Our Guide to Staying Home

Team Phase Eight share their top tips for ways to stay healthy and positive, while keeping up productivity, as we all spend more time at home. From delicious smoothies to Skype workout sessions, read on for some inspiration.

• Start the morning right

  Start your day with a hearty breakfast. Mel from our Photography team is making use of her extra time in the morning by creating fruity smoothies to enjoy with her eggs and avo on toast!

• Keep to a routine

  We’re sticking to our usual routine as much as possible. Getting up early and planning an outfit gets us in a motivated and energised headspace ready for the day ahead.

• Create a workspace

  Get comfortable and make sure you have everything you need nearby – you don’t want to be dashing into the next room to find a notepad during a conference call!

• Listen to your favourite radio channel

  Want a little background noise? Tune into your favourite radio station for music, entertainment and news updates.

• Remember to take a break

  It’s important to take a break from your screen, so try to remember to get up and stretch your legs, even if it’s just around the house. Our Daywear Buyer, Olivia, suggests if, like her, you’re missing the gym, find a home workout tutorial on YouTube and get a friend on Skype to join you, so you can exercise together.

• Keep in touch

  Communication is essential during this time, so make sure you’re checking in with your colleagues and work friends regularly. A phone or video call can go a long way!

We appreciate that these are uncertain times for all of us; but being part of a positive community is the best way to keep our spirits up.
