Whilst working from home can be daunting for someone who is used to commuting to the office Monday to Friday, it need not be intimidating or overwhelming. \u00a0Here are some tips to ensure you can work as comfortably as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep a Routine<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be tempted to sleep in late and start working five\nminutes after you get up. Set an alarm to ensure you wake up at a normal time.\nGive yourself time to eat a healthy breakfast and get dressed. Although it may\nseem pointless to wear your everyday clothes, it will feel more like a normal\nworkday than if you stayed in pyjamas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Set Up a Workstation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it\u2019s your dining room table or a home office, set up\nyour laptop, screens and docking station in one place and work from there. Try\nnot to work from you couch or your bed; it\u2019s important to keep a distinction\nbetween your work area and the rest of your life, especially when it\u2019s all\nhappening under one roof.&nbsp; Following from\nthis, make sure your screen is at a comfortable height and you have a\ncomfortable chair, so you are not slouching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take Regular Breaks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be hard to stop working once you get in the \u2018zone\u2019\nbut remember to stop for a few minutes every once in a while. Get up and make\nyourself a cup of tea or coffee, rest your eyes and stretch. This will really\nhelp your concentration. Remember to eat a filling lunch too! Whether working\nat home or the office, we\u2019ve all experienced the 4pm slump. Take the\nopportunity to get some fresh air \u2013 a few minutes away from your desk will\nreally help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re normally a religious gym goer, or whether you haven\u2019t run since Year 11 PE, getting exercise whist working remotely is so important. If it\u2019s a nice day, go for a walk, jog or cycle outside and enjoy the fresh air. Remember to practice social distancing and separate 2m from other people. If it\u2019s raining or you are unable to go outside, workout from home. There are thousands of videos on YouTube for home workouts for all levels of fitness, with or without equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take Time for Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re not physically leaving the office, it can be harder to stop working and avoid the temptation to send \u201cjust one more email\u201d. If you are quarantining with your family, remember to make time to spend with each other. Make time for yourself and do something you enjoy whether it\u2019s learning a new skill, cooking a delicious meal or taking a bubble bath. These are strange times we\u2019re living in and quarantine is a unique experience for us all. Make sure you\u2019re taking care of yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Quarantine can be a lonely time for anyone. If you feel you are struggling, please don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out to the rest of your team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The guidance above was created to distribute to our team in response to us going &#8216;fully remote&#8217; and do our part to lessen the spread of Covid-19.
