Staying healthy while working from your Lake Oswego apartment can be a real challenge, but it is possible. Here are some tips from experts on how to survive and thrive working from home.

Rise and Shine

It is important to have a consistent morning routine. Get up have a cup of coffee, go for a walk, take a shower,  and do your hair. It is tempting to just roll out of bed and onto your computer, but don’t do it. Keep or set up a morning routine and stick to it!

Get Dressed

Don’t stay in your pajamas all day! There is no need to dress in full-on business casual, you should but put on something that makes you feel productive. Be ready for Zoom meetings and get dressed for working from home success!

Dedicated Workspace

If you have a spare room in your Westlake Meadows apartment that you can turn into an office, great! If not, create a space in your apartment that can serve as an office for the time being. This might be your dining table, a corner of your living room, an area tucked away in your bedroom … anywhere. It is important that you set apart a dedicated workspace for optimal mental health.

Take a Lunch Break

Don’t eat your lunch in front of the computer. Get up and take a real lunch break; it is good for your mental health, and focusing on lunch will help prevent overeating.

Keep Healthy Snacks on Hand

It is easy to fall into a habit of mindless snacking when you work from your apartment. Instead of loading up on sweet treats and unhealthy chips, try fruit, protein, nuts, and veggies with hummus.

Get Outside

Try to get outside at least once a day, even if it is a short walk or to stretch on your deck or patio while maintaining social distance. Fresh air and Vitamin D do wonders for your productivity and your mental health.
