24.01.2022 Keep a dedicated work space. To increase productivity and make sure that you maintain separation between your personal and work life, create a space which is solely dedicated to working. This will reduce distractions and help you to get some emotional distance from your work. #workfromhome #takecareofyourself #tips

22.01.2022 According to Healthdirect, 4 in 10 Australian adults don't get enough sleep and feel tired as a result. Many of us also think that we're getting enough sleep but don't realise that we're not getting quality sleep which means that we still feel tired. So what is quality sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, the key determinants of quality sleep are:... - Sleeping more time while in bed (at least 85 percent of the total time) - Falling asleep in 30 minutes or less - Waking up no more than once per night; and - Being awake for 20 minutes or less after initially falling asleep. Some ways of making sure that you get a good night of quality sleep include optimising your bedroom, not eating late at night and reassessing your alcohol intake.

13.01.2022 Did you know? When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress.
