Stress Free Home-office
Ah, the carefree life of the work-from-home professional—no coworkers to interrupt you, no boss looming over your shoulder, no clock to punch. You can come and go as you please, dress however you like, and attend your child’s soccer games.
A working life without stress. Dream on. Ask anyone who works from home, and they’ll tell you a different story—complete with interruptions from family members and neighbors, no tech support, and the difficulties of keeping to a schedule and maintaining any kind of productivity. (9) .
"Many of my clients thought they would be less stressed when they left the corporate workplace, but the enemy is within," says Barbara Reinhold at Smith College. "It’s not a function of getting rid of stress. It’s a matter of managing stressors. "
(10) . In May, the Harvard School of Public Health released a study that found women in stressful jobs more likely to report poor health than those in relatively undemanding jobs did.
Whether you work at home full-time or once in a while, you’ll be happier and get more done if you follow these precepts.
1. Take Control
When you show up for your first day at an office, the tools you need are waiting on your desk. It’s not so easy when you work out of your house. Take time up front to get prepared and organized. "Feeling out of control—nothing is as stressful as that," Reinhold says. "One of the most important stressors in that regard, research has shown, is a cluttered office. (11) . We’re not sure what’s under them, and we’re not sure we can find something we need. "
2. Get Comfortable
When you are refreshed, you are more productive and less irritable. Too many home professionals ignore this fundamental truth, spending their days working in poor light, seated in an uncomfortable chair at a desk that’s too high or too low. (12) . A few inexpensive changes can improve your work.
3. Set Boundaries
One of the advantages of working from home is spending more time with your family. (13) . "Balancing the increasing demands of work with the pressures of managing family and home can be a challenge," acknowledges Harriet Schechter, author of Conquering Chaos at Work. Don’t just ignore that your home and office overlap; create some boundaries that allow for synergy between the two. (14) .
A. Stacks and stacks of papers make most of us feel a little subliminally crazy.
B. Stress is serious business.
C. A home office doesn’t eliminate work anxieties; it just reshuffles them.
D. Your family is the most important element in your life.
E. That way you can take advantage of the best of both worlds.
F. That also can be one of the disadvantages.
G. You may have converted the baby’s old room to an office, but have you done a thorough job?
H. A working life without stress.
