Stay Connected with Others

Working and living in the same atmosphere can make you feel disengaged and provide you cabin fever. As per expert opinion you should try to stay connected with family and friends by telephone, email, instant messaging or tangible human contact, if possible. In any work atmosphere, it is relaxing and helpful to allocate experience with others. Although you might not be able to peep over your compartment and talk with a co-worker face to face, you certainly can share stories over the phone.
