Insights Mental Health in the times of Covid-19
- Define your working hours and stick to them
- Work in a space which is separate to your relaxation space if possible
- Set up your space as if you’re at work – not on the sofa or in bed
- Ration social media and the news, and stick to reliable sources
- Get in some exercise – walk around the block, do a home workout, run around the garden, find what works for you
- Make a list of all the things you’ve put off doing around the house – not only will they fill your time now, when measures are relaxed in future, you won’t have to fit these tasks in around more fun things!
