During these unprecedented times, many of us are now faced with WFH - Working From Home. And if you’re doing this for the first time, you may also be feeling anxious and unsure exactly how to do it. Don't worry, we've got you covered so read on.
To start, here's a few tips to keep in mind as you embark on this new way of working. For one, maintain a consistent, daily schedule, so that you can plan your day and be productive. Get out of your pajamas, and change into an outfit; you'll have a mindset shift when you do, and feel ready to tackle your day! Take several short stretch breaks, so that you're not sitting at your desk all day, and make sure to connect with your co-workers virtually on a regular basis; you'll feel less isolated and more engaged with your team. And finally, don't forget to stay hydrated with water.
We've compiled a list of high quality Made in USA Products to help you create an effective workspace - you'll stay productive and motivated during this WFH time.
