Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Obesity is associated with a shorter lifespan and with an increased risk of many chronic diseases. The good news is that just being somewhat overweight does not reduce your longevity, and for those over the age of 65, it is actually better to be on the high side of normal than the low side.
A 2018 study (part of the Framingham heart study) looked at body mass index and mortality over a period of 24 years. For those who were obese, people that had a body mass index of 30 to 35 had a 27% increase in mortality, and those who had a body mass index of 35 to 40 had a 93% increase.
What weight is ideal? Among those who were overweight but not obese (had a body mass index between 25 and 30), mortality was only increased among those who also smoked. People with a body mass index on the high side of normal (e.g. 24) had the lowest mortality.
There isn't any real magic when it comes to maintaining (or getting to) a normal body mass index. Eating a healthy diet, not too much and avoiding empty calorie, and exercising daily, even if it's fun activities such as gardening, are the true "secret."
In the past, eating breakfast was stressed as necessary for optimal health. Research is now changing that thought, and intermittent fasting (going for 13 or more hours each day without eating) may have some benefits. Though the concept and research to back it up are young, intermittent fasting may help with weight loss and appears to have benefits in cancer risk reduction as well.
If you are struggling, talk with your doctor. But keep in mind that fad diets do not work, and your greatest chance of success lies in adopting long-term healthy eating patterns and engaging in regular physical activity for life.
