3 Ways to Improve Your Home Office
Pre-pandemic, working from home seemed like a foreign idea to most people. It’s an idea we’re not very much familiar with - something that is not so much as inconceivable but an idea that more or less begs the questions “why” and “how”. We have been institutionally and traditionally programmed that work is meant to be done at the office. Then, not so many months ago (although feels like forever, to be honest), COVID-19 happened and we’re now navigating the “new normal”. Suddenly, the questions “why” and “how” should we work from home have been answered. Why - obviously, companies want to curb the spread of the virus and a hundred different people using the same office elevator daily isn’t exactly a good way to do that. How - except for some very specific jobs that require onsite presence (e.g. manufacturing, production, etc), majority of companies have found a way to successfully transition their employees to working from home. Working from home isn’t just a concept or an idea anymore, it has now become a reality for most of us. One of the requirements of this reality is having our “home office” - a place where we spend the majority of our day to accomplish work. If you already have a home office setup or you’re still in the process of making one, here are some tips to get you going: Location, location, location Just because you’re working from home doesn’t mean you should make every place in your house your work space. For your sanity and overall well-being, try to separate your workspace from the rest of your home activities. If you have the space, having a separate room dedicated as your home office is a good idea. It can still give you the feeling of “going to work”, minus the morning rush hour and commute. If you don’t have a spare room, a dedicated space or a corner in your place where you can be undisturbed is good enough for a home office space. It would be good if your space has lots of natural light, but if none, make sure to provide for adequate lighting. Bringing your laptop in the kitchen counter while you wait for your food to cook is okay, but as much as possible try to separate these activities so it doesn’t bleed into each other and you lose focus on the tasks you’re doing. Invest in the right tools and equipment You’re spending at least 8 hrs of your entire day in your home office - that’s more than enough reason to invest in items that will make your life easier and more comfortable. Investing in a sturdy, non-wobbly table is always a good idea because you don’t want to feel as if there is an earthquake while you type away your important report, right? As you will be sitting for long periods, investing in an ergonomic chair that supports your back is also recommended for better posture. Working on your laptop may also cause eye strain and stiff neck - you can try investing in a laptop stand to raise your monitor to eye level and getting an external mouse and keyboard as well. Making sure that all necessary items and gadgets are within reach like printers, papers, headphones (or coffee machine, anyone?), etc. will save you time and effort throughout the day. Having an excellent internet connection is an important, if not the most important component in making sure that your work-from-home life is smooth. Stressing over intermittent connection isn’t exactly anyone’s definition of smooth. Make sure that your internet provider is steady and reliable - investing in signal boosting gadgets may also work. If you have the space and the will for it, try putting indoor plants in your home office, too. They can help purify the air and counter irritants at the same time give you that much needed dash of green. Take disciplined breaks One common misconception about working from home is you constantly have to prove you’re working. Don’t panic if the last message on Slack for you was sent five minutes ago and you haven’t replied yet. You can’t be expected to be glued to your screen the entire office hours and you shouldn’t expect that from your workmates either. You’re entitled to breaks when you’re working in the office - what’s stopping you from taking the same breaks at home? One surefire way to get fed up with something is to keep on doing it over and over to the point of saturation. No matter how much you love coding, or writing and no matter how nice, light and airy your home office is, you’re going to be sick of it if you don’t step away from it from time to time. Schedule “disciplined” breaks throughout the day - that is to make sure that you strike a balance between just taking a break to clear your head and taking 1-hr Netflix breaks on the couch. Impose a “strictly-no-checking-of-laptop” day during the weekend to give you the mental space to draw a line between working and your actual life. Working from home and having a home office is meant to keep you safe from the virus while still being employed, it’s not meant to take over your life. You must be thinking “Why should I go through so much trouble for all these when this setup is temporary?”. While this sentiment is valid and may very well be true for some people, investing in a fully functional home office isn’t just good for your 9-5 job. It can also be a space in your house that you can dedicate for creating things, personal plans and projects. A place where you can sit down, bury your head in a project you’re personally passionate about. It might even give birth to that side hustle you’ve always wanted to do! No matter what or how you feel towards working from home, whether you’re living for it or you’re vehemently against it, there is no denying that for some people, it might just be the way moving forward, pandemic or not. Make the most of the opportunity while it’s here. Who knows? You might be positively surprised where it ends up taking you.

6 Unconventional Tips for Decreasing Screen Time
There’s no denying that screens, whether mobile phone or TV/computer screens, are already a huge part of peoples’ lives. You use it from the moment you wake until you tuck yourselves in for the night. You use it to connect, to enjoy, to be productive and to be always on the go. However, amidst these wonderful things that your screens provide for you, there’s a downside. Constant use of social media was actually proven to have a connection to a person's decreased well being. Whether you know it or not, you go into a social comparison. Because you only see other peoples’ lives as told by their social media timeline, you tend to believe that their life is so much better, and way cooler than yours. But this shouldn’t be the case. No matter how much you think you depend on our phone for everything, today is always a good time to start “unplugging” and decreasing your screen time, and for good reason. There’s growing evidence that decreased screen time leads to improved physical health, enhanced mood and better relationships. So how can you decrease your screen time? Here are some unconventional tips for you to try: 1. Know your “why” There’s a very good reason why you’re here reading this along with multiple tabs in your browser that tell you how harmful uncontrolled screen time is. Whether you have trouble sleeping, you’re developing anxiety, you’re fatigued or you over all do not feel well, that’s your “why” and that’s important. Know it and take it to heart because it will help you stay on track. Everytime you feel the urge to grab your phone and mindlessly browse your social media accounts, your “why” will be a powerful reminder to keep your focus amidst distractions. 2. Use your phone against it Use the settings on your phone to set a time limit on how much you use it and the specific apps that are in it. If you’ve used all the time you’re allowed for the day, put it down. Start with a number that seems doable for you, then very slowly decrease it as you develop the habit of spending time away from your phone. Don’t you always say you’re going to just “quickly check” Facebook and before you know it you’ve fallen very deep down the rabbit hole of YouTube videos. Turn off all notifications! Hearing that “ding” is enough to send you spiraling down and checking everything else. If you must, only switch on notifications from very important people. While you’re at it, it would be good to tell people that you might only be able to respond until a certain time of the day because you have a life outside of your social media accounts. 3. Share the struggle (and the wins) Difficult things become easier when you do it with someone, right? Like working out or dieting, it’s always easier when there’s someone who’s on the same journey with you. They make you accountable for your actions and nudge you along when you feel stuck with nowhere to go. A partner, a friend or a family member who shares your “why” and knows your struggle would be a good partner to share your wins as well. 4. Options, options, options! Most often than not, you grab your phone and tinker with it because you feel like you don’t have anything else to do. How many times have you watched an episode of a series you’re into while waiting in line or while riding public transport? The thing is, that’s not true! This generation is big on options and that goes true for almost everything, including killing time. Try reading a book while waiting in line, or listening to a podcast to give your eyes a break. Stuck at home like most of us are in this pandemic? Try out a new hobby, work out, grow a garden, play a sport, bake cookies, organize your closet, clean out your garage, and when the pandemic is over, spend time with friends and talk to them! The possibilities are endless, you just have to acknowledge them. 5. Don’t “capture” the moment, live in it How many times have you watched a concert and got annoyed at those screens waving in front of your face? While it’s totally understandable to want to have a memory of an event that you can look back to, won’t it be better if that memory is embedded in your mind complete with all the small details that you may have missed because you’re too busy adjusting exposure? It’s not to say you shouldn’t take photos or videos because that’s totally fine! It only becomes a problem when you become too focused on your screen and the 1000 photos you took from different angles, instead of what’s right in front of you. Never be too preoccupied preserving the moment that you become too busy to live it. 6. Going old school won’t hurt Mobile phones are popular because they don’t just allow you to call and message someone, they also allow you to do a whole lot of other things! However, this multi functionality is what gets you hooked. You use your phones for almost everything you need that you can’t get it off your hands anymore. How about you stop using your phone to do things that you have “real” things for? Using a real clock for an alarm clock will stop you from checking your phone the moment you wake up. Using your once discarded kitchen timer when you’re cooking will discourage you from browsing mindlessly on the kitchen counter while you wait for your food to cook. Try reading an actual book instead of using an ebook reader so your eyes can get a little rest. This way, you can break the habit of being too dependent on your phone to the point of almost feeling naked without it. Doing these unconventional tips may help you decrease your screen time to a healthy amount. Technology is designed with the goal of improving the way you live your life and not reduce its quality, so it’s good to use it and keep it that way. The key is finding the balance between having onscreen and off screen activities. Try it for yourself, and see what happens.

