Much before we were forced to stay indoors and work from home by a pandemic, the workforce jury was yet to decide on which is better- working from Office, or working from Home. When we say better, we obviously mean it in terms of productivity and work-life balance. If a report from Harvard Business Review article is to be believed, people who work from Home on the same schedule as Office, have the best productivity. When asked about the reason they mentioned a great deal of credit goes to the Office set up at Home which gives them the motivation to keep going. You can create the exact Office space at Home as you’d like it be with precise features that includes the furniture, surroundings, office desk, favourite corner and maybe a concentration-boosting space. We have listed down a couple of tips to setup a Home Office to boost productivity which you can apply in your routine. Build like a bird View this post on Instagram After our morning walk and my grateful exercises, it's time to start working. ☆ I'm so grateful for my peaceful work environment! A post shared by True Escape Discoveries (@true.escape.discoveries) on Dec 21, 2016 at 3:46pm PST If you have ever noticed a bird build her nest, you’d know how particular they are for privacy. They make their home in accordance with the degree of interaction they want with humans or animals. Similarly, it is relative for humans to be able to work in an absolutely peaceful environment or with a little interaction with others in the household. When working on setting up a Home Office, choose a space which is quieter and not close to the playing area, if not, choose a room with a door.

Sticky notes, a daily planner, a pen-stand with markers and pens should be enough. In case you happen to be someone whose work involves going through folders or a couple of documents daily, make sure you have just that one folder on the desk which you require for the day. Giving yourself that space to work is equivalent to giving yourself time to think.

If possible, align your work desk in a way that faces the green outside your window. That way, you can always work with a view. In case that’s not possible, bring in some greenery near your work desk. A Pothos or a low-maintenance plant like the Sansevieria is highly recommended. Not only do greens purify the environment around you, but they also give you a break from the visual monotony of the screen.

For example, here we have someone at work who loves her Pen stand so much so that she carries it back home every day. Choose a quirky diary, a coffee mug that suits your personality, even a pen that you love writing with, a laptop skin which you think makes it look the best- basically, anything that keeps you motivated and helps in concentration.

If you plan to get up from your seat make sure it ends up fulfilling a task, like putting clothes for laundry or making yourself a cup of tea. If cooking is included in your break, make sure your meal doesn’t take too long to prepare. Summarizing, your break should help your eyes get away from constant stress. Working from home can be fulfilling and challenging both. But just like proper office space, you deserve a Home Office that you look forward to working in every day. A little effort in setting up an office space at home encourages you to finish tasks dedicatedly. So go ahead and bring in that motivation factor to your home office and increase work productivity.

