An unruly bed, packets of chips scattered on the floor, an overflowing laundry bag, a stacked-up medicine cabinet, coronavirus news running 24/7, and an employee glued to his laptop. The scenario for everyone working from home, after the coronavirus alert, looks more or less the same. And like with any new change, this, too, has received varied reactions.
The work-from-home proposition will help the employees to not only curb the spread of Covid-19, but will also benefit them financially. “Working from home can cut down commute expenses. Food can be cooked at leisure and they can do away with their formals," For working parents, work-from-home is a stress they never asked for. “Kids don’t understand the concept of work-from-home. When they see that their parents are home and that, too, for a considerable time, sitting still is impossible for them.
For some others, working from home does not make any difference to their job, compared to physically working in an office. However, working from home can have several undesirable side effects as well. Not everyone has the luxury of living in an independent house or a gated community where there is scope to exercise either by walking around the house or on a terrace. Many well to do individuals even have a gym or at least a Treadmill at home. However, the average middle class person would be confined in a small flat most of the time. This would almost certainly mean that his or her exercise levels would drastically come down.
Having said that, there are many people who successfully work from home and are able to balance their work life situation very well. It is up to the individual to look after his or her health even if working from home. Possible solutions:
1. Using ergonomically designed chairs.
2. Wearing special goggles which protect against the 'blue light' of the computer screen.
3. Better Mattresses to protect the back.
4. Eat more vegetables, fruit and protein.
5. Do indoor exercises, yoga, meditation and pranayama.
6. Spend time with family, relax and develop a hobby.
7. Take enough breaks and finally
8. Sleep well and on time.
By following these simple measures, one can convert working from home into a boon rather than being a bane.
