I love working from home. I think I could still get better at it in terms of taking breaks. But here’s what I do: sit in a place not in front of the tv, put on real clothes so I feel like more in work mode, & start at the same time I’d start work normally.

Oh also - I love to tidy up for breaks.

A workout is great to break up the day too - hard to do in an office environment but I can do a quick 30m workout and come back with a such a rush and crush it. If you don’t go to a gym you can do a 10x10 grid and breakup exercises throughout the day.

Jamming out music over speakers is also infinitely better than over headphones. Get a set of good bookshelf speakers and put on your favorites or a live concert and get shit done!

My routine is very similar as if I’m going to the office. Then I set up- check list, to do list for the day, set yourself up for success and you’ll be super effective with your WFH time. No TV

Heads down time writing? I love working from home.

But concepting, friends, the feeling of unity? I like to be in the office for that.
