Working from Home Guide

Working from Home Guide
June 25, 2020MarianaUncategorized

If you’re new to the remote-work game, like the millions of people that are asked to #Stayhome in the hopes of flattening the COVID-19 curve, there’s a few tried and true tips you should follow to enhance your experience and prevent #zoomburnout ! These easy and affordable habits are designed to supercharge your makeshift home office to increase your productivity more than ever!

  1.  Rethink Golden Hour

Do you feel awake ready to start your day at 7am? As soon as you wake up, sit down with a feel-good beverage to perk you up and get a to-do-list ready for the day. Starting off with the hardest action item… “Do your toughest task first” says Time Pychyl, PhD an associate psychology professor at Carleton University in Canada and co-editor of Procrastination, Health and Well-Being. This might be getting a work-out in… Since you don’t have to worry about the hassle of a morning commute to work, working from home can actually be more productive if you take advantage of the new found time!

2. Dress for Success!

We’ve all heard the saying: People tend to feel more powerful, confident and creative getting dressed in formal clothing according to the Social Psychological and Personality Science study. Now, formal at home doesn’t mean your best suit or suit dress to sit in your kitchen in front of your laptop all day. Dress for success at home means changing out of your PJ’S into an outfit you like and get ready (maybe some #makeup and #hair to get through your day confidently no matter how busy it might be, looking fresh!

3. Let There Be Light

If you have the luxury of working on a patio or poolside outside at your home or even near a window, take advantage of this! It has been proven that people exposed to daylight have a better nights sleep and move more – both of which can not just increase your mood making you happier but more efficient (as if happiness wasn’t a good enough reason!). In comparison to being stuck without any sunlight and becoming a sad soul as stated by a Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine study. So…. Shine on my friend! 


4.Take Micro Breaks

Taking small breaks is so important throughout the day and definitely does not reduce productivity. In fact, it makes you more productive when you return to your work! Taking a few minutes to do a 5 minute kitchen clean-up or even taking the dog for a walk for 15 minutes will re-set your attention span and clear up brain blockage you may be experiencing. No-screen short breaks can actually help increase your focus, according to research done by the journal Cognition. Remember, the best micro or macro breaks are the ones that consist of moving your body. So get up and take a break!

No, it’s not a whoopee cushion! This here is a No, it’s not a whoopee cushion! 
This here is a Hot Water Bottle. 
Back in the day, every household had one in their medicine drawer to help with aches and pains and cramps. 

But we know that treating pain properly requires Mobility! Not just heat and rest. 

So my question to you is: 
🤨If you’re suffering with a back pain or a shoulder ache, are you going to reach for the hot water bag and ‘rest it off’ or will you reach out to a good Physio clinic to get worked on? 😀

As we approach the weekend, let’s take a moment As we approach the weekend, let’s take a moment to reach out to one another and just... talk. 
Let’s be there for each other. You never know who’s life you might change or who’s life you might save. 

Health care workers such as physiotherapists and other rehabilitation professionals are always listening to patients concerns and life struggles to offer support and compassion. 

Movement and emotional state are unarguably connected. The endorphins released in your blood stream from doing exercises and being active help improve your current mood and outlook on life. Studies show that tactile stimulation of massage therapy eases anxiety and improves sleep.

💕As adorable as this picture is of a new grandm 💕As adorable as this picture is of a new grandma and her granddaughter 👶 we can’t help but notice the not-so-great posture that is often assumed when holding a newborn in cradle hold 🙄

👉 This asymmetric posture of the shoulders and upper back with the additional load of a 6-10 lb bundle of joy can lead to neck and shoulder pain really fast! 

💁‍♀️So what should we do?? Take baby away from grandma?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Or teach grandma some baby holding #ergonomics :

✅ Sit in a supportive chair (not the couch) 
✅ Use a pillow or lumbar support behind your lower back
✅ Arch your upper back (push chest out)
✅ Hold baby evenly levelled on both arms
✅ Have both feet flat on the floor 
✅ Alternate which side you hold baby’s head on as this is baby’s heaviest body part 
✅ Hold baby on a pillow in your lap
