Working From Home Best Practices
During this period of recommended social distancing, many of us have found ourselves working from home, schooling from home, or just being home more often because of the current public health emergency. Spending more time at home makes it easy to break out of our normal daily routine. Snacks and meals are easier to reach, and the opportunity for some physical activity may be limited. Having your kids around more than usual may also feel different and could be stressful.
