Maintaining discipline while working from home:
Let's face it, it is easier to procrastinate work when you are in your pajama's all the time and literally 20 feet away from your bed. Procrastination only put's additional strain on your mental health and will shoot the stress hormones up. A lot of times we are procrastinating not because we are spending time with our family or working on our hobby but just binge watching Netflix or sleeping. Not having anyone to monitor you, like when you physically go to office, can sometimes make us lazy. Try the following to avoid anxiety attacks around deadlines:
Restrict entertainment time: Even if it means a fifteen minutes break at the end of every hour, avoid binge watching your favourite show unless it is your designated entertainment time.
Make a daily to- complete list: Keep this list short if you must but make sure to tick all items off before you close for the day.
Avoid being too comfortable: Dress in semi- formals and have a designated work area away from your bed.
Focus on the task at hand: Its easy to spiral down the hole of paranoia, but making an achievable to- do list will keep you focused.
