Tips From People Who Are Used To Working From Home

Working from home takes some getting used to, unless you were ALREADY doing it.
A new survey talked to over 3,000 people who worked from home before the crisis hit.
Here are eight pieces of advice they had for newbies . . . 

  • Don’t forget to take breaks.  It was the most common piece of advice they gave. 
  • Develop a routine.  Don’t just drift through every day without a plan.
  • Create a home office space.  It doesn’t have to be a separate room.
    Even your kitchen table is better than working from bed.
  • Get up and move around.  Don’t stay on your computer when you take breaks.
    Give your eyes a rest, and your muscles a chance to stretch.
  • Set clear boundaries between work and play.
    Do your best to separate your free time from your work hours.
    Meaning specific start and end times.
  • Get dressed.  It’s hard to get in the right mindset if you’re always in pajamas.
  • Keep in touch with co-workers.  Take time to call and email people,
    even if it’s just to say hi and catch up.
  • WEAR PANTS  (ok, I added that one, but sweatpants still count!)