In this pandemic situation, the number of virtual celebrations has increased significantly. These virtual programs keep us connected and entertained. We see others and interact with them. Thus we know we are not alone in this fight. But organizing a virtual program needs a lot of planning. As a host, you have to take care of a lot of things. If you want to make your virtual celebration a success, follow the steps mentioned below: The occasion Depending on the occasion, the whole planning of a celebration is done. For birthdays we plan in a certain way; for festivals, we plan differently. So, the occasion plays one of the significant roles in the organization process. Everything you plan must go well with the occasion. On a Teacher’s day celebration program, if you play a party song, you can imagine the level of awkwardness. So, we should keep the occasion in mind and prepare accordingly. The naming Naming the program is another essential thing. Your selected name must be short, catchy, unique, and related to the occasion. Naming the program helps to keep everything organized. All your guests can save the program date with the program name. It also helps when you send the invitations. Just keep the name simple and trendy. List of participants When the naming is done, you have to list the name of the guests. The list must be made very carefully, as you don’t want to miss any potential participant. If the celebration is small and homely, you should invite all your close family members and relatives. If it is something like a birthday party, do not forget to invite the birthday boy or girls’ friends. Depending on the occasion, you should make the participant list. The platform Now comes the central part of a virtual program organization, selecting the platform. We have different platforms to select from. Here, the guest list comes handy. Depending on the number of participants, you have to choose the platform. You can select any from Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Skype. All of them are great for virtual celebrations. Zoom has gained a significant amount of popularity over the past few months. You can use it for a considerable number of guests. Yes! You can invite up to 1000 guests over Zoom in a meeting. Google Meet is another excellent platform, but the only disadvantage with this application is, you can only invite 150 people at a time. You have to give the meeting links to all the invited participants beforehand. Facebook, Whatsapp, FaceTime, and Skype are more personal platforms with more limited participants. On Whatsapp, you can invite a maximum of 8 people on a video chat, whereas, on FaceTime, you can add 20 people. So, depending on the number of invitees, you have to select your suitable platform. Distribution of duties You must form a team to distribute all the duties. If you want to manage everything by yourself, things can get messed up. Organizing and successfully conducting a virtual program is not one man’s job. So, select your team, distribute duties among them, and monitor everyone, so everything is done according to the plan. Suppose you plan to have a quiz on the program, pre-select the questions and head of teams. Thus you will successfully avoid future chaos. Planning of the programme A layout of the whole program should be made beforehand. Thus the program will have a timeline to follow, or else everything will be too scattered to manage. Time management is crucial for any virtual program. Setting ground rules You have to set a few ground rules for the program. These basic rules should be informed to all the guests. While listing the rules, avoid making any strict rule that can kill the party vibe. Some rules can be followed, like: Turning off the microphones while someone else is speaking.Giving everyone a chance to speak.Avoiding noisy backgrounds.Maintaining the decorum of the program.Smooth internet connection.Joining 10 minutes before the program starts. As a host, you must make sure everyone is informed about the rules and follows them. Sending invitations When you are set with all the plans and rules, you can send the invites to the guests. Invites must contain all the program's details, like the name of the program, the starting and ending time, the platform, the link, the activity list, the list of rules to be followed, and others. You can personally send the invitations to every individual, or form a group and send it there. The invitations must be attractive and informative. Organizing games You can organize different games on the program for better engagements. Simple card games or puzzle games can be played over virtual platforms. Playing games makes the program interactive and lively. Showcasing talent Virtual celebrations can be a platform to showcase one’s talent. If anyone wants to dance, recite, or sing in the program, they can perform. You have to enlist their names and allot specific time to each of the participants. Other activities The more activities you include in a program, the more interesting it becomes. You can organize a fun quiz and give the winners a prize. This will draw the attention of your invitees to the program instantly. Virtual gifts At the end of the program, you can send every participant virtual gifts for their patience and active participation. Gifts make everyone happy, and they will, for sure, join your next programs. Perfect ending Ending your celebration on a good note is very essential. You should prepare a concluding speech to thank everyone from the bottom of your heart. Thus, your guests will leave the program with a happy heart. So, these are the steps to make a virtual celebration successful. You must act like a leader and take things on your own hands and follow a pre-set schedule. Thus, all your guests will feel included and satisfied.

