COVID-19 greatly accelerated the adoption of work from home, and exposed many more people to the challenges of keeping a healthy work-life balance without commuting. At the same time more and more people are choosing to freelance instead of work for an employer. However, there is limited information on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance while working from home. This paper uses a wide range of sources to discuss the impact of overwork and some possible causes, as well as provides information on how to maintain a healthy work-life balance while working from home. Although the focus is about young unestablished freelancers, much of the information should be applicable to others working from home. To address the independent nature of working from home, and the differences between individuals, this paper provides several broad suggestions on building and maintaining work-life balance while working from home. The suggestions are categorized into three categories: 1. schedule management, 2. workday management, 3. reflection and improvement. This paper can be used as an introduction on building a systematic working from home habit which will maintain a work-life balance.
