Work-life balance has become somewhat of a buzzword with work from home being the norm post-pandemic. If you’ve invested in a condo at the Emerald of Katong and wish to stay at the peak of your health and well-being, here are five adjustments you can make.
Do Not Set Up Your Workstation in the Bedroom
It’s essential to draw a line between your personal life and your work whenever you can. This means your bedroom should not be a place where you work, and vice versa. In a small space such as a condo, you can designate a workstation in the living room or in a corner.
No After Hour Work
Unless absolutely important, you should do away with work stuff once you reached the number of hours for the day. Make it difficult for your boss or company to reach you through email or messaging apps by turning off your computer or putting your smartphone on mute.
Make Time For Your Hobbies
A work-life balance means you have extra time to do the things you like. It could feel like a chore having to develop a hobby or go out to walk, run, or cycle in a nearby park after a work shift, but not doing so can lead to lower productivity and possibly burnout.
Set Up a Relaxing Personal Corner
Your personal corner in the house or condo doesn’t have to be big- a pillow on a window or a blanket strewn across the bedroom floor can suffice. As long as the space allows you to wind down or practice your breathing techniques without interruptions, then it will do in a pinch.
Don’t Forget Social Life
Socializing can be about walking your dog on a park and meeting like-minded individuals, or seeing friends you haven’t spoken to for a long time.
