Work-Life Balance Remote Career

Maintaining a Work-Life Balance in a Remote Career

Maintaining a good work-life balance can be difficult. It can become an even bigger challenge when you’re working from home and are unable to separate where you work from where you live. These five tips, though, can help you manage that distinction, stay productive, and prevent burnout!

1. Keep a dedicated work space separate from other areas

Think of it this way — you’re not only working from home, you’re living at work. And blurring the two areas together too much can make it tough to keep a healthy proportion between them. While it can be all too easy to relax and take your mind off tasks at hand when you’re working from your bed, it can also become difficult to relax and get an adequate amount of sleep when you’ve become used to working in bed. Keeping separate places for you to work and to unwind helps you maintain a proper balance between the two, allowing you to focus when you need to study and settle back during your off-hours and ultimately helping you be not only more productive but also healthier.

2. Set regular working hours

Getting into a work mindset is much more manageable when a schedule has been made and put into practice, and this allows you to ensure enough time is being spent on your tasks. Equally important, though, is that you don’t overwork yourself. Get into a routine of starting and stopping at certain times, so that you don’t experience burnout by sitting and working at your desk non-stop and late into the evening.

3. Manage distractions

Even when you have a daily schedule planned out and a designated work area in which to study, the temptation to pull out your phone and check Twitter is still strong. There are ways to mitigate this, however. Several free and paid apps — such as Freedom, StayFocused, and many more — allow you to block certain websites at certain times on your devices. This way, you can stay productive and won’t have to worry about crunch time for tasks that have been procrastinated on.

4. Take breaks

Sitting in one place and working without breaks is a recipe for burnout. In order to keep a healthy balance between life at your job and life outside of your job (especially when working remotely), it’s important to take breaks. This can be getting some exercise, doing some relaxing self-care, making sure you don’t eat lunch in front of your computer every day, whatever you need to clear your mind and have some separation from your job for a bit.

5. Ask for help if you need it

Finally, never hesitate to ask for help when you need it. Reaching out can be difficult when all of the interactions have been long-distance, but holding back will only hinder you. Whether you need help understanding a task, navigating remote tools, or are simply hitting a wall from working remotely, find someone you can reach out to who can answer your questions or offer you support.

Students are placed into funding brackets (Elite, Standard, Enhanced) based on our AI assessment. Higher-credit students generate higher upfront payments to your school, while students with limited credit are seamlessly directed to our 0% Payment Plan.

These brackets are established using data from over $1 billion in career training loan originations and may be adjusted periodically based on updated repayment trends.

Important note: Regardless of which bracket a student falls into, they are considered fully paid by your school once funded. The student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student.

Elite Access not available for Computer Science programs. Upfront percentages vary by industry and loan terms.

Once Climb disburses upfront funding for a student loan, that student is considered fully paid by your school. You will not receive any additional payments for that student—the single upfront payment is complete and final.

From that point forward, the student’s repayment obligation exists exclusively between Climb and the student. Your school has zero liability if the student defaults, and you keep the full upfront payment regardless of the student’s future payment performance.

They’re automatically offered our 0% Interest Payment Plan, ensuring no student is turned away while maintaining steady monthly cash flow for your school.

Higher-credit students generate larger upfront payments (75-100% of tuition), while students with limited credit use our 0% APR* Payment Plan for consistent monthly revenue. Both options are risk-free for your school
