Making My WFH Life Bearable

Actions

• Try to keep on top of cleanliness. For me, the environment around me impacts my thought process. Staying in a good routine of keeping my place tidy, emptying the dishwasher, putting away clean clothes, etc has been especially important.
• Going for at least one long walk a day.
• Having a video call with friends or family every 2-3 days.
• Regular 1:1s with coworkers. Combining this or the above bullet with long walks is great.
• On warmer/dry days, working on my balcony has been nice. I just use my night stand as a makeshift desk.
