Working from home during the COVID-19 lockdown
Many of us
have been asked to work at home. It might have sounded fun in the beginning,
but it’s getting serious and may last for a while.
Set up a comfortable work space
You should
be installed correctly, in an ergonomic way so that you do not get hurt. If
possible, try to establish boundaries not to mix personal and work space. It’s
not always possible to do that. I can’t do that sadly.
Take breaks
Be sure to
take breaks, walk around your home or go outside (always follow recommended
distancing instructions).
Make room for lunch
Take time
to have lunch and disconnect a little bit. It’s easy to forget to eat or just
eat quickly in front of the computer.
Stay in touch with your co-workers
It can be
with email, chat or video conference. It can be through Facebook. My work
created a private Facebook group of all of us to stay connected.
Go easy on yourself and co-workers
Everyone
needs to adapt to the situation and find balance. Reach out to your boss or
supervisor. Don’t forget that you have days when you are not as productive.
