We’re all more isolated than we were.
And so are the people we speak with.
So here are simple ways to help you and them stay positive and productive:
- SET-UP. Be clear where/when you’ll work, and where/when you won’t. Make sure your workstation is easy to work from, with no distractions. And that everywhere else is fun to be, with no work distractions
- NO-GO AREAS. You have to get away from work. So, make some no-go areas. In my house, we have no-go rules. Like, no work after 6pm. No work in rooms where the kids are playing. And definitely no smartphones in the bedroom. Ever.
- SEEK ENERGY. Make sure you find time to do things that make you feel good – fresh air breaks, exercise, watch some comedy etc – anything that gives you energy
- CHAT. Speak with people regularly. Make lots of short phone calls. Chat with your friends. Don’t be lonely
- ADD VALUE. Like you, others need help being positive and productive too. So do your best to help them
