ADD MORE LIFE TO YOUR WORK-LIFE BALANCE With These 3 Tips
One of the biggest concerns employers have with remote work revolves around employees finding distractions at home that will take their attention away from job duties. While this is certainly true for some remote workers, it doesn’t apply to everyone. Certain individuals will even be drawn back into work at home when they’re supposed to be spending time with their family or doing hobbies they enjoy. In fact, when remote workers don’t unplug from their work, they are much more likely to burn out. If you or your employees are currently working remotely, it’s important to establish a proper work-life balance. Here are three ways to include more personal time in your daily routine. Set boundaries. After you clock out for the day, it can be easy to get dragged back in if you get a text or email relating to your job. That’s why it’s important to set boundaries for yourself. Once you reach a certain time in the day, turn off your work phone or email. Set an alarm for yourself for a time when your work day comes to a close — and put everything away so you can focus on your home life. Establish a workspace. Our environment can play a large role in how we feel each day. If you haven’t established a workspace in your home, you
might struggle to separate work from home life. Think about it; if you work from your living room, you will probably find it more difficult to relax there later in the evening. You don’t have to turn an entire room into an office, but dedicating a corner as your workspace will come with benefits. Wear work attire. What we wear has an effect on how we feel. If you’re wearing sweatpants while you work, it can be difficult to unwind when you’re off the clock and wearing the same clothes. Switch it up and wear professional attire while you’re working. When the workday comes to a close, you can shed your work clothes for something comfier, which will help you relax and focus on what’s going on at home.

WAR CHIEF FORGED BY WORLD WAR II Joseph Medicine Crow — The Hero We Need
In the North American Crow tribe, members must complete four challenges to earn the title of war chief. These tasks include … 1. Leading a successful war party on a raid 2. Capturing an enemy’s weapon 3. Touching an enemy without killing them 4. Stealing an enemy’s horse Each of these tasks requires skill, courage, and strategic thinking to complete — and during World War II, a tribesman named Private Joseph Medicine Crow mastered all of them.
Medicine Crow enlisted in the 103rd Infantry Division and “was recognized for leading a war party that, under fire, retrieved dynamite to use to attack German guns. He also overcame a German soldier in hand-to-hand combat on a street in France (sparing his life), and captured 50 SS horses at a farm where German officers were staying,” according to World Wisdom.
In 2009, President Barack Obama awarded Joseph Medicine Crow the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his service.
