Adjusting to the “New Normal”: 3 Practical Ways to Stay Productive at Home
The global impact of the coronavirus pandemic has reshaped how we live, work, and connect. From multinational organisations to individual households, everyone has been required to adapt to a rapidly changing world and embrace what’s now commonly called the “New Normal”.
While there’s still uncertainty around what the future holds, one thing is clear: finding ways to stay productive, healthy, and positive at home is essential. Here are three practical tips to help you navigate this transition with confidence.
Stay Connected Through Technology
Extended lockdowns and social restrictions have significantly reduced face-to-face interactions. Family gatherings, weekend getaways, and casual catch-ups have often been postponed or cancelled, leaving many people feeling isolated.
Fortunately, technology allows us to stay socially connected, even while physically apart. Video calls, online games, virtual celebrations, and group chats can all help maintain meaningful relationships. Reaching out to friends and family for emotional support isn’t just comforting—it’s vital for mental wellbeing.
While online interactions may not fully replace in-person connection, prioritising health and safety remains paramount. Staying connected digitally is one of the healthiest ways to protect both.
Prioritise Rest and Work-Life Balance
With many Australians now working from home, the boundaries between professional and personal life can quickly blur. What initially felt convenient can become exhausting, as work begins to invade what was once a space for rest and recovery.
Creating defined working hours—and sticking to them—can make a significant difference. When your workday has a clear end, your home can once again feel like a refuge rather than an extension of the office.
Adequate rest, regular breaks, and quality time with loved ones will help you stay energised, focused, and productive in the long run.
Keep Your Home Clean, Healthy, and Comfortable
Spending more time indoors has increased the importance of maintaining a clean and hygienic home environment. Clean carpets, upholstery, and mattresses don’t just improve comfort—they also support better health by reducing allergens, bacteria, and unpleasant odours.
Between work commitments, supervising online schooling, and managing daily responsibilities, deep cleaning often falls to the bottom of the list. That’s where professional support can make all the difference.
