Managing notifications
We often open apps more out of muscle memory and not a desire to see what is happening.
- The most effective way for logging off is to rearrange your home screen so that theses apps are a few swipes away.
- Consider not allowing any notifications beyond phone calls, and maybe text sounds for the most important people in your life.
- If you need to get work email notifications, use a different mail app for your personal email.

How to Avoid Serious Back Pain While Working at Home
Aches and pains
With the 2020 pandemic, many people are required to stay home.
If you're one of these people, you may be noticing new aches and pains you did not experience at the office.
Ergonomic furniture
Many companies follow an ANSI-HFS standard in the design of their computer workstations, which incorporates ergonomic furniture and accessories.
Most homes don't have the space to accommodate ergonomic office furniture, nor do most people invest in it. If you're working from home using your computer on a regular table or you sit in a lounge chair or on your bed, chances are you aren't in a healthy posture. It could potentially lead to musculoskeletal injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, or even deep vein thrombosis.
Your computer screen
View your computer screen with a straight neck. Put your screen in front of you at a comfortable viewing height. Don't look down at your screen or angle your screen, so you must twist your neck.
You may have to put the screen on a pile of books or on a cardboard box to raise it to a comfortable viewing position.

Exhausting icebreakers

“How are you holding up?” Or, “How is quarantine treating you?” Or, “You guys ready to kill each other ye...
How you can stay social
Instead of triggering more anxiety by rehashing your quarantine situations, think about what you can do to make your friends feel good and how to be there for them from a distance.

How to Run an Effective Meeting - Business Guides
Everyone should know why they've gathered
Set the agenda for the meeting. It can be summarized on a handout, written on a whiteboard, or discussed explicitly at the outset.
While it may seem obvious to set an agend...
Start and end the meeting on time
- Start at a predetermined time. Not a minute later. Sitting around trying to guess when the meeting will start is a waste of a precious resource. Busy people should be able to discipline themselves to be there on time.
- Ending on time is just as important. It will help ensure you accomplish what's on your agenda.
End with an action plan
Leave the last few minutes of every meeting to discuss the next steps.
This includes deciding who is responsible for that task and what the deadlines are.
