Work/Life Balance

Tips & Strategies on How to Provide Remote Services Shared by ODP & BSASP 

For many of us, working form home has become the new normal.  It is important that we establish routines that prioritize a work/life balance to maintain our mental health and productivity. This means more than just following basic work from home rules like creating a designated work space and creating a work schedule to keep boundaries.  It also means creating habits that promote health and wellness for yourself and the people you live (and now, technically, work) with. 

Here are some great resources for achieving that balance curated from the PA Office of Administration:
