This COVID-19 pandemic has brought indiscriminate impact to businesses worldwide and everything from small-scale entrepreneurs to multinational companies has been forced to change how they do work to help and support the authorities in containing the virus and prevent its spread. This resulted in many companies shifting to home-based settings to continuously provide their services to their clients, while others go online utilizing delivery options to sell their goods.
Although it may seem that working from home can give you the flexibility that comes with it in terms of your time and a feeling of liberalization, it is without a doubt can get out of hand and can also be stressful. A study demonstrated that about 41% of those who were working from home experienced a stressful feeling and environment compared to only 25% of those who worked on-site. This number may be due to various stress factors that are inherent to this work-from-home setup. Here are some of the common stressors employees may face while working home-based:
CHANGE IN ROUTINE AND STRUCTURE
Lack of structure frequently causes delays because there's nothing or nobody is requiring you to finish anything at any specific time, and unsatisfactory work because you might be tempted to get something done pretty quickly to sneak out and relax with your friends. These practices, however, can gradually become out of control and eventually turn into a stressor. Regular schedules and deadlines, strict rules, and clear organizational structure seem to keep work on track and organized. These have been the major drawbacks of working from home, and COVID-19 has made it the number one stressor to many.
DIFFICULTY SETTING BOUNDARIES
Working remotely is about flexibility and working from wherever and whenever you want. To some people, this may be an opportunity to have balance in their lives, especially when it comes to spending time with their partners, friends, or kids. But without some strict boundaries, working from home can mean ambiguity. With the liberty of setting your schedule, it's often difficult to know your limits between your work and your personal life.
SOCIAL ISOLATION
It is easier to focus and go over your job when you're in your own home with no co-workers around coming by your desk to ask for unimportant things or a boss who frequently checks on your works. But according to a report by "Igloo," four out of every five remote workers feel left out of their workplace due to processing information, communication, and decision-making. These lead to social isolation and a lack of social interaction.
TOO MANY DISTRACTIONS
The frequent ringing of your doorbell, a series of phone calls, and loud screaming from the television can be annoying and stressful. Working in a house full of people can also be too distracting, even with just your wife and children. Either the kids are running around and fighting with each other, or your wife interrupting you about unimportant issues.
TIPS TO GET THE STRESSES OFF WHILE WORKING AT HOME
Here are some strategies for minimizing the stress of working from home.
1. PLAN AND SCHEDULE
Although you may find this awkward since you’re working from your own home and have the liberty to choose when to work, it's important to set a schedule and not just work when you find the time. Try to choose the time when you know you’re at your best with no or fewer distractions and work on the most challenging and complicated tasks during these times.
2. KEEP A SOCIAL LIFE AND STAY CONNECTED
Even when at home, the support of your “previous” workmates and your family can ease the boredom of working alone. This can boost your energy and be more productive. Mini breaks and short chats with your fellow work-from-home mates can shake off some of the stresses from work.
3. REST AND SLEEP WHEN YOU NEED OR HAVE TO
Adequate rest and healthy sleep are vital for productivity. Working too much can exhaust all your energy and mental focus. It helps to keep the same working hours that you would at the office, starting and ending the workday around the same time. Simply just imagine that you’re still going to the office for work and then coming home to rest.
4. FIND YOUR SPOT
Look for a space in your home where you could work in focus with relatively few or no distractions at all. Keep it minimal with just your desk, a chair, and your laptop. Choose a spot where you go over with your jobs comfortably but not too cozy to get you to sleep.
5. GIVE YOURSELF SOME TIME OFF
You’ll find that it helps to take short breaks and be with your kids, bond with the family, or complete a chore. Find a chance to have some personal time. Also, keep motivating yourself by giving yourself your own rewards. For each task accomplished, you can have some time off for a little self-pampering with Recovapro massage gun.
