Who are you before you're Work You™?

Working from home has a fun way of blending your personal life and work life together.

Even if you’re incredibly disciplined, having work and life share a space can be stressful (whether it is leading to overworking or underworking).

Since I started working remotely full time, I found that establishing rituals to enforce some structure helped me get ready to work in the same space I live my life in.

The first one I adopted, and one I’m sure you’re familiar with, is coffee. Coffee was my transition between waking up and becoming a Work Human™. I like it more than most (I used to go to sleep thinking about my coffee time in the morning: wake up, walk over to the coffee machine still half-asleep, choose the brew of the day, foam the milk until it’s just right, and then pour the liquid gold into my favourite mug).
