Description

To remain productive during this time there are 5 top tips Stephen has learnt by working from home.

The first being - Power of Routine - People were not getting things done because the things they were used to weren't there anymore.

At first, this did cause a little discomfort, but I realised that I am in control of my routine and so I went about changing it to fit with working from home.

Create a morning routine to help get warmed up and ready in the morning, have 5 things that you are going to achieve in the day and then an evening routine.

It's just as important to wind down as it is to get warmed up.

Bonus tip: Don't blast all your 5 tasks out in one stretch. Break it down and spread them throughout the day.

In times of stress, it is important to stay present. To achieve this I follow Wim Hoff's method of focused breathing. There are plenty of tutorials on how to use his method on youtube.

The importance of fun!

At first, I was just working working working... And I was exhausting myself.

I realised that I didn't have a healthy work/fun balance at home. So again I changed my hobbies so that I could have fun at home.

I stopped denying myself the pleasure of enjoying the things I like and started to embrace them.

It's funny really, but when you start doing the things you enjoy, you feel better about doing the work half too!

Speaking of fun, I want this episode to be fun. I don't want any of you listening to feel like this is a lesson or a chore that you can't wait to get out of!

Stop trying to spread yourself too thin and just relax and enjoy today's episode.
