How to Master Work-Life Boundaries When You Work From Home

Remember when working from home was the ultimate dream? After countless long days of commuting into the office, nothing sounded better than working from the comfort of your own home where pants are optional.

And then 2020 hit and we all HAD to work from home. The pandemic is (finally) over, but most of us our still living our work from home dreams. Except by this point we’ve realized that it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Listen, we know that working from home is a privilege and there are still many sweet benefits (again, hard pants optional), but it also comes with a unique set of challenges. The main one being that it’s harder to distinguish between your work life and your home life when it all happens at the same dang place.

Here’s a few tips on how to master work-life balance for all of ya work-from-homers:

  1. Use a dedicated workspace. This sounds like a no-duh, but it’s so easy to slip into working from your couch or even your comfy bed when you work from home. But doing it is confusing to your brain. When you have a home office, your brain will relate that space to work and the rest of your home to relaxation.

  2. Create your own commute. While we don’t miss long commutes in rush hour, it is nice to bookend your work day. Your routines and boundaries can get blurry when you work from home, which is why we recommend creating your own “commute.” A ten-minute walk before and after work can create separation from your home office hours and your home hours. They also give you time to prepare for the work day and then decompress so you can move into the evening without work on the brain.

  3. Make evening plans. We gotta say it: staying home and watching TV after working from home all day is a surefire way to turn into a hermit. There’s nothing wrong with being a hermit, so we aren’t saying don’t do it, BUT we also encourage ya to make evening plans once or twice a week. Hang out with friends, go to a workout class, or pick up a new hobby like improv or pickleball. Having standing plans every week will force you to log off of work and live your beautiful life.

When you create healthy boundaries around work and home life, you can enjoy all the perks of working remotely. Switch it up and work from a coffee shop every once in a while, enjoy the extra time with your fur babies, and for the love of god, don’t wear hard pants.