3 Ways to Improve Your Sleep
Whoever said “sleep is for the weak” is not only downright lying, they’re delusional. A healthy amount of sleep plays a huge role in promoting and maintaining a person’s good health and overall well being. How active, alert and productive you are during your waking hours is partly determined by the quality of sleep that you get. A good night’s sleep will help you be happier and more focused, while the lack of it makes you less motivated and impulsive. While you sleep, your brain stores new information you learned during the day, improving your memory. Your body repairs damaged cells and restores lost energy, making you ready for another day. Imagine all these important biological processes not happening because you’re not getting enough sleep? In addition, lack of adequate sleep is linked to several serious health conditions such as obesity, heart disease and depression. Yikes! Now that you know how important sleep is to your health, why don’t you give your body some well deserved zzz’s tonight? We’ve listed down some tips to help you get a good night snooze: BEDROOM = OASIS Make your bedroom into your own personal oasis - a place where you go to rest, recoup and re-energize for the next day’s battles. Now that more and more people are working from home, it’s so easy to just get your laptop and work right at your bed! While this may seem gratifyingly rewarding and harmless the moment you’re doing it, it may not be doing you and your sleeping habits a favor in the long run. Your brain has a different conditioning for when you’re working and for when you’re sleeping. If you mix the spaces where you do these two distinct activities, your brain will be confused. Instead of your brain associating the comfort and warmth of your bed to sleep and rest, it may associate it with the focus and alertness required when you’re working, making it difficult to power down. As much as possible, and to encourage a better quality of sleep for you, try to remove all work-related materials such as computers and laptops out of the bedroom, so you can increase your mental association between your bedroom and sleeping. Invest in sleep inducing bedroom essentials! Part of #adulting is being attuned to self-care, and getting a good quality pillow with a good quality mattress from your trusty shop is one of the first steps. Grab a relaxing sleep essential oil while you’re in there too. SLEEP WHEN YOU’RE TIRED How many times have you gone to bed and just frustratingly rolled over several times because you can’t snooze off? Try sleeping for about 20 to 30 minutes and if you’re still up without any sign of dozing off soon, try doing something else like folding the laundry or reading a book so you can give your brain the space to calm down. Before going to bed, you can also try having hot tea or a nice warm shower to ready yourself for a nice slumber. Try, with as much self control as you possibly can, not to check your phone or watch TV because these screens will only excite your brain more, not relax it. Also, try not to look at your bedroom clock when you can’t sleep, it will only make sleeping harder and more stressful for you. MAKE SLEEP A PRIORITY You’ve gotten so accustomed to doing things non-stop that most of the time while you carefully plan your priorities and the way you approach things, you forget to include time to rest and sleep. You tend to think you’re invincible and you can just go on and on without resting. Newsflash, you’re not and no one else is. You need to acknowledge the fact that even if you are oozing with so much youth and energy during the day, you also need to power down and at some point, hit the sack. Incorporate sleep as part of your schedule and try to stick to it as much as you can. Dedicate 8 hrs every day for sleeping and try to go to bed around the same to reinforce the body’s sleep-wake cycle. Also, the next time you’re planning or working on something, may it be a big project or an event, make sure to set aside time to rest and sleep. While pulling an all-nighter seems to be the most viable option to finish a project, doing it often will only make you more unproductive, not to mention more prone to diseases, in the long run. Sleep, although a bit underrated because it’s “boring”, has a whole plethora of benefits that shouldn’t be overlooked. If you have tried the tips mentioned above and nothing seems to improve your sleep quality, try consulting with a sleep doctor to check what other changes you need to do to make you sleep better. The quality of your sleep is almost just as important as the quantity of it. If you’re sleeping for 7 hours but you wake up several times during the night, try reevaluating your sleeping habits and patterns and effecting change. Your body will thank you for it. It’s almost a cliche to say to take good care of your body because you’re only getting one in this lifetime, but the truth is, you really should. So no, sleep isn’t for the weak, in fact, it’s only done by the strong. Hero Image by Alexandra Gorn on Unsplash.

