But if you\u2019re a remote worker, looking at your bank accounts, wondering where those savings are, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, working from home is more than a location change \u2014 it\u2019s a total lifestyle shift. Your house now serves a new purpose: it\u2019s your office and your break room and \u2014 let\u2019s be honest \u2013 a potential stress zone. Consolidating where you live and work can make it hard to \u201cleave work at work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s very normal for your spending habits to change because of this. Keep in mind \u2014 this is not because you\u2019re careless. You may be searching for a way to \u201cde-stress\u201d and that way may have gradually become online shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is important, so take this to heart: while this may feel like a money problem, it\u2019s not. It\u2019s a burnout problem disguised as a money problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Choose some simple ways to cut \u201cat home\u201d costs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s start with your \u201cat home\u201d bills \u2014 here are a few simple ways to save money, even if you do need to use power all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, don\u2019t panic! You don\u2019t need to freeze in your own house or sit wrapped in the dark, wrapped in a blanket. We\u2019re not talking survival mode, just common sense ways to save that won\u2019t make you uncomfortable:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adjust the thermostat just for the room you\u2019re in. Not the whole house!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plug your stuff into a power strip, and flip it off at the end of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you can use a laptop, do that because it requires far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constellation.com\/solutions\/for-your-small-business\/small-business-resources\/energy-efficient-home-office.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">less energy<\/a> than a desktop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work near a window \u2014 natural light is better than turning on every lamp!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Call your internet provider and determine if you\u2019re paying for more speed than you need.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set your monitor to go to sleep when you\u2019re not using it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Move your router to a better spot that doesn\u2019t cause buffering and a need to upgrade.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weather-strip your doors and windows to heat or AC from leaking out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Run laundry and dishes at night, during off-peak hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unplug your chargers when you\u2019re not using them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t overwhelm yourself by trying to do all of this at once. Pick one or two at a time, and then when you feel like you\u2019ve built those habits, add on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No, delivery isn\u2019t a lunch plan \u2014 it\u2019s a coping mechanism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We get it \u2014 noon comes around and you\u2019re in your pajamas you just wrapped your third meeting of the day (and counting), and the fridge\u2019s contents are not very inviting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/how-much-do-americans-spend-on-lunch\/\">So you order something<\/a> to treat yourself \u2026 again. To reiterate, you\u2019re not lazy or irresponsible, but you may be <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2019\/12\/burnout-is-about-your-workplace-not-your-people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">depleted<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a trick that can help. Try planning ahead so that lunch doesn\u2019t become a decision:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cook a few proteins and veggies twice a week \u2014 it doesn\u2019t have to be fancy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotate between three things: wrap, grain bowl, jar salad.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use containers you actually like using.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re not interested in a Pinterest board here \u2014 you just want something easy to grab, and tasty enough. It\u2019s true that you can\u2019t buy peace of mind, but you may be able to pack it ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if the commute money you\u2019re saving goes to something that supports you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was likely a time you used to spend money to get to work \u2014 gas, parking, and the coffee you bought because you forgot your travel mug at home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ballpark how much you\u2019re saving by no longer spending this, and set up a weekly transfer of that same amount to a separate account. This could be an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.accrediteddebtrelief.com\/blog\/why-you-should-have-an-emergency-fund\/\">emergency fund<\/a> for when life comes up, or a \u201cjoy fund\u201d for things that make you feel human again, or maybe for a class you\u2019d like to take!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are worth investing in. Use the money you\u2019re saving on travel for something that will life you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time to check in with yourself \u2014 do you feel like a person or a Zoom ghost?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This important check can often get missed. Cost and savings are important, but there\u2019s not enough discussion around how to stay human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People need other people, and movement, and boundaries \u2026 and breaks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think about popping these on your calendar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One or two co-work dates a month at a library or caf\u00e9.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk-and-talk phone calls so you can get some sun and not stare at a screen!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 10-minute screen-free routine at the end of the day. Could be music, stretching, sitting outside \u2014 whatever works.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t \u201cwoo woo\u201d \u2013 this is basic mental health (and financial) maintenance. Research shows that when your brain feels OK, your spending habits usually follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Save money by being kind to yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of this is about being perfect, or changing overnight. It\u2019s really about noticing what\u2019s not working and trying one thing at a time that can move you in a better direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your comfort and your energy matter.&nbsp; If your setup helps you feel calm and clear, the money part gets easier. And suddenly, working from home doesn\u2019t feel like survival anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working from home isn&#8217;t always cheaper.
