Now that people are WFH for longer periods of time, anyone have good WFH tips to ensure that you’re still productive? Challenges that WFH can pose and how to over come them ?

Keep your routines as much as possible. Shower, get dressed, get up and walk away from the computer every few hours. Pick up the phone (gasp!) and casually check on your colleagues and clients. Shut down around the same time you normally would. *Pro Tip* make sure your current internet service is up to par for the work you do. Don’t overthink it.

Don’t forget to shower. Embrace video calls (and put clothes on for those). If you have pets or a family, find a room in the house where you can take conference calls without them disrupting it. Keep the tv off or on mute. Set boundaries. Set status meetings. Set time away for lunch. Don’t watch porn on your work computer.

I’m on day 4 and I’m already a little stir crazy. Following this for tips!

Adding to what AD1 said, it’s really important to take breaks, make lunch, and finish at the same time. I told my team that I’ve been given the advice that too much communication is just right amount, so we are jumping on the phone/video calls all the time to get into the habit of it. It’s been weirdly nice, we decided as a group to be open and keep each other from going stir crazy.

Don’t have children.
