Although the practice of working from home is not new, it has been more common after the Covid-19 outbreak in order to stabilize the nation’s economy. Although the idea was already in use before, it was fully implemented during the coronavirus epidemic, and the work-from-home culture is now slowly returning.
However, individuals who work from home must also manage their physical and emotional health, which can be stressed out by having too much to do and not enough time to finish it. As it is more harmful than the pandemic itself, it is crucial to treat the physical and mental stress that remote workers experience.
The following advice will reduce the negative effects of work-related stress and make working from home enjoyable.
1. Proper planning (to use time efficiently)
