CUTTING THROUGH THE NOISE

As we go into the weekend remember to play the long game and take some time out to relax. We are likely to be in this for a while yet so resist the urge to thrown yourself in with no time for adjustment.

Clean your home. Spend some time creating an environment in which you feel able to relax and work.
Remove anything unnecessary from your workload. Don’t make anything more complicated than it needs to be
Create a designated separate workspace even if it can’t be a whole room
If at all possible, position your workspace near a window for natural light and fresh air
Give yourself a break. Allow yourself some time to adjust to your new lifestyle
Create a basic achievable daily routine within which you can begin to build a schedule for working from home

Set a realistic time to get up each morning. Parent's - I realise most of you have no choice around this and many of you are up way earlier than you would like!
If needed, put the alarm clock in the other room so that you can't hit the snooze button but have to get up to turn it off.
Don’t look at your phone till you are up, dressed and ready for the day
Decide what time you will stop working each day to allow yourself time to wind down and relax in the evening

Limit the amount of time you spend watching the news and listening to the noise around COVID-19
Be kind to yourself
