1 Set a schedule

One of the benefits of working remotely is that you can adjust your hours to suit your preferences and needs. However, this also means that you need to have some discipline and structure to avoid working too much or too little. Try to set a regular schedule that matches your peak productivity and energy levels, and stick to it as much as possible. This will help you create a clear distinction between work and personal time, and avoid the temptation to check your emails or tasks at odd hours. It will also help you communicate your availability and expectations to your colleagues, clients, and managers.

Una de los grandes aprendizajes de quienes trabajamos en casa especialmente cuando amamos lo que hacemos es delimitar los tiempos de escritorio no cayendo en la tentación de pasar largas horas, desordenar los horarios de comida, etc. Hay que definir un horario y descansos, que además sean socializados con nuestras familias y compa?eros de trabajo, de manera que nos ayuden a respetarlos. Es una invitación a tener estructura y respetarla y no tentarnos a seguir en el escritorio fuera del horario planteado para tomar reuniones, revisar el correo o terminar informes.

One can mark the schedule best suited to the customer's working timeframe irrespective of which time zone one is in. It gets the flexibility to plan things and make appropriate options, leading to work-life balance.

2 Create a workspace

Another way to separate work and home is to create a dedicated workspace that is comfortable, organized, and free of distractions. Ideally, you should have a separate room or area that you can close off when you're done working, but if that's not possible, you can use a corner of your living room, bedroom, or kitchen. The important thing is to make sure that your workspace has everything you need to work efficiently and effectively, such as a desk, a chair, a computer, a phone, and any other tools or equipment. You should also try to minimize any noise, clutter, or interruptions that might affect your concentration or professionalism.

Llevo a?os teletrabajabdo o teniendo jornadas híbridas y ciertamente una de las cosas que me ha contribuido y que también lo he visto en otras personas, es tener un espacio exclusivo y separado en nuestras viviendas para trabajar de manera de no mezclar nuestros espacios de descanso, comida o para compartir en familia con nuestras labores profesionales. Permite hacer una separación emocional, de manera de no sentirnos invadidos por nuestro trabajo y que la familia no se sienta invadida y asociamos espacios que tienen otra finalidad con tareas y objetivos profesionales incluso con lo que nos gusta y no de lo que hacemos.

3 Take breaks

Working remotely can sometimes make you feel isolated, bored, or burned out, especially if you're dealing with complex or stressful insurance cases. That's why it's essential to take regular breaks throughout the day to refresh your mind and body, and to connect with others. You can use your breaks to stretch, exercise, meditate, snack, read, listen to music, or do anything else that makes you happy and relaxed. You can also use your breaks to chat with your co-workers, friends, or family, either by phone, video call, or messaging. This will help you maintain your social and emotional well-being, and reduce the risk of loneliness or depression.

4 Set boundaries

One of the challenges of working remotely is that you might feel pressured to work longer or harder than you would in an office, either because you want to prove yourself, or because you don't want to disappoint your clients or managers. However, this can lead to overwork, stress, and burnout, which can affect your health, performance, and satisfaction. That's why it's important to set boundaries and limits on how much and when you work, and to communicate them clearly and assertively to others. You should also learn to say no to unreasonable requests or expectations, and to prioritize your most important and urgent tasks.

Setting boundaries begins with you. Nobody will do this for you. Understand the importance and the impact it has on your productivity and health. Set them and follow them to the later. This will help a big deal.

5 Seek support

Working remotely doesn't mean that you have to work alone or without any guidance or assistance. You can still seek support from your co-workers, managers, mentors, or other professionals in your insurance field, whenever you need it. You can use various online platforms and tools to collaborate, share, learn, and problem-solve with your team or network, and to keep up with the latest trends and developments in your industry. You can also seek support from your personal network, such as your family, friends, or community, if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or unhappy. They can offer you emotional, practical, or moral support, and help you cope with any challenges or difficulties.

6 Review and adjust

Working remotely is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it might require some trial and error to find the best way to balance your work and life. That's why it's important to review and adjust your remote work habits and strategies regularly, and to seek feedback from others. You can use various methods and tools to track and measure your productivity, efficiency, quality, and satisfaction, and to identify any areas of improvement or change. You can also ask for feedback from your clients, managers, co-workers, or mentors, and use it to enhance your skills, performance, or relationships. By reviewing and adjusting your remote work balance, you can ensure that you're meeting your professional and personal goals and needs.
