How to Deal with Remote Work Burnout?

2. Have a dedicated workplace

Working on the couch or the bed or the dining table has never been my cup of tea. Even during my college days, I used to have a study/work setup in my hostel room.

A dedicated space allows you to focus, mentally gets you into a work mode, minimizes distractions, and helps create a work/life balance while working from home.

Many remote or work from home employees think that they are already in their cosy space, so breaks aren’t that important.

Be it a high workload, strict deadline, or an urgent task from your boss or a hugely important client; nothing is above your mental and physical wellbeing.

Being too busy working without any break isn’t healthy. Period.

Our brains are just like athletes. It needs rest to function at a greater level and be creative. So, make sure you allow your brain some time to rest and recharge.

You should be friends with your remote colleagues. Because we all need friends at work; we you need people with whom you can share things.

If your employer is not treating you correctly, and you want to raise this concern, you certainly need people to support you.

And that can only happen when you talk with your colleagues, build a bond, and become good friends. 

It is understandable that some of us have our side hustles to take care of and we do that on weekends. That’s absolutely fine.

But at least, give one weekend to yourself. Maybe go to a nearby destination, stay in an Airbnb, cook for yourself, go cycling, or do anything you like.

Take a break from work to rejuvenate that drained and exhausted mind of yours.

It deserves it.

Most of the remote employees tend to work on week offs. This is not right!!

Darling, you have a life. You don’t get paid for your week offs.

Do not overwork with the hope that you’ll be noticed by the company and earn that accolade of the most dedicated employee.

Also, you have to learn how to keep your work/business and personal hours separate. If you can master this art, then you’re this close to becoming the happiest working professional.
