Four months into WFH life, you might need a reminder on the importance of moving around and taking breaks during the work day to stay productive (and sane). At TM’s virtual retreat, we shared the tips that are keeping us going.

Work-from-home burnout is real.

With the pandemic-prompted shift to remote work continuing on into the summer at many companies, the lines between professional and home stresses are even more easily blurred now, making it hard to escape either.

Technical.ly has been covering the shift from office life to remote work since mid-March — almost exactly four months ago — aka the moment we realized life was about to change drastically. Indeed, it did, as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on in the U.S. and working from home continues to be the norm for many tech and other professional workers. Even those who started WFH life with the best of intentions for their habits may be forgetting to take care of themselves during a stressful time.

Last week, it got us sharing ideas — virtually, of course. Begrudgingly, we at Technically Media canceled our annual IRL team retreat scheduled for mid-May (just after what would have been Philly Tech Week 2020now scheduled for September). Instead, we held a briefer virtual retreat, during which we shared how we’ve all been getting by since the last time we could meet in person.
