Rebalance Work and Home

First things first, you need to rebalance your work and home life� For those of you who work remotely, this can be a lot harder to accomplish� When work is home and home is work, when do you actually switch off? Is closing time still 5 PM? Can you answer just one more email after hours and another one after that?

So, these are our top tips for freelancers, entrepreneurs, and those of you who work from home:

• Create a routine similar to one that you would maintain if you worked outside of your home; • Set clear boundaries with yourself for when you will and will not attend to work matters; • Turn off all push notifications on your phone so that your work messages and emails aren’t interfering with your personal time; • Make sure you get a good night’s sleep every evening; • Carve out time once a week to focus on relaxation�
