Boundaries in Remote Work

It's been an ideal setup for most people to work from home instead of going into an office. Some companies don't even offer this opportunity. But as some of us know, it also comes with its own set of boundary issues.

There's a whole new set of possible distractions, greater need for self-discipline, and making sure we give time for ourselves. We end up getting more messages and questions via email or other platforms while working remotely.

So have a reason to leave your home and get some fresh air. Learn to put your work down. Even if you're at home which also acts your place of work, it's okay to take time off. We have enough work distractions when we should be relaxing. 

We need to be conscious that working remotely also requires making space for ourselves in and around work. This need to be a conversation with our coworkers to ensure that our boundaries are understood and respected.
