Over the past seven months, remote working and schooling wreaked havoc on American households navigating the new pandemic reality. Many suddenly found themselves working remotely for the first time and feeling overwhelmed without their old in-office workday routines. At the end of the day, they didn’t feel satisfied with what they’d accomplished, regardless of running around “putting out fires” all day long. Sound familiar? You’re certainly not alone.
The good news? Rolling with the chaos isn’t your only option. Studies show that adopting healthy lifestyle routines can reduce stress and improve longevity by an average of 13 years. Even in these unusual times, you can create structure and establish habits to combat stress, work better, and give your brain a break.
