There are pros and cons to working from home. On the plus side, you’re spared the commute and you’re probably saving money on lunches and Starbucks runs. But there are downsides, too. If you’re not careful, work and home life can blur until work feels never-ending. That can be detrimental to your physical and mental health. It can also mean that you’re bringing less energy and focus to your work.

The CSU's Learning and Development team has provided activities that will help you create a healthy work-life balance so you can stay sane and productive.
