I have been a virtual professional for years now. I work at home, in front of my computer. People say it was easy, but there’s a lot more to that. The amount of preparations, considerations, and things I need to get settled before starting work is astronomical. It is just as stressful and chaotic as working in an office. Sure, I have the comfort of working at home. But the workload is not that easy, and the stressful energy is already at the comfort of your home.

I can see my work sticky notes even when I’m out of work. That is why I developed life hacks or ground rules to maintain a balance in my work and my home. To avoid any inconveniences and unnecessary extra work. Exhibit A – Life At Work Separate your personal stuff to your work stuff Self-explanatory rule of thumb, and you’ll get more tips about it late...
