This work from home the stage is not going to go away so easily, it has already had far decrementing effects on our work-life balance than having positive ones. (Many people might differ here, but it is for the majority of people who are still feeling overwhelmed with the work from home concept)
When the lockdown started, everyone was elated, we thought staying at home and working will be the perfect way to spend more time with our precious family members, finish some long-drawn projects that never saw the light of the day as we were so busy with our office work.
But come May, June and now even after we have stepped into August, we find ourselves riled up into the quick-sand called Work from Home. The long hours, no break time, no demarcation of leaving office and coming back home, sleeping patterns taking a hit, these are just a very small trailer of things yet to come (if not addressed effectively).
Now that it has been established that a lot of organizations have approved that a majority of their staff to work from home, we can easily estimate on the minimum side, that around 40-50% of office going workforce will be tucked in their homely abode until December 2020, and if things move the way they are moving, until further notice. Additionally, most organizations are looking at cutting down on the real estate expenditure to avoid paying rentals on their leased offices. Hence, for those employees who have been enabled to work at home, probably might not return to the office until very necessary.
Let’s look at how WFH has caused a change in our daily routines and led to the majority of us feeling burnt-out:
So are you feeling
burnt-out? Well looking at the above list, anyone will be!
The trick lies in saying NO at the right time when you are
right at the edge of saying YES!
We have instances where one would have felt like going that step ahead and would have said a ‘Yes’, just because they were unable to say ‘No’. It can be an instance in the office, or even for that matter at home, where your supervisor or family member asks you to complete a task. If you feel that the work can wait to see the next day’s light, please say ‘No’. You must understand this WFH situation will not go away tomorrow or day after, it is here to stay. If you burn-out, you will not be of any use to anyone, even for that matter, to yourself.
We all are worried about these times in the job market, where the employer holds an upper hand in keeping you or firing you. But believe me, when I say employers do not make irrational decisions, they know when an employee is genuinely trying to provide the best to the organization while pushing back at times to balance his\her work life.
In the WFH scenario, it has become imperative that you compartmentalize and prioritize your work to achieve the committed quality and timelines. Below are some basic guidelines you can follow to avoid burning out in the process of balancing office and home commitments:
As we all step into a #RenewedSociety which will see the emergence of Renewed Purpose, Renewed Focus, Renewed Vision, Renewed Bonds, and Renewed Urgency, we will also need to work harder. The trick is to strike the balance, and not burn out in the process.
The ball is now in your court… hit it or leave it, it is entirely up to you! But don’t quit the game…

Every working-person in their work span has heard about or come across the term ‘IDEATION
CENTRE or IDEATION ROOM’.
What does the
word IDEATION mean here? To a simple layman it means to ideate or to create an
idea which can be used by one’s company or the company one works for.
And when the
companies talk about ideation, they are looking at creativity, thoughtful ideas
that can solve a problem or resolve a challenge.
And there is a
universally accepted saying – that one gets maximum ideas or bright ideas on
the throne.
That brings me
to the poll of the day:
With the lockdown and WFH – work from home becoming the new normal, what is your IDEATION ROBE – a piece of clothing when worn makes you think about bright ideas, creative solutions, or simply inspires you to think about something new something different you would like to do today. Please give your answers in the comments below:
Let’s find an answer to the ‘Most Wanted Ideation Robe’ during the lockdown, coz that looks like the last thing you will wear for a LONG LONG TIME!
