CENTRAL

After a couple of years of working from home for many of us, it’s only natural to be hitting a rut. No matter how great your at-home work setup is, you might need a refresh.

Here are few tips to make working from home so much better:

declutter your workspace

A lot of work-related clutter can build up over time. Take a few min-

utes to collect any office items lying around the house, such as your video call headphones or your loose papers and sticky notes. Then recycle anything you don’t need and store the rest in a dedicated location. You’ll feel fresher and ready to take on what’s next.

upgrade your workwear

Just because you aren’t going into the office doesn’t mean you don’t deserve to feel your best and look sharp. If you’re keen on business wear, try easing into a new pair of pants or a simple summer dress to find a more relaxed summertime vibe. If you’ve defaulted to pyjamas and sweats every day, consider finding the happy medium with a new pair of sleek joggers, just for a change.

get outdoors

Take advantage of the season and head outside while you can. A quick walk in a local park is a great way to take a break or end your workday. If you have a backyard or balcony, set up a simple internet extender to move the office outside on warm days. The fresh air will lift up your spirits and do wonders for your productivity.

boost online security for your personal devices

According to a recent survey, only 18 per cent of Canadians are using online identity theft protection tools, and most of us just don’t know where to start. With so much online activity taking place, including a high volume of info sharing, we’ve become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks and identity theft, so it’s worthwhile to update your security measures for your personal devices as best as you can.

While no one can prevent all identity theft or cybercrime, using an all-in-one solution like Telus Online Security Powered by NortonLifeLock can help protect your personal devices, online privacy and information. Made for consumers, the comprehensive coverage is available across Canada (excluding Quebec residents) and includes multiple layers of protection that can help protect your identity and provide restoration if your personal information is ever stolen.

Overall, changes like these can help bring peace of mind to your work-from-home life going forward. Find more information at telus.com/onlinesecurity. ■

productive rainy-day activity: tidy up your closet

One way to spend a rainy day is to bingewatch your favourite show. This can be fun, but if you are looking for something a little more productive, why not tidy up your closet?

Here are some easy tips:

1. Depending on how big your closet is, plan on spending from four to six hours sorting and organizing it.

2. Set up an area in your room for different piles for items you will sort, donate, keep or store.

3. Pull out your clothes, accessories and shoes from your closet and drawers and place in one pile.

4. Spending about 20 seconds per item, set aside the clothes, accessories and shoes you wear most. Some of these may end up in the keep area and some in the store area, depending on the season

and your storage space. You may need to repeat this. As you repeat the process, ask if you have worn the item in the last few weeks or even months. If you haven’t and it isn’t sentimental, it should go in the donate pile.

5. You may have clothes, shoes or accessories that are meaningful to you, but you haven’t worn in a while. If you have the space, place these items in the store pile. If you

don’t, choose whether to keep or donate.

6. You may need to try on some of your clothes to make sure they still fit. If something hasn’t fit in a while, it’s probably time to part with the item.

7. You should now be left with a donate pile. Keep in mind that your objective is to tidy up your closet, so this pile should be a fair size. Donating can be free and convenient. Charities such as Diabetes Canada will pick up your clothing for free.

8. Now place your keep pile back in your closet or drawers. You may want to take the opportunity to do some sorting before you do. There are different ways to organize. One way is separating by type – shirts, pants, dresses or suits, for example. Other ways include by season or colour. Anything returning to drawers should be placed so that they can be easily seen.

9. Shoes and accessories should also be placed for easy access and viewing. Sort by how often you

wear them with the most worn easiest to see and grab.

10. Your stored clothes can be placed in a box, preferably plastic, in your closet, or in another area. Don’t forget to reassess these stored items as the season changes or on the next rainy day. For the donated items you have, consider scheduling a free home pickup. Learn more at declutter. diabetes.ca. Or, you can donate to one of the 2,000 donation bins across Ontario. ■

blend and extend:

a new take on plantbased eating

As plant-based foods continue to grow in popularity, everyone is looking to fit more veggies into their diet. This doesn’t have to be as difficult as it sounds. Mushrooms can easily be mixed into many of your favourite family meals, including tacos, pasta and burgers.

Finely chopped mushrooms mix in well with any ground meat because they are high in umami flavour and because their texture easily imitates the taste and consistency of ground meat. Not to mention, mushrooms are high in nutrients and low in calories, great for turning any meal into a healthier option.

Try out the blend and extend recipes below- they are as simple as two easy steps:

step 1: mushrooms for blending

• ½ lb. (500 g) mushrooms

• 1 small onion, diced

Place mushrooms in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely chopped.

In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook chopped mushrooms and onions, stirring until browned and most moisture has been released, around 5 minutes. Set aside to let cool.

step 2: extend ground meat with mushrooms

Mix the mushrooms into your favourite dish.■

blended burgers

In a large bowl, stir mushroom mix with 1 pound ground beef, 1 clove minced garlic, ½ cup breadcrumbs and 1 egg. Form into six patties; cook either on the barbecue or stovetop at medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Serve on buns with toppings of your choice.

cheeseburger quesadillas

In a large skillet over mediumhigh heat, stir in ½ pound lean ground beef, 1 clove minced garlic and the mushroom mix. Cook for 8 minutes or until ground beef is cooked through. Place one tortilla in the bottom of a grill pan over medium heat. Sprinkle with ¼ cup shredded cheese, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, diced dill pickles and meat mixture. Top with the second tortilla. Carefully flip the quesadilla over and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from skillet and cut into wedges. Repeat to make four quesadillas total. Serve topped with fresh shredded lettuce, ketchup and mustard.

blended meatballs

— News Canada

In a large bowl, combine the mushroom mix, 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 clove minced garlic, ½ cup breadcrumbs and 1 egg; mix ingredients until incorporated. Shape mixture into 1½ inch meatballs. Place on foil lined tray and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 25 minutes.
