ATR Tip of The Week👇

5 techniques to manage stress when working remotely

> Practice mindfulness: I’ve found that incorporating mindfulness techniques such as meditation or deep breathing can help to reduce stress. I use Headspace daily.

> Exercise regularly: It’s a known fact that physical activity helps reduce stress so when sitting at your desk, make sure you’re moving your body throughout the day. Try a little desk stretch right now!

> Stay connected: Easier said than done, especially if you’re living the digital nomad life alongside working remotely but maintaining social connections with friends, family, and your colleagues always helps as a way to destress.

> Take breaks: Always. Always. Breaks help you prevent burnout and reduce stress levels overall. Don’t wait till you’re already too stressed, prevent it.

> Organise your tasks: Feeling overwhelmed sucks right? So break down your large tasks into manageable steps and prioritise them to reduce any feelings of overwhelm. My entire life is organised through Trello — it helps me to see the bigger picture and plan productively.
