Tips for Working from Home & Navigating Work Space A

t the onset of COVID-19, more than 100 million Americans have been

ordered to stay home with several states issuing stay-at-home and shelter-inplace orders. This means adjusting to an entirely new structure of working, at least for now, for many who have never worked from home before.

As someone who spent 3 months of an internship (entirely remote) in an uncomfortable, temporary rental home as my family was waiting for renovations on our new home, I know that working from home can be a challenge and occasionally isolating. The way you utilize your space is the key to staying productive and sane.

Whether you’re navigating working in a tiny apartment with your partner, stuck at home with your kids, or working alone, there are certain ways for maintaining a schedule and structure so that you’re able to delineate your workspace from your home life.

every day, change into comfortable but put-together clothes other than your robe or pajamas, and take a brief lunch break away from your desk.

One of the most important factors is having a dedicated workspace. Having a space you go to each day will help you get in the right mindset to focus on the tasks at hand without getting distracted.

Especially those who live in a cramped apartment with two roommates or even a spouse.

Companies like IKEA, Amazon, and Target offer “small space” desk options like wallmounted, floating, lap, and standing desks to accommodate small home living so you won’t be stuck working on your bed or couch.

CULTURE

T

aking a short break away from work will allow you to distance yourself, and then feel recharged once you get back, preventing burnout and further feelings of claustrophobia.

Along the lines of following a work schedule, John Fitch & Max Frenzel, co-authors of Time Off Book, suggest that we calculate the amount of time we normally have to commute and use that time as our “rest” allowance.

If you usually had a 30-minute subway ride or drive, that time was probably spent preparing for the day ahead.

Take 30 minutes to do a relaxing ritual—whether it’s yoga, stretching, video chat with friends/family or catching up on the news.

For parents with kids at home, NPR recommends making a plan for education and environment. With schools shut down, it’s advisable to not regroup children, so don’t plan on any playdates.

Technology can serve as a learning tool and distraction by doing “virtual” playdates via FaceTime and services like Roblox, which allows children to chat while playing a game together.

In these uncertain times, the news and navigating home relationships can serve as distractions and even triggers for stress and anxiety. Finding ways to break up the monotony and learning to cohabitate in your space will allow you to be more productive and happier each day.
