Keeping a work-life balance during the pandemic

Keeping a work-life balance during the pandemic has proven difficult as the lines have increasingly blurred now that most people are working from home.
Here are 7 ways to help you delineate your work and home life.
- Dress for success. You are going to the office. Look the part. You will sense an immediate energetic shift and your mood lifts.
- Create a morning routine. Go for a walk or drive around the neighborhood before you start your office time.
- Have a designated workspace where you can shut out distractions and literally close the door.
- Calendar your day separating office time from homelife time and stick to it as best as you can.
- Maintain regular breaks for lunch and coffee where you step away from your workspace.
- Shut your computer down at the time you would normally leave the office and go for another walk or drive through the neighborhood. This allows your mind to relax and adjust to your home life.
- Build in time for self-care. With so many demands stacked on top of each other as well as increased stress levels, it's important you recharge your batteries. That's your time where you cannot be disturbed.
