💻 Working from home this fall? Let’s make sure you stay energized and focused! 🏡

One of the biggest struggles with WFH is snacking (we’ve all been there!), but it doesn’t have to be unhealthy.

Keep brain-boosting snacks like almonds 🥜, apple slices 🍏, and hummus with veggie sticks 🥒 nearby for a quick energy boost. And don’t forget to schedule short breaks!

Stretch, walk around, and drink water 💧 to avoid feeling sluggish.

These little adjustments can improve your productivity and keep you feeling great, even on the longest workdays. 💪
