Having your home office in the same space where you relax can make it harder to separate work time and chill time.
“During this past year, when many people were working from home, it became very difficult for people to separate work from their personal life,” therapist Ariel Sank said. “By creating a separate area where you work versus relax, you are not only creating a physical separation but a mental separation from the two.”
Sank added that separating your work and chill environments could be tough when living in a small space.
“Even changing up the chair or table you sit in to work versus relax can make a big difference,” she said.
