1) check your sleep routine. Are you getting enough?

2) wake up and shower/ prep like you are going to office. No sweatpants! At the very least wear nice casual clothes.

3) review your work area set up. What could be improved? Need a wireless mouse? Move the monitor? Etc.

Check last week’s unemployment report... it lights a fire on me when I think of those that don’t have the fortune that we have with wfh.

Not trying to be sarcastic but I don’t want to be the first day that gets trimmed

Ask for more work. Stress does wonders.

Seriously, what works for me is routine. And I clear my distractions, like putting my phone away from me. If people really needed me then they call and I get up to go for it.

Low billable, low pressure work in privacy law? Slowly realizing that as my boys get older, the money isn’t worth what I’m missing out on.

I have limited privacy experience despite being hired for that reason… Have my CIPM and CIPP/US /E and /C. Remote preferred; hubs is pilot with cool intl transfer opportunities. Money isn’t issue.
