With the spread of the novel coronavirus across the world, many enterprises are allowing or even mandating their employees to work from home as a way to minimize the chances of a massive outbreak. While many people enjoy the comfort and convenience of working remotely, it is a double-edged sword as it may harm your physical and mental wellbeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this Pacific Prime Thailand article, our experts will give you a few tips on how to be healthy and productive at the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Individual<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Location first<\/span><\/h2>\n

Not everyone can stay focused in the same environment so it is important that you designate an area at your home where you can shut out distractions and separate work from life. Since you are at home, you are free to do whatever you want (e.g. playing soft music, standing while working) to make yourself motivated and focused. In normal times, working at libraries or coffee shops can be an option too; but now with the coronavirus spreading, it is best you avoid heading out into public spaces as much as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take regular breaks<\/span><\/h2>\n

It can be easy to work remotely for hours at a time since there is little distraction or interruption. However, getting stuck in your chair and keeping the same posture for hours can harm your body. We encourage standing up or walking for 10 minutes every hour so that you can move or stretch your body. You may even want to run in place or do some push-ups. It is also a healthy habit to get your eyes off the screen and look 20 feet away once a while so you won\u2019t suffer from the blue light emitted by the digital device and ease the huge strain on your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay connected with your workmates<\/span><\/h2>\n

You may easily feel isolated and lonely when your super ultra chatty colleagues are not around bombarding your ears. Working by yourself for a prolonged period may have a negative impact on your mental wellness. To alleviate the loneliness and fill the socializing gap, you can find a co-worker whenever you feel like you need someone to talk to or use a video call to have a team meeting every week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be positive<\/span><\/h2>\n

Without your boss or co-workers by your side, the challenges and frustrations at work may feel more personal since there\u2019s no one you can share the experience with. Our advice is to believe in yourself and be grateful for what you have – after all, many companies have laid people off or even closed down due to the coronavirus crisis. To help spread the positive energy around, you can also recognize and praise your teammate\u2019s work more frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maintain healthy living habits<\/span><\/h2>\n

It goes without saying that plenty of sleep and a balanced diet is the key to staying healthy. However, while working remotely, it is very easy to stay up late as you won\u2019t have to commute to work or eat a lot of snacks instead of a proper meal. You should never underestimate the power of healthy food or quality sleep as they can boost your cognitive performance and productivity, as well as improve your mood.<\/span><\/p>\n
