Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, July 19, 2022 11:00 AM Love it or hate it, remote work is here to stay. The old model of reporting to cubicles or corner offices from 9 to 5 is out. Collaborating with far-flung colleagues from the comfort of your bedroom is in. Chances are, if you work from home you love it. While some folks miss water cooler banter and lunch breaks with coworkers, poll after poll finds that people report being more productive at home. Job satisfaction is higher. Work-life balance is exponentially better. This forced social experiment has shown that the old office-centric way wasn't necessarily the best (more conventional wisdom bites the dust). But that doesn't mean there aren't downsides to the new hybrid or work-from-home models either. Social isolation is a real concern. So is the blurred line between personal time and work time, plus the loss of built-in daily structure. Some folks are just sick of the inside of their homes and, frankly, the people they live with. Overall, I think it's easier to be healthy when working from home. If for no other reason, people have more time. When the pandemic forced offices to shutter, a survey from the Becker Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago estimated that American workers saved more than 9 billion (yes, billion) hours not commuting between March and September of 2020. That's in only six months. Now extrapolate that to today, and consider that commuting consistently ranks among the top modern stressors and health hazards. Still, for the reasons mentioned and more, at-home workers face unique challenges that can eat away at physical and perhaps especially emotional health if they're not careful. Here's what I'd do to mitigate that risk. Make It Stupid Easy To Move One of the biggest problems with remote work is how easy it is to sit at your computer all day every day. No need to leave your house or even get out of your pajamas. Suddenly it's dinnertime, and you've barely taken a hundred steps, let alone sprinted or lifted heavy things. Any behavior change expert will tell you that the first step for building new habits is to hit yourself over the head with cues to get it done: Leave your kettlebell in the middle of the floor where you'll literally trip over it on the way to the bathroom. Keep a resistance band next to the coffee maker. Schedule movement breaks into your calendar and enable notifications. Create a sit-stand workspace. Make a game of adopting as many different positions as you can throughout the day. Sit on the floor, stand, kneel, lean. Bounce on an exercise ball or rebounder. Use a balance board or wobble stool. Stand on one foot, then the other. Invest in an under desk cycler or treadmill. Sign up for my microworkout challenge to get a daily email reminder to move, plus a different exercise to try. Challenge your coworkers to complete a certain number of walking meeting minutes each week. Hold each other accountable. Make it harder … Continue reading "9 Ways to Stay Healthy When Working Remotely" The post 9 Ways to Stay Healthy When Working Remotely appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
