Working from home can be convenient, but it also comes with challenges. For me, the biggest ones are sitting too much and constantly thinking about snacks. When I used to go into the office, I naturally got more movement, walking from the garage, going up and down stairs, picking up lunch, and chatting with coworkers. That daily activity made a big difference. Now that I’m working from home, I’ve had to find new ways to stay active and feel connected. I’ve also started noticing some unexpected benefits. I’ve gained back an extra hour each day by skipping traffic, which means more time for myself and fewer emissions from my car! I’ve also reduced spending by making coffee at home and drinking water from a filter instead of buying bottled drinks. It feels good to know I’m saving money and reducing my carbon footprint at the same time.

Here is how Camden makes working from home easier:

A Place Designed for Work

Camden apartments include a dedicated space for working, which helps separate your job from your home life. Having a clear work area can improve focus and reduce the urge to wander into the kitchen all day.

Staying Balanced and Connected

Wellness isn’t just about exercise; it’s also about feeling good mentally. Step outside for fresh air, bring your pet along, and take a moment to talk with neighbors or Camden staff. These small actions can lift your mood and help you feel more grounded.