3 Habits to Improve Your Reaction Time
Reaction time is defined as the amount of time it takes for a person to detect, process and respond to a certain stimulus. The faster your reaction time is, the better chances you have of getting your desired outcome out of a situation. How fast one person’s reaction time is may differ from another because it depends on several factors. The ability of the senses to see, hear and feel the stimulus clearly and the ability of the brain to process and make sense of the information received are essential components to having a shorter reaction time. In addition, the ability of the body to physically respond to a stimulus is crucial as well. It can’t all just happen in your head, you have to move. While reaction time may seem similar to “reflex”, it’s actually not. The difference lies in the intentionality of each action - reaction being voluntary, while reflex being involuntary. Does it matter? Absolutely! Whether you’re playing a physical sport, an online game or just basically doing everyday mundane things, your reaction time plays a huge role in getting you from one end of a situation to the other. Imagine a runner getting ready for a marathon - he’s at the starting line and he hears the gun signaling the runners to start. He hears the stimulus (the sound of the gun), his mind processes that it’s the start of the race, and he signals his legs to get moving. The faster his reaction time is, the sooner he’s off to start. In addition, the difference between surviving and not surviving a life-threatening situation is only a matter of milliseconds. The quicker you're able to react, the better your chances are of survival. Although reaction time inevitably increases as you age, there are ways that you can do to decrease it. Whether you want to decrease your reaction time in sports or in your usual everyday life, we’ve rounded out some tips to help you get started: Practice makes perfect This might be the most overused saying of all time, but you know that it’s true. And although “perfection” seems a tad extreme as a goal, practice really does wonders to decrease your reaction time. Although this tip mostly applies to situations that you can recreate over and over like training for sports or online gaming, the skills that you acquire in the process can also help you in other life situations. Familiarizing yourself with what you’re supposed to do increases your brain’s ability to process the stimulus. Slower reaction time is associated with prior experience and the more exposed you are to a certain situation, the faster you can react. If you’re training for a sport, try doing a basic technique and then making it more complicated as you go along. The more scenarios you are exposed to, the better you will become in processing unforeseen situations. Also, make sure to warm up as warmth helps the muscles react faster. Rest and Relax If you’re feeling tense, your muscles have a tendency to be tensed and rigid as well. Tensed muscles will be more difficult to move and will definitely add to your response time. Build a habit of relaxation in your routine. Try setting aside a specific time in a day to meditate - it can be as soon as you wake up or right before you go to bed. Dedicate an undisturbed few minutes when you can quiet down, center your thoughts and calm your mind. A lot of meditation apps are available with so many resources that you can choose from. You can also try doing yoga as a way relax. Making sure that you have enough rest and sleep can also help decrease your response time. Obviously, how can you expect to react faster if you can’t even keep your eyes open? A good 7 to 8 hrs of sleep a night will most certainly do your response time, and your body a favor. Do some brain exercises Reaction time has a lot to with brain function so it goes without saying that a well performing brain leads to a faster response time. Giving that think tank a good exercise improves your memory, increases your focus and makes you more alert - especially when you need it the most. Have some downtime while waiting for the last load of laundry to finish? How about grabbing some old fashion puzzles and putting them together? Or maybe playing solitaire on actual playing cards and not on your phone or computer? Chewing gum is also an effective cognitive activity. Studies show that it increases alertness, reduces occupational stress and sustains attention performance. You can also try changing up some of your routines and finding ways to improve them. Trying a new route to work, taking a dance class, and learning how to cook are good ways to start. In conclusion, your reaction time can spell the difference between winning and losing, or sometimes even life and death. While we take every ounce of reasonable precaution and avoid situations that endanger our lives and that of others, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Doing the above mentioned tips will help you improve your reaction time so that when it matters, you can be better and do better. Hero Image by My Life Journal on Unsplash.

