Set up a separate office space
Working from your couch (or even your bed) might seem appealing, but bringing your work materials into your personal space can really interfere with your ability to relax when you’re done working for the day. Having a space dedicated solely to work will help you focus and create that coveted work-life balance.
Create a schedule and stick to it
Part of the fun of working remote jobs is the ability to create your own schedule. And while you won’t have the exact same routine every single day, especially if you’re in school or have other commitments, creating a schedule that caters to your life will help you stay on track, both professionally and personally. Try to wake up and go to sleep at the same time every day, schedule time for exercise, and block off time to work when you know you’ll be productive.Make exercise a part of that schedule
Exercise is an essential part of staying healthy. And when you create your own schedule, you have the advantage of flexibility. Schedule your workouts at a time that’s most convenient to you, and stick to them. If you treat your workouts like business meetings or other work commitments, you’ll take them more seriously.Consider ditching your office chair
You’ve probably heard of people investing in standing desks or using exercise balls as an office chair. These options may be better for your posture or back, depending on your needs. This concept doesn’t work for everyone, but it does utilize more muscles, so it’s worth giving it a try.Get up and move
It’s easy to get lost in your work and spend hours at a time sitting, which is not healthy. Set a timer or use an app to remind yourself to get up and stretch or go for a short walk every hour.Prep your meals and snacks
