Looking to Combat Stress and Fatigue While Working From Home? Set Some Boundaries

This doesn't necessarily have to be a formal office. It can be, of course, but if it's simply a desk in your bedroom or living room, that works, too. "What's important here is that the space is only used for working," Blankenheim said. "This way your brain knows when it's time to work and when it's time to relax at home."

A dedicated workspace also sets a boundary for family members or others you share a home with, letting them know that when you are in your workspace, you are working and therefore unavailable to them. "This helps them understand that your work area needs to be quiet and that their activities must take place in another space," Blankenheim said.
