Well, you could smell this one coming from a mile away. Once the pandemic hit and we stopped spending time around other people, we all realized fast that we could stop putting on airs.  And by “airs,” I mean “pants.” A new survey asked people about the changes in their personal grooming habits since quarantine started last year.  And here are the results . . .some stink. Like really!

1.  Wear makeup . . . 63% of people who did it before do it less now.

2.  Styling your hair . . . 50% do it less.

3.  Wearing a bra . . . 34%.

4.  Putting on clean clothes every day . . . 29%.

5.  Washing your hair . . . 25%.

6.  Showering . . . 17%.

7.  Using deodorant . . . 16%.

8.  Putting on fresh underwear and socks . . . 8%.

9.  Brushing your teeth . . . 6%.

Tips For Working From Home

• Get Dressed!

  Share

  Sure, you're not leaving your house (that's kinda the point), but you should still make it a point to shower and get dressed. It'll feel more normal for you.

• Set Up A Dedicated Workspace!

  Share

  Your kids are home from school, so are other family members. Plus, there are distractions abound. Find a spot in your home and treat it like your office.

• Set a Schedule

  Share

  Stick to your normal work hours. Line up your tasks, and when you've worked through them for the day, log off. You need to keep your work/life balance.
• Exercise!

  Share

  Make sure you make time to get up and move around. Try and exercise before you start work for the day (or after, if that's better for you.)

• Stay Connected!

  Share

  There's plenty of conference call and video conference apps and programs out there. Your company is bound to use one of them. Stay connected with your co-workers to remain productive and make the isolation feel just a little less.

• Take Breaks!

  Share

  Experts say you should work in 35-minute incriments. Get up, take a quick breather. Walk around. Stretch. Get a glass of water or another cup of coffee. You'll feel refreshed and be more productive.
• Remember, We’re On Your Smart Speaker

  Share
