Take a break
Bad time management equals correspondingly bad results. But we’re not talking just about managing your deliverables here, we’re talking about managing your breaks too. You know how you work best, so remember to accordingly schedule breaks just as well.
Remember – Body, Mind and Spirit. Stress on your mind can affect the rest of your body too. This can be good news. Incorporating aspects to mind your physical and mental health, such as exercise and meditation respectively help lower the stress levels you face.
Things in your life take precedent too; a family member who is ailing, or a child demanding your attention. Work will always happen. But so does the life outside of it too. And the latter may not wait as long. Plan out your time, and delegate the flow of your work to other team members during off hours.
Of course, remember not to fall behind with work because of having one break too many. Prolonged periods of inactivity at work will make you subconsciously get used to this way of spending time and think you can get away with not doing much at work. Knowing the problems WFH can entail is a step forward to ensure this doesn’t happen, which you can read more about here .
