The aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic drastically changed the traditions humanity was accustomed to. It has affected decisions and practices from work and school to everyday activities like getting groceries and dressing up. People have learned how to structure priorities because of safety protocol. All movement and contact have been made limited to avoid sickness. Work roles to be replaced with technology have been identified and remote work arrangements have been put in place to prevent unnecessary contact in the workplace. There has also been a great increase in the demand for Telemedicine. This is due to the explosion of mental health issues that have been acquired since the pandemic. All these changes have changed the routines and traditions of people worldwide. 

Today, vaccines have already been made available to prevent the spread of the virus. After two years, there are more lenient restrictions as the world is entering the New Normal stage. Since the changes over the years have been fast and sudden, many people are still adjusting. Some already have found themselves accustomed to post-Covid norms such as working remotely or having online classes, as it is beneficial in many ways. 

Globally, 89% of workers wish to remain working from home. In the Philippines, almost 50% of the workforce prefers to work remotely. Aside from the arrangement being a solution to avoid the spread of the virus, avoiding the struggles of daily travel and the convenience of being in your comfort zone are factors employees prefer to stay home. Several companies have already adapted to the hybrid work setup. The shift has proved that meetings could be sent out as emails and that bosses watching their subordinates’ shoulders doesn’t help boost productivity. With that being said, today’s workforce now leans toward working from home. 

With the drastic changes around it is best to live in a property that is New Normal ready. Prioritize aspects such as safety, convenience, and comfort, as these are what most investors and home seekers prioritize during these post-pandemic times. Live around what matters to you while maintaining a safe distance.

Here is a list of the things you can do in The Persimmon Studios. 

Exercise to Start your Day 

Exercise is known to be vital to one’s health and well-being. Despite this, juggling your career, responsibilities, and social life amidst the pandemic tends to be overwhelming. With a busy schedule, it is hard to squeeze in a workout or find time to exercise. With consistency as the key to a successful workout, there is no right or wrong time to exercise. The “ideal time” depends on factors such as preference, lifestyle, and schedule. Everyone is different, therefore workout schedules are ideally subjective. 

Among the different possible times to work out, breaking an early sweat or working out in the morning has some unique benefits. Being the first activity you do in the morning, you are less prone to phone calls, texts, and reading emails, an early workout keeps you away from distractions. Outdoor exercises are cooler when done in the morning. If you are one to prefer outdoor activities, working out before 10 am is ideal as the temperature is lower compared to after 10 am to 3 pm. According to a recent study, participants who partook in brisk walking for at least 45 minutes in the morning showed increased physical activity throughout the day compared to days they did not start with an exercise. Morning exercises promote a healthy lifestyle throughout the day making it beneficial in terms of physical fitness

Aside from the physical benefits of morning exercise, morning workouts provide mental and emotional advantages as well. A study conducted in 2018 had students involved in three 30-minute sessions of cardio in a week. Those who stuck with the habit for weeks to follow made healthier food choices. This shows how working out early encourages one to make healthier decisions throughout the day. Morning exercises are also a great way to start the day as it is a natural remedy for stress. During exercise, the brain releases “feel good” neurotransmitters known as Endorphins. Start your day with a sense of accomplishment and greet your morning with optimism. 

With the amenities in The Persimmon Studios right inside the property, never run out of time to squeeze in a morning workout. Vecinos get to use the swimming pool, gym, and basketball court to keep up with an active lifestyle in the comfort of their homes, no matter how busy their day is. 

Get Inspired to Work Better 

With your home and work area under the same roof, it is crucial that you learn how to maximize your productivity and switch from your laid-back feel-at-home vibe to your goal-getter work attitude. Having a morning routine helps as these activities or morning habits transition you from your home environment to your workspace mood. Time management techniques, such as the Pomodoro Method, are a great way to manage your working hours, dividing them into 2 to 3-hour sessions with a 10 to 20-minute break between. Taking work breaks outside is also beneficial as the fresh air and sounds of nature help your mind recharge and refresh. 

Another important thing is designating a workspace. Create a workspace preferably separate from your bedroom, or find a spot somewhere that allows you to work in peace away from noise and distractions. Research states that workspaces with scenic views and good environments help employees be more productive. Natural lighting and scenic view greatly affect the mental disposition of workers, reducing stress and building psychological connections while in a safe space.
