Does it happen to you that in this world where remote work and home office are part of your daily life?, Sometimes the lines between your work and personal life blur.?
Here we are to find out how to stay sane while conquering the world of technology from our homes!! 🏡💻
There is nothing like being able to choose your office. From the armchair at home to the coffee of your choice, Remote work gives us the freedom we all deserve. But while you are very comfortable in your chair, it is easy to forget “that you are working” and divert your attention to the fact that you need to water the plant in front of you or to the ball that your child has been throwing at you for 10 minutes.. A large part of this type of work requires mental capacity to control things that face-to-face work would not require..
But also remember that the lines of code (or the work you have to do) They are not the only priority Maintaining mental health is crucial!
Embrace the Mindfulness Palette, from short breaks to stretch to meditation apps that will help you stay calm when your attention no longer holds. Set reminders for short breaks and make sure you have something green (¡plants, no code errors! 😂) in your workspace.
Good practices for your team🚀
A successful tech team needs effective communication. Don't be afraid to raise your hand virtually! Regular meetings, Efficient chat channels and the magic of video calls are the key to collaborative success.
When it comes to workplace well-being, company culture plays a fundamental role. Does your company foster a supportive environment? That's gold! Share experiences and celebrate successes, big and small ones.
Personal Time VS. Working time⌛
And as we said at the beginning, do you feel like the line between personal time and work time is becoming blurred??
Set limits! Establish clear work hours and, the most important, respetalos. Your job isn't going anywhere, but your sanity does!
Set specific times for certain tasks, according to its complexity. Do not combine all heavy tasks in the same day, distribúyelas. (Because then you have to stay at odd hours to finish them) Don't put off the easiest tasks forever, and leave room for them too.
If you think you need it, create your private workspace, without distractions and interruptions.
Don't forget that mental well-being is not a luxury, it is a necessity! A healthy person will be more effective in whatever they propose and the better they feel and the better they control the external agents that may affect them., you better do your job.
So, let's load our coffee cups, let's adjust our chairs and move towards the tech future with a smile and above all our sanity intact. 💻🌟
Do you have any foolproof tips that you use to stay balanced??
I believe that it is very important to have a defined space within the home. (or at a nearby bar or coworking space) where you feel comfortable and can work concentrated. Use applications to manage the agenda and save spaces to recreate within it.
