Working every day from home can be a real challenge!
It has its benefits and its disadvantages; here you will find some tips on how to turn your disadvantages into … benefits!
Think about a normal work day and how it goes, surely you have already detected some flaws or losses in productivity that you cannot avoid, right?
Take note of these excellent tips on how to ensure your wellness at home!
1. The first hour of the day, is for you
When you wake up the first hour of the day is yours and nobody else’s, and why?
Because at that time you will forget for a few moments the rest of the day, work, deadlines, obligations, you will start the day with a relaxing moment.
Calmly prepare your breakfast, take a look at the news, meditate, listen to quiet music, read. You choose what suits you best.
If your head takes a little longer to wake up, take a shower first and then start your activities.
We advise you to wake up one hour before starting your professional tasks, so that you can do everything relaxed and ensure your wellness at home right at the start of the day.
If you have children, move the clock a little further, you can choose to wake up earlier than them to have your moment, or later, you choose.
2. Define your workspace and create a routine
If you are working from home it is important that the place where you work is different from all other places where you practice other tasks.
Thus, you feel that that space is defined only for professional tasks and that you will only enjoy it for that purpose.
This is very important in the sense that at the end of the day you don’t feel like you were always in the same space, but if you don’t have a different space don’t worry, define that you have that table and chair in the room only and exclusively for that purpose.
It is also important that you do not make the mistake of prolonging your hours of sleep unnecessarily just because the distance between the bed and the workplace is shorter.
Maintain your routine, wake up at the same time you wake up to go to the office and get ready as if you were going to leave the house, but choose comfortable clothes because you will spend part of your day sitting.
If you have kids at home right now, define a space for them too.
Show them the importance of your work so that they feel they must respect your place and environment.
3. Organize your professional tasks
There are many applications on the internet that can help you define your tasks and goals, in fact if you do a brief search you will find thousands of them.
But we make your life easier and we advise the one that we think is the most effective to organize you.
Have you heard of the Einsenhower matrix? If you didn’t your wellness at home, when it comes to work, can definitely be better!
The Eisenhower matrix is a basic table that helps you define and arrange the priority of each of your tasks and objectives, it is so simple that it is divided into urgent, non-urgent tasks and the degree of importance of each one.
The idea is that all tasks can be distributed in each section of the table, at the beginning of each day you start with those that are most urgent and important.
This formula is also effective for children, to organize homework, study priorities for tests and assessments, so it becomes fun to organize their tasks!
4. Plan the next day
Have you ever heard the words “don’t leave what you can do now for tomorrow” correct?
After work we are tired, but if we plan the next day we leave work more relaxed and calm to start dedicating ourselves to other types of home tasks (or leisure).
If you feel too tired to do so then we suggest that you leave this task for the first thing to do the next day, when you start your work schedule.
Organization is essential to feel calm, relaxed and ensure your wellness at home.
Also, don’t forget to take care of the tasks less appealing to some, like cooking.
Leave the next day’s lunch done, it’s really worth it, this way the next day you can use most of your lunch hour to relax a little, watch an episode of a series you like or go for a walk around your area.
5. Healthy body, healthy mind to empower your wellness at home
If you already have a sport or activity that you love, great! Reserve an hour of your day to dedicate yourself to physical and mental exercise.
If you are not a big fan of physical activity, look for something that puts you in the mood, go for a walk, yoga, meditation, dance to the sound of your playlist, the important thing is that you relax and put your body in motion.
If you are part of the TP universe then you are familiar with TP Club, our calendar of free activities for employees.
Have you thought about taking an online dance class? A group walk adapted to today’s measures? There you will find several options!
Do not forget that sitting at a desk all day has some disadvantages, it makes you more sedentary, so it will always be beneficial to practice some activity, even on more under-charged days do not discard the breaks to get out of your chair and walk around the house a little.
Another key point to feel good is …hydrate! Drinking water is a basic necessity, but remember that we should drink an average of 2 liters a day, sometimes falls by the wayside, don’t forget to hydrate yourself.
In case you have children, do not discard this point, if you have the time counted, include them in your tour, if you have the possibility, enroll them in a physical activity and practice your activity at the time aligned with theirs.
We hope that these tips help you and that you feel true wellness at home!
