In a scenario like this, there is no help that anyone can draw from past experiences. Things haven’t been like this ever and none of our friends, colleagues or seniors has survived a pandemic before. To keep life going, to keep earning the bread, one has to work. And now, work from home. Everyday life went for a toss and no one had any clue how to feel these emotions, live locked down at home, and still keep working. Not surprisingly in retrospect, health was inevitably affected on a mass scale, along with sleep schedules going here and there. Laziness has taken over the mindsets, leaving next to no space for physical activities, workout or exercises. Not even the fittest sportsmen could keep themselves in shape and physically fit, let alone the people who got up and got to work for ten hours every day. If you’re reading this, high chances are that you belong to the latter lot.
So, what can you do about it ? Here are a few things I found helpful, here we go.
1. Plan Your Snack and Meal Times
Exactly like one plans the rest of the day, try and plan your meal and snack times. Know and follow at what time are you going to eat. Don’t treat food as something which you can get right away from the kitchen. Rathe, plan and eat food like you would if you were in the office. This will help you minimize your cravings and give in to the comfort and temptations of just getting up and eating whatever you like because you are at home. Just like you try to work as if you were in the office, eat like the same.
2. Make sure you actually eat
