\"Make<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Little have I imagined working away from office for this long a period. This is impossible, I thought. How can one contribute productively without having a basic workstation at home with just a laptop and no tables or a chair that could support my working posture? How can one have no human connections at all? Ridiculous!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I am exactly 60 days later contributing to my project and managing myself quite well all alone. No complaints!! Happy Me!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your thoughts can make or mar you. I changed the way of handling this time. Loaded with positive ideas decided to take it on.! My approach to work and life has changed for the better. Here is what I follow to stay in good mental and physical state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stick to a work routine:<\/em><\/strong> I make sure I stick to a routine to make myself productive at work. Log in and Log off at definite times. Take smaller breaks for lunch and tea. Lesser distractions from friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise an hour:<\/em><\/strong> This helps me be on my toes, refresh the mind body and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect with the team:<\/em><\/strong> As someone who manages a team, I make sure to connect with the team once in two days, not only get work updates but also to enquire of their well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Healthy:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0With no Swiggy delivering food<\/strong><\/a> at the clock of a button, it calls for me to cook and have healthy and sumptuous food, which significantly has improved my overall health. I really enjoy cooking – that is true!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice a long-lost passion:<\/em><\/strong> I have revived two things I used to do a lot. Painting and Reading. Gives solace to my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn and Equip: <\/em><\/strong>I have signed up for online courses on Cloud Computing and IIBA that would equip myself to a more challenging role and take on more when the era of lock-down ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reach-Out!<\/em><\/strong> Many know me as a people’s person. And now no people .. ha ha ha.. Apart from conversing with near and dear ones daily over phone, I set aside time to call people I have failed to talk to. On the list \u2013 favorite teachers, people who need help at this hour, friends who I just lost track of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pray or Meditate:<\/em><\/strong> I do this in my style. Meditation to me, sometimes is sitting in a state of emptiness. Meditation to me, sometimes is thinking positively on how to tackle the days to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep at 10:<\/em><\/strong> No gadgets or movies or anything after 10 pm at night. Lights Off and me Off to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We shall all emerge stronger and better from the current situation if we practice and plan for change and positivity!! Conviction and Commitment is the key!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes and I am definitely making Hay!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
