Home Working - Our Dos and Don’ts
If you have never worked from home before and you suddenly now find yourself doing so, it can be quite an adjustment that should not be underestimated, and it is vital to take care of your mental health to be able to work effectively.
To help you with your new working situation, we have collated some simple dos and don’ts to help you navigate your new home working.
Ella Flemyng, who works at Cochrane, a healthcare charity, shared the changes she’s made to her routine:
“Having suffered with anxiety in the past I knew taking my wellbeing seriously in the transition to self-isolation would be important. My new routine includes meditation before work (I use the Headspace app), spending the first hour of the working day on my balcony with a cup of coffee, reading through emails and making my to-do list for the day. I’ve set alarms for lunchtime yoga (Adriene’s Yoga on YouTube is great!) and for when the working day finishes, at which point I go for a run or walk. I’ve bought a sketching set and started drawing again after 15 years, and I’m planning to download an app to start learning Spanish as my brother moved to Madrid a few years ago and I’ve been meaning to learn for a while now.”
We have also developed a rapid response course to tackle the challenges of home working and cultivating good mental health in these uncertain times. Free webinars also coming soon!
