Eating Better While Working At Home

I saw this article on Putting the “Work” Back Into “Freelance Worker” on Freelance Writing Jobs There was quite long list of ways to treat your home office more like a clock-in job (although you’ll still have to deal with the “I’m busy, it’s not like you have any REAL work, you work from home!”). Getting proper sleep and eating well are the major points for me. I tend to use my time well but just grab whatever’s around and eat while I work.

4. Eat well. It’s far too easy to hit 5 pm and realize you’ve been existing on cookies and ice cream. Don’t fall into the trap of neglecting your diet. Eat proper, healthy snacks, and take the time to eat lunch. Your blood sugar will thank you for it and you’ll be better equipped to work.

5. Take your lunch and breaks away from your desk. Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean that you have to chain yourself to your work. When you’ve done some work and need a break, get up. Go for a walk outside, head into another room, do something that is away from whatever you use as a home office. At lunch, resist the temptation to eat at your desk while you do a few things. You deserve to sit at your kitchen table and eat properly. Taking a proper break will make you less resentful about the work you have to do.

How do you keep healthy and energized at work?
