  • Wake up and get ready for the day. Get dressed and out of your pajamas - wear something you feel good in. 
  • Set a schedule and stick to it. 
  • Try and set a time to get outside (even if it's just opening a window)
  • Incorporate movement breaks: walk around the house, stretch, play with kids, anything to get away from the screen for 5-10 minutes. 
  • Set boundaries with your time. Have a "work" space and use it only during work hours. 
  • Set attainable expectations. Some people take months to get in the flow of working from home. Practice self-kindness
  • Try and work in terms of tasks rather than time. Start your morning by writing down your most important task for the day. Post it somewhere that you can see it.
