Tips For A Balanced Work-From-Home Lifestyle

Many people struggle with creating a work/life balance, especially because of the rise in work-from-home positions over the last few years. Taking the stress from the office home can cause a strain on your mental health. On the bright side, there are ways that you can make changes to find that balance and restore your peace.

You can be a hardworking employee without feeling the pressure to always say yes. It is healthy to set boundaries at work. For example, when you receive a work email on the weekend you do not need to feel required to answer it. Read and respond promptly on Monday morning, but don't apologize for the delay.

Create a schedule from home that has a start and end time, and be sure to plan in coffee breaks and a lunch break. Then stick to it. This can help you separate work life from home life, and maintain a balance that will prevent burnout.
