Working From Home Tips - From The Modibodi Team

Are you currently in a position to work from home? We understand not every job has the privilege to let you do so. Modibodi HQ, being based mostly online, is lucky to be able to support our staff by working from home during these uncertain times.

While the sleep in, more time with your dog or cat and lack of commute time is great, we want to make sure we don’t get too comfortable and slip into unhealthy patterns, such as poor posture, over working, not switching off, distractions, and blurring lines between home and work.

Here are a few tips from the Modibodi team to help you make the most of your working from home environment.

Tips to help your posture; nothing worse than getting constant headaches from looking down at your screen or having tight and hunched shoulders.

Make your desk space nice and set it up to work each morning - don't start checking emails until you've done this, so make sure you have everything you need ready to go; charger, books, post it notes, water, coffee, etc - candles, plants, decorations
