Check out our top 6 bonus tips on how to work from home successfully:

---

1. Let in natural light.

Natural sunlight is proven to increase productivity and alertness. It also contributes to a better mood, lessens anxiety, lowers depression, and helps produce more serotonin.

---

2. Get yourself ready.

You’ll find yourself to be most efficient and productive throughout the day if you shower, brush your teeth, and slip into something besides pajamas.

---

3. Fill your belly. Feed your brain.

You’ll feel more focused and alert with high-quality whole foods.

---

4. Make your go-to drink and treat yourself once in a while.

Lina shared how to make whipped iced coffee.

---

5. Check your emails first.

Unread emails can create unnecessary stress, so getting them out of the way allows you to focus on the bigger tasks at hand.

---

6. Work in chunks until you’re done.

You’re not in a traditional office space that requires occasional walking, so make sure you’re taking time to stretch and hydrate.

---

At the end of the day, remember to give yourself some grace.

It takes a great amount of discipline to work from home, and sometimes you just have to snuggle your baby on the couch or get down on the floor with your pup. As long as your work gets done, we think you’re doing a great job. 🤗
