Burnout When Working From Home

Working from home does not necessarily mean we are enjoying life and can’t be in stress. Work can feel dull and monotonous as there is comparatively less movement or change of scenery.

With most interactions becoming virtual, one can feel trapped in this scenario with nothing to look forward to.

Remote working versus working in an office

Nearly 40 percent of respondents to a survey said they felt more productive while working from home, however, there are also negative impacts. Here are some ways to avoid burnout and to adjust to the new WFH normal.

The steady rise of remote workers

Over the last decade, remote working has become more and more popular.

In 2003, 19.6 percent of people were considered remote workers.
In 2015, the number has climbed to 24...

Remote working vs working in an office

While there are many benefits to working from home, we need to be aware of a few things.

Remote workers may be working on average 3.13 more hours at home than at work. Over time, it can become detrimental to your mental health and your productivity.
You're eating and exercise habits may become worse while you're working from home. Fifty percent of respondents to the Bluejeans survey say they have not been able to exercise regularly.
Distractions can cut your productivity. The most commonly reported distractions that remote workers face are taking care of kids (27.6 percent), scrolling through social media (26.5 percent), checking on the news (26.1 percent), and getting distracted by streaming services (9.7 percent).

Healthy changes to make

The rapid shift to remote working has proven many jobs are capable of being done at home. There are some changes that we need to make if this is going to continue.

Separate your home and work responsibilities. Between checking the news and taking care of your children, you may feel pressure to work more.
Take regular breaks from work, even just for 10 minutes. It is easy to feel that you're always "being on" - which is how burnout happens. Periodically "signing off" allows you to recharge.
A solution may be fewer days per week at home. A 4-day workweek can improve worker's productivity by up to 40 percent.

Workplace Hell

It gets frustrating to become involved in our work, but to have a work environment that is not conducive to our deeper involvement.

If a workplace rookie (or even a manager) finds the working environment to be authoritative, opaque, chaotic or uncaring towards the employee, there is bound to be burnout, something that is increasingly common in software development profiles.

The Burnout Road

There are many companies that create a ‘road to burnout’ and there are some signs that point towards that:

Criticising your colleagues, clients, managers for their decisions or actions.
Having an impression of decreased work quality.
Only doing the work that is asked.

Why All Those 'Working From Home' Tips Are Not Working

I've been regularly working from home for a decade. And for the past five years, I've spent the majority of my time getting work done from my home. I started this blog from home. I wrote six books from home. I wrote 90% of my articles from home. You get the idea.

The “work first” mindset

Design your days around your work. Yes, there are other important things you have to take into consideration, but keeping your eyes your work signals that you are committed to getting your work don...

Don’t overdo it

If you start making mistakes and you feel dizzy after working a certain number of hours, don't overdo it.
This is a sensitive topic if you have a boss, but observe the number of hours you are functioning the best. If you have 7 hours of productive work in you per day, use them. But if your battery runs out after 5 hours, call it a day.

Productivity strategies

Experiment with them and find which one better suits you.
Create your own system for working from home. What works for other people might not work for you.
