Working from home

I work from home three days a week, which gives me more control my time. I used to spend nearly an hour travelling to the office, so I now have time exercise before work. I keep my desk in a room I use only for work. At lunchtime I go outside in spite the weather. I have found easier to concentrate since I created a clear routine. I still enjoy office days because I can talk colleagues face to face. The change has become part of my normal routine, and I now notice the benefits more clearly than I did at the beginning. It has also encouraged me to plan ahead and make small practical improvements. The routine now feels normal, and I find it easier to plan each week.
