If you’re one of the many workers who transitioned to a remote workplace amid the pandemic, you’ve very likely had to adjust your schedule. With the absence of a morning commute, the rhythm of your daily routine has been altered.
An article from Employee Benefit News highlights how morning routines hold the key to optimizing WFH life.
Author of “Beating Burnout At Work,” Paula Davis says morning routines set the tone for the rest of the day.

This is especially important for those who work from home.
