Working from home wellness tips

March 23rd, 2021

At Dawson, we are fortunate to have a variety of in-house expertise on so many topics. The Health and Safety Committee feels that it would be valuable to offer our colleagues tips for Working from Home Wellness. Until we all return to the College, we will be presenting these tips in D News.

Here is the first batch of tips from our Dawson colleague Michelle Mangal, Psychologist:

Routine tips:

  • A morning routine can help you distinguish a work day from a day off.
  • An after-work routine helps you separate work from your personal life. Leave the house, take a walk, do anything that gives you a cue that your work day is over.

Balancing your 鈥渉ave-to鈥檚鈥 and 鈥渨ant-to鈥檚鈥:

  • Make sure you have a balance between your 鈥渉ave to鈥檚鈥 and 鈥渨ant to鈥檚.鈥 鈥淗ave to鈥檚鈥 are responsibilities. Doing only 鈥渉ave-to鈥檚鈥 can lead to burn out. 鈥淲ant to鈥檚鈥 are self-care activities. When we only engage in 鈥渨ant to鈥檚鈥 without accomplishing our 鈥渉ave-to鈥檚鈥, we may feel bad.
  • Self-care is important fuel. Plan for your wellness, know how you will take care of yourself in advance, and make self-care part of your plan for the day.
  • Take control where you can, make your work environment pleasant, move around the home if possible or needed throughout the day.
