Working from your Phoenix apartment sounds like the ideal situation, but it can be tasking, especially if roommates, spouses, or children are all sharing the same space. These tips will help ease the stress of working and learning from home.

Create Separate Workspaces

When you have multiple people sharing a space and working from home, it can feel a bit crowded. Set up dedicated workspaces for everyone in your North Phoenix apartment and respect each other’s areas.

Coordinate Schedules

It is important that you communicate with those that are sharing space to understand each other’s schedule. Perhaps your roommate has a Zoom meeting set up at a certain time or a deadline due that day. Understanding each other’s schedules and priorities can help you navigate the tricky waters of multiple people working from your apartment in Phoenix.

Give Each Other Space

Whether it is a family member or a roommate, we all need a little bit of personal space! Consider scheduling time in common living areas and don’t apologize for taking some private time in your own room when you need it!

Listen

We are all feeling a bit stressed and distant right now! Despite technology that has made social distancing easier, we don’t have office mates, friends or family members to talk to and sometimes people need to be heard. Remember to take a moment to listen and empathize, not criticize or give advice. It will go a long way to creating a harmonious environment.

Let it Go

No matter how spacious your apartment is, sometimes you must just let it go, whether that means going out for a walk while maintaining social distance or sitting down and talking.  Don’t focus on your family or roommate’s flaws, instead focus on their positive traits.

Get Out

Getting out for fresh air or exercise can make all the difference in the world, even if that means going out on your deck for some fresh air. Stretching or going for a walk or run (follow local government and CDC’s guidelines) can help you deal with stress and feel both energized and balanced.
