For many of us, it’s a dream to work from home. We can work in our sweat pants at any time of the day. We can take a walk around the neighborhood. We can eat lunch anytime we want.

With the global pandemic, this became a reality. Some people love to work from home, while others think the jury is still out.

Juggling the demands of working from home can weigh on us and increase our stress levels.

  • increased mental distance or feelings of cynicism related to one’s job
  • reduced professional efficacy

If that definition has too many buzzwords, you can learn about the six signs of overworking.

Here are five ways you can fight burnout while working from home.

1. Develop a daily routine
