Love it or hate it, remote work continues for some Americans and a few bad habits could leave you more emotionally and financially spent. Remote work has likely improved your commute, but possibly strained other things like your relationships and in some cases your mental and physical health.

In a study by CraftJack, Americans say 74% of them have felt pain or discomfort working from home. Many people who are still working from home have not adjusted to a comfortable and more permanent setting.

"I remember when the pandemic first began it was like-- this might be over in a few weeks. Then, maybe it was a month or two. Well, now we are more than 18 months into this and while some of these things will end and go back a semblance of normalcy in the future, there are a lot of things that just won't," says Noah Mishkin, CraftJack Founder and COO.

CraftJack connects contractors to homeowners, and it says while many people did do home improvement projects at the start of the pandemic, 71% say they are still improvising their at home workspace.

"A lot of people today are still working from a non-designated area in their house, and we found a lot of people working from home are working from their bed," says Mishkin.

Mishkin adds not having a dedicated space could:

• impact productivity
• limit creativity
• create physical problems
• cause mental health or burnout issues.

Of those who participated in the survey, 66% say they would get a more supportive office chair for home, they cannot afford it. However, people did say they spent some money trying to improve their at home work space especially because of video conference meetings.

If you are still working in a makeshift area in your home, consider dedicating a corner of your home to your work. This would mean having desk or table with comfortable chair or a stand up desk if you prefer. Not only will it be more physically comfortable to do your job, but it could help prevent some of the back or neck problems your could expect from spending the majority of your work day on your bed or couch.
