Today, many of us feel the desire, even the need, to have a job that makes sense, that is close to our deepest aspirations. This sometimes leads to real life changes, such as working from home. This is why, when you start as an entrepreneur, you almost necessarily go through the home office box. And it can be stressful not to set the right limits, not to be able to work optimally, especially when you start! Before having our stores, I only worked from home and this for several years. And in my opinion there are a few golden rules to follow so as not to turn crazy and above all manage to draw a line between work, household chores, moments for yourself, family, …
2. A GOOD WORKSTATION
Take a moment to create a nice, tidy workspace. Above all, do not work from a bed or sofa, soft surfaces are neither good for your back nor good for feeling up! Having a nice space on a table, with a small cozy decorative object like a candle (my favorite, the Swiss Kaptus soy wax candles) or a plant helps a lot with concentration and especially to enjoy working from home!
5. HYDRATION
1. CHANGE
This is one of the most important things in my opinion. Follow your morning routine and GET DRESSED. This little detail completely changes the mindset and takes you from a quiet Sunday morning to a productive start to the day even from home!

3. L-I-S-T-E-S
This doesn't just apply to the home office, lists are the essence of smooth running, efficiency and peace of mind in my opinion! Take a moment to set your goals for the day, most specific = most effective! This will help you complete the tasks and not waste time! It will also keep you from having stray thoughts like "oh I have to answer Vanessa" or "I absolutely have to call the printer", everything is noted and everything is on time!
4. MUSIC
The temptation is easy but I advise you not to watch Netflix or Youtube, even in the background. Use soft music instead. I recommend the playlist Spotify « LOVE » de Yoga Girl. Perfect for helping focus!

Drinking enough water is never easy, doing home office is the perfect opportunity to always have a large glass of water always next to you!
6. PAUSE AND BREATHING
Breaks are also very important so that you don't go crazy in your work. Knowing how to listen to yourself and take time for yourself is essential. Stopping several times during the day to refocus on yourself and do something that makes you happy like taking a moment in the sun, making yourself a tea, breathing deeply, stretching...
7. AND AFTER....
Knowing how to appreciate the sweetness of doing nothing After a productive day, it is important to put your brain on "off". By this I mean not trying to be the most productive all the time. It is also necessary to know how to appreciate the sweetness of doing nothing! So let go of your job, tidy up your workspace and enjoy your family, call a friend, enjoy a little aperitif, watch a good movie,...
