Here's how you can achieve work-life integration while working from home.

Stick to a consistent schedule, starting and ending your workday at the same time whenever possible. Inform your household of your work hours to minimize interruptions, and resist the urge to check work emails or take calls outside these times, ensuring you have time to recharge and focus on personal activities.

Work life integration can happen when you set clear expectations for yourself. There may be times when we need to spend and invest more time and effort and work and there may be times when the same applies at home. Looking beyond a 9-5 job and really investing in driving impact to your projects and teams can be a big differentiator.

Sin duda alguna saber diferenciar entre trabajo y vida personal es sumamente importante. Algo que impulso con mi Equipo de Trabajo es fijar una postura clara: a todos nos importa más lo que vive fuera de esta oficina; con base en esta premisa, hagamos nuestro trabajo de manera excepcional dentro del rango de tiempo correcto.

To balance work and life while working from home, set up a specific work area to signal when you're on and off the clock. Make a schedule for your day that includes work time, breaks, and personal activities. Let family or housemates know when you're working to minimize interruptions. Prioritize your tasks and use methods like the Pomodoro Technique to stay focused. Take regular breaks to recharge, and don't forget to include time for hobbies and relaxation. Stay flexible and adjust your schedule as needed to fit in personal commitments. Keep checking in with yourself to make sure you're feeling balanced and happy with how things are going.

Estabelecer limites claros entre vida profissional e pessoal é essencial para alcançar uma integração saudável enquanto trabalha em casa. Defina horários específicos para o trabalho e para o lazer, criando uma separação física e mental entre os dois. Isso pode incluir criar um espaço de trabalho dedicado em casa e definir horários fixos para iniciar e encerrar as atividades profissionais. Ao estabelecer esses limites, você poderá se concentrar melhor em suas tarefas profissionais durante o horário de trabalho e desfrutar de tempo de qualidade para si mesmo e para sua família fora desse período.

Designing daily routines that incorporate structured time for work, leisure, and personal activities can enhance productivity and well-being while working from home. Creating a schedule that aligns with your natural rhythms, breaks up tasks into manageable segments, and includes time for exercise, meals, and relaxation promotes consistency and efficiency throughout the day.

Como mencionei no artigo acima, mantenha o ritmo, mantenha a disciplina. Crie suas rotinas considerando os hábitos de seus familiares, quando em casa. Pense no quão importante é esse momento no qual você poderá mostrar aos seus filhos como é o seu trabalho e como é.importante desenvolvê-lo de maneira consistente. Será um aprendizado e tanto para eles.

En plus de la routine, il faut absolument prendre des moments de "mouvement" ! Sortir de son espace de travail, se lever, prendre l'aire, marché un peu afin d'aider le corps et le cerveau à rester focus.

La routine permet de marquer le début et la fin de son journée de travail comme si on partait au travail et on revenait le soir. Astuce également à adopter, c’est s’habiller comme on allait travailler et ne pas travailler dans son pyjama qui peut ralentir notre disposition mentale à être dans une posture (ou mode) travail.

I create and stick to a daily routine that helps me transition between work and personal time. I start my day with a morning ritual, such as exercising or enjoying a cup of green tea, to get in the right mindset. I set regular breaks throughout the day to stretch, refuel, and recharge. After work, I have a wind-down routine that helps me disconnect from work and enjoy my personal time.

Effectively managing tasks and priorities is key to maintaining focus and productivity in a remote work environment. Utilizing task management tools, setting clear goals and deadlines, and prioritizing tasks based on importance and urgency helps stay organized, on track, and proactive in addressing work demands while also allowing time for personal pursuits.

Trabalhar home office de forma adequada necessita de uma gestão de tarefas bem estabelecida. Para isso, é importante que as tarefas diárias da casa sejam executadas em momentos definidos. Estabeleça prioridades, deixando as tarefas profissionais concentradas nos horários em você sabe que tem mais foco. Alguns ferramentas digitais podem te auxiliar nessa divisão de tarefas. As palavras chaves são: organização e concentração.

L'utilisation d'un outil de gestion des priorités tel qu'un diagramme eisenhower permet de mieux gérer ses tâches et son temps.

L’organisation est l’une des clés de productivité. Qu’on travaille sur site ou à domicile, il faut s’organiser, lister ses tâches, les hiérarchiser selon leur degré d’urgence et d’importance. Ceci est plus important quand on travaille à distance afin de rester focus et de ne pas être sollicité par les taches de son foyer qui peuvent attendre la fin de sa journée de travail.

I use tools like Notion and Google Calendar to prioritize my tasks, set deadlines, and track my progress. I break down larger projects into smaller, manageable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. I also make sure to allocate time for personal commitments and hobbies, treating them with the same importance as work tasks.

