A number of people have the opportunity to work from home (WFH) during the current virus pandemic situation. However, work demands and repetitive routines can make individuals highly susceptible to stress, resulting in difficulties in completing tasks and even affecting their overall physical health. Here are some tips to avoid stress during the WFH period amidst the current virus pandemic.

1. Always make time for rest during WFH
Taking a few minutes to rest can help prevent fatigue. Find various ways to alleviate boredom caused by work pressures while being confined at home, such as listening to interesting podcasts during breaks or watching funny YouTube videos to provide a momentary relaxation. Take a break from thinking about work by avoiding checking work-related emails during rest time or disconnecting from work calls in the evening.

2. Stay Connected
Isolating oneself can drain energy and affect one's productivity. Stay connected with family members who live far away, coworkers, or playmates through voice or video calls. Check in with each other, exchange updates, and leave messages to ensure everyone's well-being.

3. Set Priorities between Work and Personal Time
Increased use of mobile devices can sometimes interfere with the work that needs to be done. Make a conscious decision to separate work time from personal time. This can help you stay more focused on your work and minimize stress.

4. Reduce Email and Social Media Access
Reducing the frequency of checking personal emails, chats, or social media can help keep your mind focused. It eliminates the need to respond to other people's issues and allows you to be proactive in addressing your own needs. If your work does not require frequent email checking, limit accessing your emails during work hours only. After work hours, take time to rest your mind and relax your body.

5. Hone Time Management Skills
Working from home can sometimes make us underestimate the importance of sticking to a routine and schedule. Create a schedule and determine the best time to work. This can provide a more productive experience. Prioritize challenging tasks first. Don't let unpleasant or difficult tasks linger in your mind. Even though you're working from home, there are still routine activities that should be done according to schedule, such as having breakfast and taking a morning shower.

6. Self-Care
Setting aside time for self-care is a must when you often feel overwhelmed with work. You can also engage in some simple activities like relaxing your body by taking a warm bath after work hours.