The much advocated initiatives of social seclusion, no doubt, give the best outcomes in fighting off the pandemic but they also bring slight changes in the routines as well, for all the family members present in the house. It is pretty natural to feel scared, anxious and curious which is definitely a natural and normal reaction to the state of crisis and uncertainty. In these times, children can quite often feel sad, confused, worried or afraid as well. They have too little experience and exposure than you and hence, fewer strategies are there to cope up with this ongoing crisis. So here are several recommendations that can help you organize and overcome the challenges of desolation more easily. Be it if you are an adult or a kid, just try the below mentioned points and start following it, you will see the difference it has created on your mental aspect. Master your time and day - introduce order into your daily core activities of life. Make plans for the entire week or the upcoming one too - involve each of your family members in your plans so that they can also feel some sense of secured atmosphere this way. Make it as per your lifestyle, i.e., make all the necessary changes from time to time and keep them all updated. Take extra care of yourself, especially given the current situation. Eat regularly but consume only a healthy and balanced diet and not that junkie course again and again. Exercise - work out in these times will definitely prove to be beneficial for one’s health point of view. Sleep well and enough - taking adequate sleep is too important for brain functionality and other factors. Reduce all other sources of stress or factors that can trigger anxiety in your life. Dedicate your time to activities that make you happy from within. {For instance, it might be listening to music for some people, and for others, it can be reading books or novels, playing indoor games and so on.} Spend your time on stuff that helps in improving your mood - it could be anything, like your hobbies (that may include reading, writing, listening to music, work out regime, watching flicks or web series) or something which you can develop like your skills to seek knowledge about a certain thing. Be proactive because this attitude gives you the power and control of the uncertainties of the situations. Also, taking care of yourself will not only help you stay healthy, fit and fine, it will also help you stay calm and composed and focused too so that you can adequately take care of your children. In such tough and challenging times, and those of crisis and stress, it is too common for children to seek more contact and to be more demanding towards their parents. When you try talking out to your kids about COVID-19 in an utmost honest and age appropriate manner, children, just like we adults, feel relaxed and a lot relieved too when they can freely express their emotions about something or the other or are able to share their fears and concerns or anything that is bothering them, with others. As it is quite often and repeatedly seen, children just follow their leads, so be the best suitable example. They totally observe the behaviour of adults and try adapting them in their day to day core activities. They also tend to understand their set of feelings or emotions so that they themselves can know how to manage their own feelings. This way you can try to be explicit with your own kids and explain to them about just everything. Help them find some positive ways of doing it and you will see the change. Try spending extra time out for your loved ones, especially your kids because it will keep them safer in terms of uncertainty. It will also help them process confusing information, get a bit closer with their parents and increase their capacities and skills for upcoming future challenges in life. Do not neglect your needs as a parent, especially if you are operating from your home, though this can be really challenging with your kids in your immediate surroundings. Set clear expectations from your children about when you can help them and when you would be just unavailable for them. Enter the activities you know your children can do completely on their own into the family schedule of activities, including watching shows that depict educational content over the television, or web series as well over the internet. Be patient with them and try to give them the maximum comfort until you anyhow manage to achieve it. Your kids might not accept it on an immediate basis, but they will eventually, with the passage of time, get used to all of this. You probably would not be as productive as usual either, but that is just simply fine, completely! You can just plan some time out only for yourself during the day, even if it is just half an hour. During this time, organize your kido’s time. There can be multiple ways in which we can just stay strong and determined while dealing with such a crisis. Just do not feel reluctant to seek the help of a medical professional (therapist) if you feel you do not manage to cope up with this stress, anxiety, fear or depressive state on your own. There are always numerous resources available where you can just simply get in touch with them to avoid the above mentioned factors. Taking care of your own being and mental state is as important as anything. Stay safe and cautious but never let all this overpower you mentally.

Propagating and cultivating good wellness practices is a beneficial facet to add to your daily regime. These practices may bring down some mental stress in your life and can lead you to live a happy and blissful life giving you a feel of happier days. Here are some of the practices that one can put their focus on. Proper Sleep Sleep has so many advantages that it offers us, and especially our bodies. It permits for brain processes to be unified, our bodies to be repaired, etc. Poor sleep patterns have been shown to be associated with heightened levels of anxiety and depression and a weaker immune system too. Sleep problems have been seen to be especially common, affecting more than 50% of individuals, with psychiatric disorders, such as ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety and many such issues. Especially during these tough and challenging times where these issues are of the utmost importance for each one of us, make sure you get ample sleep for yourself. This can be aided by lifestyle changes, drinking or smoking less, regular physical activity, creating good sleep hygiene or regimes, practicing relaxation techniques, and so on Gut Health Researchers for various branches in psychiatry have shown that the microbiomes in the gut leave an impact on different bodily functions which might include regulating mental states and sleep schedules. Stress, both emotional and physiological, on your body can affect these microorganisms in the gut which in turn can lead to a multitude of mental health disorders in your life. Therefore, taking care of your gut and stress levels to keep your mental health balanced and in check, be it by eating probiotics and prebiotic-rich foods, foods highly rich in fiber or omega-3 fatty acids, collagen boosting foods, or other methods your doctor has prescribed, all these are a must. Lists of these food groups can be found online on different websites. Before making big changes to your diet, consult your doctor or health care provider primarily. Silence Silence may not be something common in your household or maybe something you are generally used to. Whatever your living conditions are, finding some silence in your life can be good for your overall well being, be it mentally or emotionally. It can help lower your blood pressure, boost the immune system, decrease stress by lowering the blood cortisol levels and adrenaline in the body, promote good hormone regulation, etc. A study conducted in 2013 explicit that silence for two hours might produce new cells within the brain region which is connected to emotions, learning, and memory. Silence has also been seen to help your creativity levels, awareness, insomnia, and reflection. Some ways to engage in silence could be going for a walk in nature, remaining in bed for 5 additional minutes in the morning, and meditating and the list goes on. Community and Family Support A big part of being human is formation of relationships and connections. These connections successively will result in positives and negatives in one’s mental state. If you are feeling supported in these connections then a profit is seen, the other happens once you do not gain a way of support. Those who feel more connected to either their community, peers, and family show lower levels of anxiety and depression. In fact, they have higher levels of self-esteem, a greater sense of empathy in them and are more trusting of others. All this in turn can result in others feeling more supported and connected by you. This association will be laborious to seek out or nurture throughout COVID. While it may be impossible to see or touch your community, family, etc.,there are still innumerable ways to feel connected to them. Some ways to remain in touch during this time are to call them up, go for social distance walks or visits, and volunteer with different organizations. There are many different resources available. Look out for your favorite one and try reaching out to them in such a case. Profit of those resources and build those connections that may successively facilitate your mental state and wellness. In a review of approximately more than 150 studies, being connected, and having strong social relationships created a 50% increased likelihood of living longer. Movement With the exaggerated heat comes an increased desire to go outside and get moving. If this is what you currently feel or go through, then take action on your wants on an immediate basis. Movement and brain health are interconnected. With this being said, it has been proven that physical exercise is not more beneficial to the body but equally beneficial to the brain too. Engaging in regular physical exercise can boost your self-esteem, minimize anxiety and depression, reduce stress, improve moods, and enhance cognitive ability. In studies conducted by various institutions, it was demonstrated that going for 15-minute runs or 1-hour walks can reduce, by 26%, the risk of major depression. With this keeping in mind, take those outdoor walks, runs, or online exercise classes. Adversity Adversity in our lives can make us really stronger and sharper. This might be within the means we have a tendency to handle completely different situations or the means we have a tendency to get through numerous tasks. These hardships in our lives can allow us to have a realization of the good in our lives and make us happier afterward. It does the same for our mental wellbeing. While some adversity is nice, an excessive amount of it will cause an individual to be overwhelmed. When this happens, just do not forget to ask for any help. Be it from someone you are too close to, like your family, friends, or relatives, or a professional therapist. While these areas of focus do not seem to be in an exhaustive list, they are a place to begin. Take time to induce your mental state so as to cultivate smart practices. This way if there is ever a time where you feel overwhelmed, you will have some tools to help you.

