Set boundaries between work and personal life from "summary" of The New Corner Office by Laura Vanderkam
In order to thrive in a remote work environment, it is crucial to establish clear boundaries between your work life and personal life. Without these boundaries, the lines between work and personal time can easily blur, leading to increased stress and burnout. One way to set boundaries is to create a designated workspace in your home. This could be a separate room, a corner of a room, or even just a specific chair at the kitchen table. By having a dedicated workspace, you can physically separate your work from your personal life, making it easier to transition between the two. Another important boundary to set is your work hours. Just because you are working from home does not mean you need to be available 24/7. Establishing set work hours and sticking to them can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. This might mean logging off at a certain time each day or setting boundaries around when you are available to respond to emails or calls. It is also important to communicate your boundaries with your colleagues. Let them know when you are available for meetings or calls, and when you prefer to be left alone to focus on your work. By setting and communicating these boundaries, you can help ensure that your colleagues respect your personal time and allow you to recharge outside of work hours. In addition to setting boundaries around your time and physical space, it is also important to set boundaries around your mental energy. Avoid constantly checking your work email or thinking about work tasks during your personal time. Give yourself permission to fully disconnect from work and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. By setting clear boundaries between your work and personal life, you can create a healthier and more sustainable remote work routine. This will help you avoid burnout and maintain a sense of balance and well-being, both professionally and personally.
