Working From Home
-
Advised or been instructed #WFH to by your manager/workplace (make sure people know where you are)?
-
Internet access (stop here and go find some)?
-
Remote access enabled and tested (if you can\'t access things...)?
-
Required applications installed or available (no tools == no work)?
-
Video conferencing tools tested (don\'t be that fool that has tech-issues connecting! Test your microphone, camera & software)?
-
Suitable space to work from (separate office ideal, kitchen table ok, couch/sofa bad)?
-
Regular calls scheduled with colleagues (don\'t isolate yourself, engage with team mates)?
-
Dressed to work (no need for that suit, but put some pants on please!)?
-
Washing & dishes done, kids at school or setup with activities (get this stuff sorted before you sit down)?
-
Coffee, tea, and/or water available (keep hydrated)?
-
Music (find a good motivation playlist to put on in the background!)?
-
Get in the zone (make sure you have the right headspace to work, don\'t worry if it takes time to settle in, just keep trying).
-
Remember to take a break (you are not 100% productive in the office, don\'t expect to be at home; pick up the kids, hang out the washing, have lunch, take a walk, etc...).
-
Relax (WFH takes time to adapt to, if you give it time and don\'t beat yourself up you can find it rewarding and more productive than the office).
