Time-management tips for working remotely, from author Laura Vanderkam - Business Insider

At the moment, when many of us are practicing social distancing and living most of our lives online, those after-work activities might be virtual. But at least you'll have a hard stop on work.

And even a virtual knitting meetup, or a Zoom happy hour with friends, or a visit to your favorite museum from your couch will consume enough energy and attention so that it's harder to think about work. are critical to your ability to focus and think creatively, just like they are to an athlete's physical performance.Many working parents have already figured this out, even if accidentally.

While balancing work and family is often harder for parents than it is for professionals without children, Vanderkam observes that parents are less likely to find themselves half-working. "People with kids or other caregiving responsibilities were much better about observing an end to the workday," she writes. "This makes sense: someone has to pick up the kids at day care, meet a bus, or send a sitter home.

published in May by research firm Valoir found that, while professionals without kids experienced a 3% drop in productivity while working from home during the pandemic, those with kids were only 2% less productive. from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and the Institute of Labor Economics found that, in academia, mothers with at least two children were more productive than women with one child or with no children.

Bottom line: Half-working never helped anyone get ahead in their career. Force yourself to take a real break to recharge and you'll reap the benefits the next day.LoadingBy clicking ‘Sign up’, you agree to receive marketing emails from Business Insider as well as other partner offers and accept our
