But that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have never worked from home before, most likely your living room couch or the dinner table is all you have. However, you can still clear up a corner to put your computer and <strong>create a clutter-free workspace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to make sure you can sit in the correct posture, so look around the house for auxiliary tables, counter tops or even a stable shelf you can use to work standing up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Move furniture around to get sunlight or a view. If you can\u2019t get close to a window or the room is kind of dark, find a floor lamp or even a USB light with a cool white light bulb. Forcing your eyes will make you feel tired more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you know for sure this will not be a temporary situation, we recommend you get a computer desk, a table top lamp, and a comfortable work chair. Your eyes, back and neck will appreciate it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Dont_let_pajamas_become_your_workwear\"><\/span>2. <strong>Don\u2019t let pajamas become your workwear<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/remote-life.jpg\" alt=\"Man working on his laptop computer, laying on his couch in his pajamas with a cat and a messy living room\" class=\"wp-image-6693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/remote-life.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/remote-life-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/remote-life-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to let yourself go when you&#8217;re working from home.

In fact, your work-from-home attire can be even more casual than whatever you\u2019d wear in an office space.

Leaving all the distractions behind will help you create a healthy and productive workplace environment under your own roof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are more people around the house, <strong>it might be difficult to make them understand you are at work<\/strong>, so <strong>l<\/strong>et them know politely you need some focus time and that you\u2019re not available during working hours unless the house is in flames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones with some instrumental music or white noise can also come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unless your job is related, turn off your TV and your Social Media notifications.

This means working on a task for 25 minutes (which makes a \u201cpomodoro\u201d, kitchen timer shaped as a tomato), rest for 5 minutes, and take a longer 15 to 30 minutes break every 5 \u201cpomodoros\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t postpone lunch-time and keep a bottle of water on your desk to stay hydrated<\/strong>. Refilling is also an excuse to take a short break, just don\u2019t over-snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in front of a computer screen for long periods of time makes your eyes feel dry, achy and heavy, and that is because we literally forget to blink. <strong>Rest your eyes for a few seconds every half-hour and use eye-drops regularly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find what works best for you to remember is time to rest and disconnect, so don\u2019t use breaks to check your Instagram page or play video-games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Btw, this applies to work in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Stick_to_your_work_schedule_and_go_analog_when_youre_off\"><\/span>8. <strong>Stick to your work schedule and go analog when you\u2019re off<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/work-remote.jpg\" alt=\"woman working from home and closing her laptop as if she's leaving\" class=\"wp-image-6710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/work-remote.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/work-remote-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/work-remote-600x358.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When we\u2019re down to work and gain momentum, it\u2019s quite difficult to have the required self-control and know when to stop. Especially when there isn\u2019t anyone asking you to leave because they\u2019re closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of the many advantages of Remote Working is flexible scheduling<\/strong>, but this can backfire very easily. Again, most companies are still trying to figure out what it means to have their employees away, so they might assume they can ask you anything anytime just because you\u2019re close to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Resting is vital to make Remote Working viable.<\/strong> If you are always on, you\u2019ll end up having these endless weeks and you\u2019ll burnout in a minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So avoid working too many hours by sticking to your schedule. That means that you\u2019ll only do work-related tasks, answer calls or emails and have meetings on weekdays, within business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going completely analog at night and during the weekends is the best remedy to dodge work anxiety, but if you can\u2019t definitely live without technology, try separating work devices from personal devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Take_a_walk_as_if_you_were_coming_back_from_work\"><\/span>9. <strong>Take a walk as if you were coming back from work<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/walking-beach.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/walking-beach.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.blooming.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/walking-beach-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, turn all your devices off and leave the house.
