Have a dedicated work space
If you’re working from home, it is crucial to have a dedicated work space. This allows you to spread your work out and not worry about your kids or dogs trampling all over it. It also allows you to have professional meetings without “distractions.” But, most importantly, a dedicated space can also help you “leave the office” at the end of the day. If you are working from the sofa, and your laptop is just sitting on the coffee table, it is a lot easier to “just finish one more thing. ”We need to work, but we also need to rest.
Take breaks... frequently
And speaking of rest, the next most important part of any work day KAISERSLAUTERN

For nearly two years, everyone at our company has worked from their homes. Very early, we realized, no matter how bad COVID became or didn’t, it wasn’t worth the risk to our staff and their families. So we sent everyone home, with their computers and work phones. If you are dealing with a similar situation, here are four important tips that we have found useful in helping to “normalize” the situation.
