Set Boundaries Between Work and Personal Activities - Deepstash

Set Boundaries Between Work and Personal Activities

  • If possible, have separate places for work, rest or discussion when working from home.
  • Make yourself a mini work area in the corner of the room rather than working all over the house on your laptop.
  • Set boundaries with your family and loved ones, letting them know the times you would be working.
  • Have a ritual like doing some exercise, going for a jog, followed by a bath to set your mind in ‘work mode’ while establishing a time gap, to transition yourself to work. This emulates the office commute and gets you in your mental work zone.
