For some DFW commuters, working from home may look enviable. You get to sleep late, stay in your jammies, plug in or tune out whenever you want and, well, stay home. When work-from-home becomes a requirement, though, stress can move in, too, experts say.
Distractions at home appear everywhere, creating strains you don’t typically find in, say, your office at a Fortune 500 company, of which the Metroplex boasts one of the nation’s highest concentration—all within easy proximity of new Lennar homes.
Fortunately, Lennar builds homes designed for today’s already-stressed-out families. Lennar communities in highly desirable locations are filled with amenities that add even more comfort. Moreover, Everything’s Included® in Lennar’s new homes, a homebuilding signature that removes the last of any homeownership worries.
Taking heed of Dolly Parton, who once said, “Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life,” Lennar offers some tips to ease the strains of working from home:
Structure: Just as you’d create a family budget, make a worksheet that not only maximizes time management but offers a contract for yourself with an hour-by-hour schedule.
Scheduling: Figure out the time when you’re most productive, then stop. Unplug, play, exercise, spend time with the family.
Stay connected: Work-at-homers can feel isolated. Take advantage of Lennar’s open-concept designs. Those generous gathering spaces are ideal for making scrapbooks together or for jigsaw puzzles or simply to relax. Likewise, stay in touch with coworkers and friends, zooming in on anything that isn’t work-related.
Create: Turn off devices and be you. Why let the internet be filled with things everyone else is making, when you can unleash your creativity? Write that book, story or memoir you’ve always wanted to write, dip into watercolors, or dance like no one’s watching.
Go easy on yourself: Working from home isn’t for everybody. Recognize that and, surprisingly, you’ll soon settle into a comfortable routine.