He trabajado de forma independiente, al comienzo freelance , luego con mi propia empresa desde 1993. Hasta la pandemia tuve una oficina “fisica” luego virtual 100%. Mi vida laboral se ha desarrollado en un 80% desde la casa ; mis consultores y asociados pueden dar fe , reuniones puntuales en la oficina con consultores y candidatos. Hemos promovido el trabajo en casa ,balance de vida, prioridad por la familia, siendo a la vez consultores de grandes multinacionales como Microsoft, Jansen , Pepsico, HP (Compaq) Trabajamos con consultores seniors todos empoderados certificados, cada cual sabe lo que tiene que hacer ,las Directrices son claras, mucha calidad ,feedback y encuestas de satisfaccion para mejorar.

Communicating clearly and proactively with colleagues, supervisors, and clients fosters collaboration, transparency, and mutual understanding in a virtual work setting. Establishing regular check-ins, clarifying expectations, and leveraging digital communication platforms effectively facilitate smooth workflow and minimize misunderstandings or miscommunications.

Travailler à distance, implique la communication et la connexion avec les membres de son équipe sur site et plus encore son manager. Ceci nécessite des points réguliers et à la participation à des réunions pour être au même niveau d’information et coordonner les missions et tâches sur les projets en cours. Il faudra communiquer également son agenda à son manager et son équipe.

The communication can be greatly optimized, specially for women, when we focus on 4 specific things: Feelings, Needs, Desires and Problems. When you focus only on communicating one of these four things, without complementing it with anything else, such as, for example, what solution you see for resolving what you are communicating, you give space for the contribution of others, gain commitment and genuine attention, with a real desire of people to help and this also takes the burden of having to solve everything alone off your shoulders. I suggest trying it.

I maintain open and transparent communication with my team and manager. I share my availability, progress updates, and any challenges I'm facing. I also make sure to have regular check-ins and virtual chats to stay connected with my colleagues and maintain a sense of camaraderie, even when working remotely.

Embracing flexibility in how, when, and where work is performed enables adaptability and responsiveness to individual needs and preferences while working from home. Recognizing and accommodating personal rhythms, adjusting schedules as needed, and embracing alternative work arrangements promote autonomy and work-life balance in a remote environment.

Being truly flexible is the key: adapting your day to fit both professional and personal commitments is what makes working remotely so beneficial. For that, it’s important to have a clear understanding of your tasks and goals for the day/week so you can somewhat plan your days. Making time for family and for yourself will make you more satisfied and more productive at work.

Si su propósito de vida es claro puede alinearse fácilmente con sus prioridades , necesidades personales, familiares, de salud fisica y espiritual y objetivos de trabajo. Se pueden cambiar las prioridades, hay que ser extremadamente flexible, y con el tiempo uno aprende que no hay nada escrito en piedra…… primero sus valores, propósito, nunca negociarlos Cuando los hijos empiezan a ir al colegio, es muy fácil organizar un horario de acuerdo a SUS NECESIDADES, por ejemplo de 9 a 4 , a los clientes , jefes, hay que “ponerles limites “ en los horarios, siempre y cuando se Cumplan y excedan resultados, se de valor agregado, expectativas ,fechas y acuerdos, la flexibilidad en otras cosas como horario ,lugar de trabajo son aceptadas

La flexibilité est un soft skill indispensable pour tout professionnel. Savoir s’adapter à des situations notamment le travail à distance pour gérer ses tâches et missions et quand il y a urgence personnelle savoir les gérer également tout en restant professionnelle (en informant son manager par exemple).

One of the benefits of working from home is the flexibility it offers. I take advantage of this by adjusting my schedule when needed to accommodate personal commitments or to work during my most productive hours. If I have a doctor's appointment in the middle of the day, I plan my work around it and make up for the time later.

I make self-care a non-negotiable part of my routine. I set aside time for activities that promote my physical, mental, and emotional well-being, such as going for walks, practicing mindfulness, or pursuing a hobby. When I feel overwhelmed or stressed, I take a step back, practice deep breathing, and remind myself that it's okay to take breaks and prioritize my well-being.

Para logran integrar de manera efectiva la vida laboral y la personal cuando se trabaja desde casa es necesario saber delimitar cada una de las responsabilidades, partiendo de allí es posible hacer balance y establecer horarios de atención para cada una. Cuando trabajamos desde casa y a su vez cumplimos otros roles, debemos tener seriedad y responsabilidad para entender que trabajar en casa nos exige un nivel mayor de compromiso, en virtud de que somos responsables directos de la gestión del tiempo, si somo madres podemos aprovechar los horarios para que cumplamos con las metas establecidas sin afectar nuestro entorno personal.

Working from home. We are always working, either official or household chores not excluding picking up & dropping kids to school. To avoid burnout and have mental peace: - Behave just as if you step out to work. Get dressed and have a demarcated space for 'office'. - Avoid household chores while at work - If you are stepping out of home for errands don't make that a practise. It ruins the boundaries. - Once 'office' is closed avoid the laptop. These simple steps have helped me. I am sure each one of us can form our own such steps and follow it regimentally.