February 4th every year is celebrated as World Cancer Day. While the whole idea behind assigning a day to honour those battling Cancer, and saving lives of million who are at a risk of developing one, this year’s theme mentions ‘I am, and I will’. According to WHO, 1 in 6th death every year is caused due to Cancer. People around the world may be aware of the condition, but along with awareness also comes certain myths and misconceptions that surround them. While a good number of researchers say that Cancer is curable to a certain extent, these myths make it difficult to control the increasing number of cases and deaths around Cancer. So, this World Cancer Day, let’s take a look at some misconceptions around Cancer and the fact behind them… 1. Biopsy accelerates the spread of Cancer Fact: As much as people consider biopsy to be an accelerating factor in the spread of Cancer, it is the only way for diagnosis. Removing or testing a tumour does not result in spread of Cancer, rather detect the rate at which it is growing. Just in case there is a slightest chance of you showing symptoms of Cancer, always go as your Physician suggests, and never hesitate to go for a biopsy. 2. Consuming sugar makes your condition worse There is not enough evidence to prove the sync between consumption of sugar and Cancer. In an informative post by National Cancer Institute, USA, it has been concluded that no form of sugar like Sachharin, Cyclamate, Sucralose or any other has any direct effect on spread of cells. Any cell in our body needs a form of energy to function, and this energy comes from any form of sugar. But giving more sugar to cancer cells do not make them grow faster, likewise depriving yourself of sugar will not result in slower growth of cancer cells. 3. Cancer is contagious. Time and again more healthcare bodies are coming forward to urge people to mingle with those fighting Cancer. You can’t catch Cancer by just touching someone or coming in close vicinity with the person. Rather, your support and enthusiasm may be really valuable to the person and family dealing with it. 4. A lump in breast is a sign of breast cancer. It is good to be aware and active for one’s health, but not always does a minor irregularity mean something as serious. A lump or node in the breast can be due to multiple reasons. However, it is always suggested you take a doctor’s opinion on the same, while also keeping a check on other symptoms. 5. Your hair will never be the same after Chemotherapy. It is true that a cancer patient subjected to Chemotherapy treatment tends to lose hair eventually resulting in going bald, but it does not remain the same always. Once the treatment stops, the hair starts showing growth and gets normal in a couple of years. It may also be right to say that the rate of your hair during recovery depends on a number of factors including your medications and side effects of the same. As someone who may have gone through so much, it is only little demanding of the system for you to have patience.
