How do you manage to separate work and personal life when working remotely?

Pomodoro works for me. 20 mins of work , 5 mins family time then 20 mins of work. Don't avoid family time , integrate or find a symbiotic relation with family time

Its hard for me too, but when I had work from home.. I used to get in to separate room, lock the room from inside and work...how we use have breaks in office I tried to maintain the same way.. after log out , lock the room from out side. But still it hard because too many knocks on the door apparently ended up with too many breaks,....

I am still trying to figure this out. My jobs include SAHM, cook, social media manager, data analyst, content writer, strategist... I've got a lot going on and I have to work when my baby is sleeping. I'm giving calendar color coding a shot to see if that helps me get more done and enjoy more of my time! Taking a walk at the end of the day helps to cut off my working hours.

Hi! I go to another room for work and arrange everything there for a working atmosphere

When working from home, the line between work life and personal life can get blurry. It may become harder to tune out at the end of the workday. Having worked remotely for some time now, I tend to diversify a working week a bit by for example going to another location. I prefer a coffee shop, but it also could be a library, or shared working space, etc. Changing scenery once in a while helps a lot. But other than that, it also helps to define the schedule for yourself (working hours, taking a break, etc), and also having a separate space for work in the house helps with imagining that you (me😉) work from an office and not home.

Hello Elina! You can try coworking spaces in your neighbourhood with flexible hours

I use separate devices for my work and personal affairs. That helps my set clear boundaries and compartmentalize my work and personal life.

Depends on person to person. There are some who are excellent in planning and execution and time management. For me, Planning works to certain extent as most of the things land up ad hoc. I take things as they come and before I do that, I ensure to complete the task in hand. Otherwise, I will mess up the entire day!

Hi @elina_rappu. Really a tough question to answer. But, I have a thumb rule to work only in office room in my home for work and arrange everything there for a working atmosphere.

Great question. Things that help me is a routine, daily/weekly/quarterly goals, and daily journal.
