While working from home, you must have a healthy food chart.
Why?
Because you won’t be able to maintain your calorie intake without that. You burn less calory while working from home.
That’s why you need to consume fewer calories while working from home.
Junk foods are really bad for you at this time. They have very high calory in it. Just stay away from it.
You can easily maintain your health by consuming fresh vegetables and fruits in place of junk foods.
You can also keep these items handy with you as healthy snacks & meals.

Now let’s talk about the dress you choose while working from home. Of course, one of the best perks while working from home is no dress code.
Night pajamas are not an ideal dress while working from home. I will advise you to bear real office clothes.
Two reasons to back my advise:
- Your real cloths will keep you aware of weight gain.
- You will feel extra motivated while working.
You can skip your shoes if you like.
7. Fix login & logout time for work-life balance.

I am a big fan of the Work-Life balance concept.
We all earn money to improve our lifestyle and support our family. Working from home will not make any sense if you do not pay attention to your Work-Life balance.
Your company will always ask more from you.
Your client will always be in a hurry.
Your colleagues will always be in a race against you.
But,
It’s you who has to decide a time limit for your work. Just make sure to log in and logout at a fixed time.
It will help you allocate your time for yourself and your family. You will get proper Work-Life balance.
