Three Things I Swear By This Week: Hydrated Salads, Smarter Workouts, and WFH Wardrobe Resets
Date: August 28, 2025
I’ve found myself back in a fully remote setup — which I have not experienced since five years ago. At first, it sounded dreamy, but then, I realized I was falling into the “wearing sweats” trap. After years of the RTO hustle and hybrid arrangements, I realized I had to rebuild boundaries, wardrobes, and routines. As hybrid models waver and remote work stabilizes, these small routines have been my grounding force.
In fact, in 2025, about 22% of the U.S. workforce — over 32.6 million people — now work remotely, and a full 83% of global employees say hybrid arrangements are ideal. We Work RemotelyBacklinko+5Neat+5Yomly+5
👇 Here’s what’s saving my sanity this week:
🥗 Thing 1: Pimp Your Salad
Salads don’t have to be boring “diet food.” With the right ingredients, your salad becomes a fast, flavorful, filling meal — not a calorie bomb.

💪 Thing 2: The DIY Exercise Plan
Doing the same workout over and over is the fast lane to burnout. My DAOFitLife formula mixes it up: HIIT + LISS + Strength + Precision = Results.

🧥 Thing 3: Get Ready, Even If You WFH
WFH can blur the lines between “home mode” and “work mode.” One of the best tips: never stay in pajamas for work. Dressing with intention flips your brain into “show up” mode, even if your commute is just a few steps.
And it’s also important to dress up your “office,” too. Have a dedicated workspace with everything you need “set up” – cup of coffee, bottle of water, piece of fruit for a snack. Now you are ready to slay the day.
Wrapping It Up
The Three Things I Swear By this week are simple: make veggies fun and flavorful, dress for the job you want, and the life you want. These aren’t massive overhauls — they’re small rituals that help you feel aligned, energized, and ready to face the week.
Because at the end of the day, wellness isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things, at the right time, with intention.
