Creating a routine and following it will help you plan what happens to you daily. When you create a routine, you can accomplish your work and your other home activities. It also helps you know which tasks should be prioritized at a specific time. That way, you can focus on one only instead of feeling overwhelmed and not knowing what to do first.
Another reason you may be experiencing WFH-related stress is that you still work even if it is past your working hours. Stop checking emails after your working hours. Now’s the time to focus on your home activities, such as doing chores or relaxing. Be comfortable saying no to your boss and workmates if they ask you to do work after your working hours.