How to Grow Your Indoor Plants
One of the most fundamental things we are taught since childhood is that the oxygen we need to breathe and live comes from plants. Not only are plants a necessity, they can also be beneficial in improving our overall quality of life. Some indoor plants can act as natural purifiers to counter air irritants caused by household items like carpets, cleaners and printer inks. Other varieties can even help restore moisture in your room and help you with allergies! Thinking of getting one for your place? We’ve rounded up some tips to help get you started. Know which indoor plant is best for you We all have that one friend (or maybe even us at some point) who tried growing an indoor plant and failed miserably. The first step to successfully growing an indoor plant is knowing which type works best for you. The rate at which plants grow is affected by a lot of factors such as light, temperature, nutrition, soil and water. Getting an indoor plant without researching and considering these factors first is just setting yourself up to fail. And we don’t want that! If you live in an apartment building with limited space, these factors are pretty much set already, and it will be best if you choose a plant that’s known to thrive in an environment you already have. Does your place have limited sunlight? Are you too busy and only have a few minutes to spare in a day? Try getting a Snake or Spider plant as these varieties are very low maintenance and can survive with minimal attention. If you’re lucky, your Spider Plant will sprout spiderettes, which you can repot to grow more Spider Plants! Ready, Set, Shop! When you’ve decided which type works best for you, it’s time to shop for the essential supplies like pots, soil, and fertilizers! Before you worry about how expensive this new hobby is going to be, you have to understand that it all depends on you. Pro tip, start with the most basic items first and work your way up as you go along. For the pots, make sure to choose one that has good material, drainage capacity, and most importantly, fits your plant and the space where you intend to put it. For the soil, determine which type of soil works best for your plant. Your local garden supply store should be able to help you with this. Finally, fertilizer. In order for your indoor plant to keep growing and thriving, they need fertilizer. You don’t need to buy this, you can make an organic one at home using banana peels! Join a community of indoor plant enthusiasts With social media being all around us, you’ll be surprised at how many other people out there share the same interests as you do - love of indoor plants included! You might pick up a tip or two from these communities on how to better care for your indoor plants or troubleshoot problems and concerns they may have already dealt with in the past. Who knows, you can even trade to grow your indoor garden collection! Growing indoor plants is not only beneficial to your physical health, it can also do wonders to your emotional and psychological health. Seeing and keeping them alive and thriving can give you a sense of accomplishment and purpose, which can make you excited and enthusiastic. So go ahead, make your indoor garden happen today.

Zoom Fatigue: What is it and what can you to do to ease it?
