The Work From Home Podcast

Truth be told, working from home can be more demanding than working from an office. This is because working from home can blur the line between work and life. For one, it can be more mentally demanding as you must play the duo task of manager and staff depending on what needs to be done and what skillsets need to be used.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert on the matter of stress. I’m ranting about the subject.

I would say, the most important thing we need to ensure we don’t get WFH Burnout is to prioritize rest. I say this because burnout comes from overly exerting oneself and the most natural thing to do is the exact opposite of overly exerting oneself and this translates to rest.

Some of the ways we overly exert ourselves is with trying to get everything done and not having the time to delegate work or home tasks to other people.

Another thing that gets us stressed out is spending days and sometimes weeks indoors without really going out. A quick visit to the grocery store doesn’t count as going out. It’s an errand and that also translates to work.

I have read a couple of times about how we need to move around and not limit ourselves to one space. Personally, I and my wife talked about taking a day off each week. This is time we use to switch off every work or errand and we are not doing anything work.

A lot of WFH professionals never really get to take a vacation mostly because we don’t see ourselves as assets. I am an asset to myself. You are an asset to yourself, and you owe it to yourself to have some fun. Go out there and unwind from every form of work and refresh your mental health.

Lastly, I will say, eat healthy, do breathing exercises and light to medium physical exercises every day. A five to ten minute walk each morning will go a long way.
