk/workplace/coronavirus-and-work/tips-from-mind-staff/
