I recall how, as a kid, my mother was INSISTENT I do my homework and go to bed at the same time every day. At the time, I couldn\u2019t understand why I wasn\u2019t allowed to make my own decisions about my day-to-day schedule; after all, I was eight years old and had an OVERFLOWING amount of wisdom. However, my mom understood that routine was important for me for several reasons: having routine gave me structure, was an element of consistency in my life, and helped me establish healthy habits (which my eight-year-old self TOTALLY realized\u2026totally).<\/p>\n

The reasons why routine was important for me as a child are the same reasons routine is important for adults. When we have systematic habits, we often find ourselves less stressed, less overwhelmed, and more likely to reach our goals. In a time full of change and uncertainty, creating a work-from-home routine has produced a sense of stability in my life. Routine is powerful in that it helps maintain my sanity and increase my productivity. (Check out my typical work-from-home routine in the bonus content<\/a> below). If you find yourself needing to create healthy work-from-home habits, check out five tips that have helped me create a powerful remote-work routine!<\/p>\n