Over the last 6 months of this “new normal”, many of us have transitioned to working and/or studying in the comforts of their homes. Part and parcel of this transition is the continuous exposure to what has become a common household name that is “zoom”. Zoom, although only one of the many video conferencing softwares in the market, has gained popularity as the video conferencing choice of many because of its accessibility and abundance in features. How many minutes did you spend choosing the perfect virtual background? Whether you’re working or studying at home, did you ever feel that you’re more exhausted than you were when you were in your office/school? If your answer is yes, join the club because you’re not alone. Countless hours spent in front of your laptop or phone, either watching webinars or attending meetings, is not only physically exhausting, it can also be mentally draining. With more and more people experiencing “zoom fatigue”, let’s try to break down why it happens and what you should do to get your energy (and sanity) back. Why is it draining? National Geographic explains that since humans communicate through a mix of verbal and non verbal cues, and most often non verbal cues like eye contact, hand gestures, and other subtle body languages are not entirely expressed and understood through a zoom meeting, it makes the process harder than it’s supposed to. These nonverbal cues help emphasize your point, however, they don’t always translate well on video calls, making you exert more effort, therefore making you more tired. Being on a zoom meeting requires that you’re properly dressed, at least from the waist up, and in a well lit area. Add this preparation and effort to the number of zoom calls you have to have in a week and multiply with the number of times you’ve had to troubleshoot because someone can’t find the unmute button, well you get the idea. Help! How do you ease zoom fatigue? You’re tired because being on video calls requires you to exert more energy in getting your point across. Since speaking louder or doing bigger gestures might be unavoidable if you want the people on screen to understand your presentation, what other things can you do to ease zoom fatigue? 1. Avoid Multitasking Admit it or not, we’re all guilty of this at some point. Multitasking is something we enjoy, it’s something we’re proud of! Doing and accomplishing multiple things at the same time makes our adrenalines pump, our prides swell and our brains run. Ask yourself how many times have you checked your email while in a zoom meeting? Or how many times did you check your social media account while someone else is presenting? Harvard Business Review relates that in fact, multitasking while you are on your zoom meeting can make you less productive. Because your brain is scattered and working on a lot of different things, you tend to lose focus. When you don’t get to finish a task on time, you have to keep working on it making the process inefficient. No matter how much of a superhero we think we are, our multitasking abilities have limits too. 2. Take a break and stretch Wherever you are, whether in the office, school or at home, you need to rest and recharge. Not because you’re working at home doesn't mean you constantly have to work all the time. Breaks are there for a reason, so use them and thank yourself later. As much as you can, try not to schedule your meetings one after the other, or else you won’t just be physically drained, you also won’t be able to perform at your best mentally . A 20 to 30-min gap in between meetings should be enough to allow you to stretch your tired muscles and eyes for a little bit. Take a break so you can reload, recharge and ready your mental guns for the next battle. 3. Switch to emails and phone calls How many meetings have you attended while thinking to yourself “this could have been discussed in an email”? Now that you know how annoying that feels, the next time you’re setting up a zoom meeting, ask yourself the most important question of all: is a meeting really needed for this? Do yourself, and the rest of the meeting attendees, a favor and make sure that all things requisite for a productive meeting are there before you actually set it up. Also, whoever said phone calls aren’t a thing anymore? If it’s a one-on-one meeting, just have a phone call, not all meetings need to be on video! A phone call will allow you to be more relaxed, concentrating your efforts and energy to your volume and intonation instead. 4. Build boundaries Not because you’re at home doesn’t mean you constantly have to keep working. Repeat that three times until you’ve internalized it. Majority of people at home have this flawed mentality that they constantly have to prove they’re working and not just sitting around binging on Netflix and chips. Long hours doesn’t always translate to productivity in the same manner that longer meetings doesn’t mean more work is accomplished. In fact, the shorter the meeting, the better. Concise and direct-to-the-point meetings should be the standard, especially for zoom meetings. There is a reason why meetings have time limits, so stick to it. Set the boundaries and expectations and very respectfully make sure that everyone is aware. Zoom meetings are already part of our routine, there is no denying that. It is an amazing thing because even in this situation, it allows us to continue being employed, it gives us the platform to study and connect with people and get things done! It’s now up to you to set the limits and take control of the platform and make it something that will help you make things happen.
