four tips that will help maximize your productivity while avoiding burnout<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Take a break and go for a walk<\/h3>\n
When working from home, make sure to give yourself a break. That means stepping out of your home office and going for a walk. Even if it\u2019s just for five minutes, walking will not only help you relieve your mind, and improve your overall productivity, but it will also give you a break from sitting too long in front of a screen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keep a schedule<\/h3>\n
Remote working makes it so easy to go back to work, even if it’s our day off, or if we\u2019re meant to be offline. With work emails connected to our smartphones, and our laptop just steps away from us, it\u2019s easy to check for updates or complete a task which we might\u2019ve left incomplete.<\/p>\n
One way to limit your screen time is by keeping a schedule. For example, if you have the ability to schedule your meetings, be strategic about it: insert breaks in-between, so that you aren\u2019t continuously looking at your screen.<\/p>\n
Keeping a schedule can help limit you from turning on \u2018work mode,\u2019 and make it easier to maintain a healthy home life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Turn on the Do Not Disturb function<\/h3>\n
Technology can sometimes be a wonderful thing, and it\u2019s best to take advantage of it when you can. One way is by turning on the Do Not Disturb function on your phone for work-related applications. This can keep you \u201coffline\u201d and help reduce the temptation to access those apps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take short breaks to keep up with household chores<\/h3>\n
Although this is something not many people enjoy doing, chores can help create a barrier between work life and home. Even if that means scrubbing your stovetop, doing your laundry, folding your clothes, or just quickly reorganizing, tending to your living space will help you take some moments away from the screen. It’s also an opportunity to refresh your mind.<\/p>\n
Doing any sort of physical activity will also help create balance between work life and home life. It will improve your productivity, boost your creative thinking, and help you stay calm during stressful situations.<\/p>\n
