Welcome to another issue of Working From Home. You may be a seasoned home-worker or this may be your first time. Either way, here are some simple but effective things you can do to keep yourself comfortable, healthy and productive.
Obviously, working from home is different from working in an office, but our behaviors can differ too. A new working structure can introduce habits we do not necessarily want, such as eating too much, too little or eating the wrong types of food.
Here are a few tips to help you to eat well:
- Try to eat lunch and snacks at the same time as you would in the office.
- Try to eat the same types of food too. Keep treats out of sight (or out of reach)!
- Take a break from your working area to eat your lunch. The act of getting up and moving will help you keep focused and energized.
- If you find yourself snacking too often, try drinking a glass of water instead. It should suppress the feeling of hunger.
Do you feel lethargic? It could be you are so focused you have simply forgotten to eat. In the office, you have triggers such as colleagues getting up for lunch. Without these triggers you may simply forget.
Remember, your health and well-being is the most important thing for us. This homeworking period is temporary and difficult for all of us. Stan State Administration is here to support you through this challenging period.
