#WorkFromRobe Diaries with Maryann Walsh

Occupation: Registered Dietitian/ Business Consultant

Age: 36

Typical Work From Home Schedule:  

6:30 AM: Wake-up
7:00/7:30 AM: Eat breakfast, feed my pup Cannoli before she goes to doggy daycare and get dressed/ start to get ready for the day. My typical daily attire the past 2 years consists of leggings and a comfortable top. I like to keep my WorkRobe in my home office so I can easily throw it on if it gets cold or if I have a zoom meeting where I want to look more put together and professional.
8:30 AM: I start work for the day, typically spending 30 minutes going through emails and making any adjustments to my Google Calendar and my to-do list in my planner.
9 AM: I typically start to dive into projects and deliverables if I don't have any zoom meetings scheduled.
12 PM I take a break for lunch and then it's back to work at around 12:30/ 1 PM until about 5:30/6 PM.
I try to squeeze in a 20 minute walk each day, the time depends on when I need a mental break.
6-8 PM The rest of my evening consists of dinner time and tackling any personal projects, which I have quite a few these days as I prepare for a new baby in 2 months!
8-10 PM is when I try to start to wind down and hopefully fall asleep by 10:30/11 PM

Best Productivity Tip:

"Make lists and set priorities for each day using tools like Google Calendar or whatever program feels best for you. Even on days where your calendar isn't packed with meetings, schedule in to-do's and tasks so they feel more concrete. Also, the old saying "Eat the Frog" can be a helpful mantra to help you tackle bigger or less exciting tasks in the morning to make the rest of your day feel lighter."

Additional Tips to Share

"Keep high protein snacks/ bars and water on your desk so if you get busy with back to back meetings you can stay fed and hydrated! This is a great way to prevent brain fog and also prevents you from overeating and feeling sluggish later on when you do sit down to eat an actual meal."
