I have been working from home for over a year now, however, during that time, I’ve moved from having a home office in Middletown, to a quasi home office (actually a folding table in a kitchen) in an apartment in Bear to now an office in our “Forever Home” in Smyrna.
Moving and adjusting to a new home with new office space can be chaotic but I am finally able to maintain a working from home routine that fits my lifestyle and works best for me.
Working From Home Routine
- Get up and get dressed – I don’t work in my jammies so even if I am not meeting with clients I get dressed, put on makeup and do my hair.
- Read Bible Scriptures, pray and write in Gratitude Journal – Although I am a Social Media Manager/Strategist I never start my day on social, instead I start with scriptures to arm myself for what’s to come.
- Drink glass of lemon water – drinking lemon water jump starts my digestive system and keeps my insides cleansed.
- Coffee and breakfast – I used to skip breakfast when I worked a 9-5, but now I am able to enjoy a small breakfast that not only fuels my body but also my brain.
- Take mid-day break – After reading and answering emails; checking my client’s social media platforms and responding I need to get up and take a break so I’ll walk out of my office for a change of scenery.
- Eat lunch – While out and about, I will make a small salad or bowl of soup with a glass of water before getting back to work.
- Exercise – I try to end my day between 6 and 7 pm, so that I can change into fitness gear and ride the Stationary Bike for 60 minutes.
- “Clock Out” and spend time with family.
This working from home routine works for me and if you have something similar, please feel free to share it here then head over to this week’s Traffic Jam Weekend Linky Party to share something there.

You look Fantastic in your home office. You are really good at routines. Not me. I hate to admit that some days I do not get dressed and only go to the mailbox at my front door. But, I cannot stay home for more than one day at a time else I get cabin fever. Happy New Decade Sis!
oh sis, I can’t believe that since you are always gorgeous in your outfits!!
Thank you. I always learn something new every day. You are the best.
Thank you sis, you know how I do!!
I definitely have a routine. I also get dressed (although no makeup), have tea, go out for lunch and have a definite time to shut down and walk away from it. I could never work in my pajamas. I don’t knock those who do, but I like to be dressed and ready to go out for lunch, open the door for deliveries, etc. Having a set routine and being dressed is definitely more productive for me!
Yes, that sounds like a great routine as well. I must admit that although I don’t wear jammies I do sometimes wear jeggings and a tshirt.
Thank you for stopping by to share your routine.
Thank you for hosting!x
I hope you are enjoying your new office in your new home! I am absolutely loving your routine – you actually factor in clocking off time, something I need to start doing! I don’t have a set routine as such, nothing ever works out to plan for me in that respect but with my blogging goals this year, I am trying to nominate set days for certain aspects. Go you with the hour on the bike though – I tend to manage 10 minutes before I am fed up!
Hope you are having a lovely weekend! Sim x #TrafficJam
I’m so glad that you’re having fun here over at the Traffic Jam Weekend party and I look forward to seeing you each and every week.
I have found that I needed to create a routine otherwise I would be working too long and too hard which is very unhealthy.
I ride slowly not a Peloton stride so that I can last the full 60 minutes.
Great routine, Antionette! Very structured and balanced. Getting dressed and groomed is very important to being in a business frame of mind.
