 Lockdown - The Inside life(Final Chapter) 

 This is third and the final chapter in the series of Lockdown the inside life where crucial points will be discussed with its best resolution as how to do things in the manner best suited to your comfort.
First let's discuss Work-life balance which refers to the time an individual allocates to work compared to the rest of life such as family, friends, personal interests and so on. Many of us struggle to achieve this at the best of times. Lockdown has thrown everyone’s work-life balance off-kilter and you need to get it back on an even keel. From single people or those living with their parents to housemates, couples and families, refinding a balance will be a very personal experience.

Now what to do list :-

Don’t expect to slip into a slick new routine. Be organised and it will make your working week much easier. This is especially important if you have a family.

A schedule creates boundaries to define your working day. It doesn’t have to be regular office hours, but if you’re not careful you’ll be dipping in and out of work 24/7.

Lockdown rules allow for one brief period of outdoor exercise a day, so make the most of it. Apart from the obvious physical health benefits, recent studies have also found that exercise lifts your mood and helps depression and anxiety.

It’s hard not to be tempted to finish off a few things in the evening. There are, however, simple ways to disconnect. You used to clock off at a set time and travel home from work—now you need another evening ritual.

Use dinner as a natural cut-off point. This works for all as try finishing before supper every work.

If you can’t see your work laptop and phone, you’re much less likely to reach for them. So hide your tech.

If you arrange a Whatsapp call at, say, 5pm, this gives you a deadline to finish your work tasks. A chat with family or friends will quickly switch your brain from work to play mode.

To make a distinction between work and play, replace your evening commute with a walk.

If you have something to look forward to in the evening, you’re much more likely to switch off your computer at a decent time. Online classes and courses are having a moment, from photography to pottery, cooking to karate, and many are free, too.

Talk through your working day with your partner to clear your head. Ask each other about how the day was. Just because neither of you left the house, there’s still a whole world of work that’s going on for each of you.

Treat weekends differently, which means definitely no work! Relax and treat yourself. Most of all, make them fun.

If possible, physically separate work from the rest of your home life.

Being together 24/7 under exceptionally stressful circumstances can put a lot of pressure on a relationship. The key is what you do with those emotions. Difficult feelings that are stirring inside have to go somewhere. Some people internalise them in the form of self-criticism, and others look for someone else to blame. Relationships that are suffering during lockdown are those in which people are landing their anger onto partners in the form of criticism.

For relationships to survive this, people need to be mindful of each other. If you are feeling low, name that feeling to yourself or a good listener rather than just acting it out in blame.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in your own work, but you need to support each other.

I hope these remedies will prove fruitful to you that's all from lockdown the inside life.. Take care.
