One thing about remote work is that it comes with flexibility where there’s not much difference between your personal and professional life. Now you’re resuming back at the office, you will need to establish a new routine.

This will involve adjusting your sleep and wake-up time, giving yourself enough time to get ready. You’ll also need to have a specific time for breakfast and plan your commute so you know the right time to leave the house. You will also need to mentally and physically prepare for the day ahead.

If you have been working remotely for years, chances are, you no longer have as many work outfits. Transitioning back to on-site work means you will need some new work clothes. Create a budget for that. You can start small and focus on essentials and outfits you can easily combine with others.

3) Re-establish work-life boundaries

With remote work, there is the possibility of having blurred the lines between work and personal time. When you move to on-site work, it’s important to restore a healthy work-life balance. You can do this by setting clear working hours, sticking to your office schedule and avoiding staying late unless necessary. Also avoid bringing work home and make time for hobbies, family, and relaxation to avoid burnout from the transition.

Transitioning back to on-site work can be stressful, especially if you’ve grown used to the comforts of home. This is why if you are transitioning, you need to learn how to manage stress by practising mindfulness with things like deep breathing, meditation, or stretching. You’ll also need to set realistic expectations and seek support when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

5) Reconnect with your colleagues

One of the biggest perks of on-site work, especially if you are an extrovert, is the social interaction you get with colleagues. While this may have been limited during remote work, being back in the office allows you to rebuild those professional relationships. Take some time to catch up with your colleagues, have face-to-face brainstorming sessions and involve yourself in after-work events.

Moving from remote to on-site work can be overwhelming, but applying the above tips will help you ease into your new routine smoothly.

How to track and recover your stolen phone in Nigeria

Published

Okay, imagine this messy scenario – you get off a bus on your way to or from work. In your haste, you quickly make for your phone to call gossip about your troublesome neighbour.

But as you dip your hand into your handbag, you’re greeted with the shock – your phone is gone. We’ve all experienced something similar, even though it may not be the same story.

But it always ends in panic – your priced phone is gone! But that’s not the end of the world – at least, not when there’s still a chance of you recovering your phone.

We’re not even saying you should chase after the bus. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find your lost phone.

Take charge immediately

Situations like this leave you with two options – either sit and sulk or move quickly to try to recover your phone. We’ll always recommend the latter. Go to the police station as soon as you notice your phone’s stolen and file a police report.

Next, contact your mobile network provider to block your SIM card. This stops the thief from using your phone number for anything cynical or accessing your bank account.

Track your device

There’s a “find my device” feature on most phones. If you have this feature turned on in your phone, use another device to locate your phone. However, never confront the thief in person when you discover their location because they may harm you to escape exposure.

Another option is IMEI tracking. Every phone has a unique IMEI number that can be used to trace the phone’s location. Provide your phone’s IMEI number alongside a police report to your mobile network provider so they can track the phone for you.

Secure your information

While tracking is one of the best ways to find your device, it can still fail. If it does, the next step is to secure the information on your phone. The “find my device” or “find my iPhone” feature also works for remotely wiping your phone.

This helps you prevent the possibility of your data falling into the wrong hands.

Report to area touts

Although this is less effective, people have reported finding their lost phones through this means. If you live in cities like Lagos with a high volume of touts, consider looking for their leader.

Report your missing phone to them and find them “something.” They’ll help you fish out the phone if it was taken by another tout.

Alhamdulillah, we have reached the sixteenth day of the blessed month of Ramadan. May the almighty Allah accept all our sacrifices this period and beyond as we fast and pray today.

The second half of the holy month is now in full throttle, which should encourage us to intensify our prayers of supplications and seeking closeness to Allah.

As we inch closer to the beginning of the last 10 days, let’s remain steadfast in worship, deepen our devotion, and embrace Ramadan’s mercy and blessings.

This period offers the best time to seek forgiveness, strengthen our connection with Allah, and reaffirm our intentions.

Allahumma arzuqni fihi ta’atal-khashi’een, washrah fihi sadri bi-inabatil-mukhbiteen, bi-amanika ya Amanal-khaifeen.

As we make this dua from the sincerity of our hearts, Allah will begin to accept our fasting, prayers, and good deeds.

Hadith of the day

Hadith on Fasting and Forgiveness

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and seeking reward, his past sins will be forgiven.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 38; Sahih Muslim, Hadith 760)

Advertisement

This Hadith emphasises the importance of fasting with sincerity while seeking Allah’s reward. It is only by placing our entire faith in Allah that we can access forgiveness of sins and other rewards.

Therefore, I implore you, brothers and sisters, to completely believe in all the works of our creator that he has revealed to us through his blessed Prophet (PBUH).

By doing this, we’re not only pleasing Alla, but we’re also opening up paths for beautiful rewards here on earth and in the afterlife.

Deed of the day

Help Someone in Need

Ramadan is a time for generosity and kindness. On this 15th day, make an effort to help someone in need. This can be done in various ways:

Advertisement
  • Donate to charity: Give the less privileged money, food, or clothes.

  •  Feed a fasting person: Provide iftar to someone in need or a fellow Muslim.

  • Support a struggling family: Help a neighbor, friend, or relative facing difficulties.

  • Volunteer your time: Assist at a local mosque, soup kitchen, or community center.

  • Offer emotional support: Check on someone who may be lonely or struggling.

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:

“The most beloved people to Allah are those who are most beneficial to others.”

(Hadith – al-Muʻjam al-Awsat 6192)

By helping others, we earn immense rewards and bring blessings into our lives. May Allah accept your good deeds!

Day 17 Tahajjud reminder

As we continue our spiritual journey, let us not forget the power of Tahajjud, the late-night prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

Whoever prayed at night the whole month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.

– Narrated by Abu Huraira

Tonight, let us wake up in the quiet hours, raise our hands in supplication, and seek Allah’s guidance, mercy, and blessings.

May our fasting and worship be accepted, and may we continue to seek Allah’s mercy and blessings in the days ahead. Ameen.
